Design a membership card

[Caryl]

I have decided our membership cards need an update. Anyone like to have a go designing new ones? They will be printed here at home on a colour laser, not professionally, on A4 sheets and cut on a guillotine. I use Word and Publisher but if done as a high quality graphics file I can use most in both these programmes. I should be able to fit 12 to a page (2 rows of 6)

The basic requirements;

Card needs to be business card size eg 9cm x 5.5cm (or slightly smaller)

Must have FNZAS logo (see top left of page) and name

Validity dates (Aug 2010 - 2011) as cards are renewed annually

Current cards also have "Membership Card" written on them (helps identify what they are so probably a good idea to have on yours too 8) )

the FNZAS treasurer's signature

and states that XXX is a current member

These last two you may think are unnecessary

What do you think? Want to give it a go?

I am playing around with ideas at the moment and may or may not use any other suggestions, or a mix of ideas.

Email your designs or suggestions please. You have a week or two to come up with something

Remember the KISS principle!

Have you had many sent in?

Would love to see other peoples designs would be interesting to see what people like.

[Caryl]

Apart from my own ideas - 2 so far but I am hoping for more after the weekend when people may have more time to think about it and work on their designs. The 2 submitted are great and totally different to each other. I figured I might post the entries in a week or so and run a poll or ask what members think.

[livingart]

would that mean only club members would have the right to vote in the poll?

[Caryl]

Since FNZAS members are the one eligible for the cards I should think it only fair they be the ones to judge. I am happy to listen to other opinions though

[SamH]

I'll give it a go later

[Jennifer]

Ha ha! I knew Sam would get into it. 8)

I might give it a go too...if I can find some time. :-?

[SamH]

Ha ha! I knew Sam would get into it. 8)

:oops: I gave up last night, I'm not very inspired. I'll give it another go later perhaps.

[Caryl]

I have 4 so far. All really good and all totally different! :bounce:

Come on, send your ideas.

[Caryl]

Last chance for entries! :bounce:

[Adrienne]

I've started but have been so busy redecorating our four bedroom rental that I haven't finished it.

[Caryl]

Well it is more important than re-decorating so take a break from the painting and get it finished this weekend! :lol:

[Adrienne]

still re decorating sorry!

Guess it will have to be another time :roll:

[Caryl]

OK here are the 4 submitted. Which do you think? Does it give you another idea? Perhaps a combination of some? You may like some aspects and not others. For instance, card 3 was designed so no matter which way around the card was in the wallet (assuming it was short end in and facing front :lol: ), it would be easy to spot!

Card 1

Card 2

Card 3

Card 4

Thanks to those who took the time to design them :bounce:

[antwan]

I like card 4 the most. Nice and clear, but also appealing to the eye

[reptilez]

i like card 2 the most,

really fishy!

[phoenix44]

FANATICAL member? what? :lol:

I like the layout of card 2. but without the goldfish. a zebra pleco would be nice, or why not use one of our POTM entries on the card instead?

and change fanatical to financial.

[axolotl-danio]

I like card two also but with the correct spelling :roll:

[Adrienne]

perhaps it could stay at fanatical because it is all too true. I like them all but can't decide between 2 & 4. Probably 4 because goldfish aren't my thing although there could be a mix of pics to depict the fact that aquatic societies are not just fish.

[bdspider]

I like 4 best, it's got the nicest design and colours.

2 is ok, like the fishies.

[supasi]

My vote for 4

[danilada]

I vote for Card Two! - Even with the goldfish!

[Simian]

Card 4

[Caryl]

I think card 2 is starting to edge out card 4 8)

I actually like them all! :roll:

[kiwiplymouth]

I like #4
