Business Card Basics
hosted by EBSQ Self-Representing Artists and Wendy Gonick
Monday, May 14th, at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific)
EBSQ Chat Room
Wendy's personal business card
"Do you have a business card?" If you find yourself responding "NO," perhaps it's time to give this topic some thought. Handing someone a professional looking card helps make a positive first impression. In addition to its many uses as a marketing tool, an artist's business card is a great opportunity to make a unique artistic statement--think of it as a mini billboard advertising your artistic talents. The more original and striking the card, the more likely you will be remembered.
EBSQ member Wendy Gonick recently designed a business card to promote her artistic endeavors. She will walk you through her process, while introducing you to the basics of planning, designing and producing a professional business card specifically for an artist.
A professional graphic designer with 19 years of experience, Wendy Gonick has worked on a wide variety of design projects including business cards, logos, books, posters, postcards, catalogs and annual reports. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and currently runs tabula rasa graphic design (http://www.trgraphicdesign.com) with her husband. Wendy has always enjoyed making art, and appreciates time away from the computer to explore a variety of media. She particularly enjoys mixed media collage, watercolor and color pencil.

EBSQ Live! Procedures
You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking
on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname
and select "login."
When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started.
During Live! presentations please refrain from saying
"Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone
leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive
to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit
for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!
As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements
and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has
10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards
before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may
be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on
to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be
taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free
to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and
want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for
the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.
Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However,
you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations
so sit back and soak in the information.
EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct
This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct
should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior
will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from
the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This
is not debatable.
If you have an area of expertise
and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future
EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
