The cards I have now will get me through the next con easily, but it'd be wise to reorder before the next. That means updating the design! I like the "I DEMAND ATTENTION!" idea, and those at the cons seemed amused by it too, so it's staying for now. The art for it is quite old at this point, so today I drew a new attention-grabbing Tiffany.
For the design, I made a few changes:
- I removed the Precocious logo from the front, so I could make Tiffany bigger. This may or may not be a good idea.
- Fonts switched around. While I kept the Precocious font for Tiff's voice, everything else was upgraded. The new logo font took over the important info, and a non-offensive Franklin Gothic was used for supporting information.
- The Bud and Autumn on the back were upgraded with the recent magnet images. (Poor Jacob remains shut out.)
- The tagline was rephrased to mention the daily updates, and "webcomic" was changed to "comic" so the label purists won't get mad. (I don't care what you call my strip, as long as you read and enjoy it!)
- Twitter and blog links were added to my information. It gives folks other ways to contact me, and lets them see my personality in action. (Is that good or bad?) The downside is that the back is now text-heavy. I do think the black box for my name did a good job of stabilizing everything.
- I made the blue background cover everything. The original card has a separate white space where the logo and website appeared on both sizes.
I'm liking the upgrade so far, but I'll see what the reaction is before I do any more playing around. Plus, it'd be silly to order new business cards when the company I'd order from botched my magnet order and hasn't come through with the corrections yet. (I was promised it'd happen, but I'll still worry until I see the proofs.)

I like the Bud & Autumn pics together. Gives a Good & Evil feel to it; except that the "good" has an artificial halo to make one wonder just how 'good' is defined here. :-) :-) :-)
