Business Card Printing: Reflecting an Illustrator’s Favorite Things

Steph Calvert Art, the brainchild of illustrator Steph Calvert, is a one-woman illustration show. Based outside of Savannah, GA, in the small town of Guyton, Calvert is a work-at-home mom, where she shares her creative space with her two children. Calvert rebranded her company in order to become a full-time illustrator. One essential in the process? Business card printing. For this next big step, Smartpress was the online printer for the job.

Speaking about her incredibly unique logo, Calvert said, “I didn’t want it to look too corporate. As an illustrator, I really wanted it to look unique and fun.” After earning her degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design, followed by over 15 years of professional work, Calvert was able to bring her handiwork and online printing together perfectly.

The result? A custom business card in a square shape and added ultra gloss UV coating to make the colors and details pop.

“I didn’t want it to look too corporate. As an illustrator, I really wanted it to look unique and fun.”

Given the brackets within Calvert’s business card logo, it may seem as though rounding the corners of the card would have been a no-brainer. However, rounded corners were not part of her original design. It was only after Calvert received the original proof that she decided to opt for one of Smartpress’ premium online printing services: rounded corners.

A great choice indeed, and one of many to choose from, including paper stocks, weight, full-color ink, variable data printing, shrink wrapping and more.
