Bussy-ness cards

As promised, I have provided some examples of the business cars I have been working on over the weekend. They are available below:
Today I have been trying out some CSS tutorials to create my site. After a lot of sweat and strong language, I have finally managed to get somewhere (sort of) with the website. I have a picture below of how it looks at the moment, in FF and in IE6. I think I’ve done pretty well to get this far with my rather limited web authoring experience, and from having no CSS knowledge at all. Hopefully over the next few days I will start to do the other pages on the website. The site in its current (single page Edit 04/04/07 : now multiple pages and rollovers :) ) state is available to view here:

I am aiming to do the PDF version of my style guide next week, and finish off any album cover research and experimentation in between tasks. Please comments on my website progress and business cards below.

I quite like idea 2 of your business cards Julian, however I'm not sure if it would be suitable.

Not being a printer or having any printing knowledge I could be wrong, however to print each business card differently surely it could cost quite alot?

I realise we have no budget for this assignment (as of yet) but I think we still have to take the attitude of doing a real project.

As for the website it is looking quite good for your first time using CSS. I took a similar route to start with (as you may be aware) but gave it up as learning it would take too long as waste valuable time. I decided to play about with CSS in the summer.

On a final note, I think your idea of creating a PDF for the style sheets is a good one. I have too decided to create a downloadable style guide so it shall be interesting to compare the two when they are both done.

I think the idea is very novel to have the 3 cards make up a jigsaw.

It would make no difference in cost whatsoever having them printed this way as each card would be treated as a separate job whether the content was minimal or drastically different.

A good idea that would only cause problems if someone else joined the company and wanted to join the 'domino' team. Maybe a tiling effect could be used, whether it be 3 cards or 20 cards, they could all join up and be added when needed.

Comment: Hey, it's Smriti. Your article is a good one. I must say not everybody knows how to write blogs and make them look professional. Being a law student I always look for data points like charts, analysis in articles. Yours seems to give justice to the topic. My personal style includes a lot of graphs, numbers and informative videos. I write on
