fedora-business-cards: call for design suggestions

[Ian Weller]

I'm working on bringing together what I need to do for
fedora-business-cards 0.3:
  http://blog.ianweller.org/2011/05/11/fedora-business-cards-new-repo-new-i...

I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions (other than "change the
font faces", since that's planned) for adjusting or changing the design
of Fedora's contributor business cards.

You might get better / more feedback if you posted PNG samples on your
blog post. I poked around in the git tree and eventually found some
SVGs, but they open up in the git viewer as plaintext and I just gave
up. I know I could open them in Inkscape but that exceeded my friction
quota!

It would be good if we design a new design which is more creative and nice.
Shall we call for designs for Business Card?

One thing I thought was to include a QR code of the contributor data
in the design; free space on the current one is not much though.

I found http://cardonizer.com a good source of inspiration for
business card design

Frankly, i think a change of fonts will be adequate for now.
