Ha! That would work for me too! Very tempting.

But given we both tend to advise smaller businesses which may not be quite so tech-fluent, there could be clear value for having some old school information on there.

Next time you order cards, maybe make a few spartan ones, as you describe, and gauge reactions?

I’m seriously considering a card that just says,
“Peter Mahoney” (front side)
“Google me” (reverse).

In reply to eurydice13. Depends how targeted you want to be, and how flexible the printing of cards is. I guess with digital printing you can have variations anyway at no extra cost. Might be simpler to just focus on the 'design' aspect. Create a bunch of mockups and get feedback... like you're doing here :)

Interesting idea for the camera self-portrait. Me vs. my creations. Amusingly enough, that was the first kind of photo of me the internet ever saw (http://exintaris.com/2013/06/do-i-really-need-a-photo-for-linked-in).

But then I get to the part of “I make websites / wireframes / publications”… Would you have cards for each aspect? (standard front, varying back)
