My Lost Tsinelas business card :)

As each blogger has his own identity, I find it relevant to have a business card for yourself just in case somebody asks for one. It happened to me several times already, and for each time I gave my office business card which doesn't really say much about my personality. 

It isn't a trend, but I notice that more and more people (bloggers and non-bloggers) are making personalized business cards for casual encounters with characters they deem interesting. In my case though, I finally decided to have personalized cards of my own so that the next time somebody asks me about my blog and what I do, I can easily give them something that would tell them just that. 

The design


I'm fully aware that my business card looks too colorful and is actually in full color. Others like it simple, I don't. Both the front and back sides of the card shouts green as it is my favorite color. I asked a close friend of my brother to do the design for me since although I can be good at doing abstract designs, my hands were never good enough to do decent artwork. Check his website or reach him via e-mail: jed_dumawal@yahoo.com. Jed works as a Graphic Artis and Visualizer at LOWE Philippines

The story behind the name 

When I started blogging under Lost Tsinelas, the very first post explained the idea behind the name. Simply put, I used to misplace my slippers and would always seek help from my yaya (nanny) at the time to look for it/them. 

I finally received the first batch of cards yesterday and I must say, they look amazing! :)
