And the winner of our business card contest is…

October 27, 2007  |  By Travis  |  Happenings   

We ended with 18 entries, a few of which stood out. After Eric and I spoke with Andreas at Orange32, we chose the winner. And that is, Naomi Dunford at IttyBiz. Her entry, The Art and Science of No-Bullsh*t Business Cards, is a straight-forward guide as to what not do with your business cards.

So congrats to Naomi, who we’ll be helping design and print her 5,000 business cards over the next few weeks. We’ll post a picture of the cards when all is said and done.

This contest, our first at YGG, was a huge learning experience as to the format, marketing, and approach. While we may have only had less than two dozen entries, we have to thank everyone that took the time to participate and help us spread the word.

Of course, a huge thanks goes to Andreas at Orange32, the coolest cat in the design world. Orange32 is one of the most interesting printers/firms that we’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with. I think both Andreas and I learned a lot about what entrepreneurs do and do not understand about design and printing, especially with business cards, and will hopefully translate that understanding into content on YGG.

Eric and I planning an insane event that’ll probably take place in late November. From that point on, we’re going to try and make these contests a regular event here, and make it easy for every single one of you to enter.

Thanks again to Naomi, Andreas, and every single one of you young go getters!
