I took a check like that from a model once. When she first handed it to me I nearly fell off the chair. It didn't bounce, I actually made a color copy and hit hangs on my lab wall even today.

I say get some made up!! One thing is for sure they won't through it away...!!

Great fun!

I guess it depends on where your market lies, but I don't see it getting you much work in the commercial arena.

Get some made up and pass them around. Be sure to immediately highlight that your daughter designed them! Sure to be a conversation starter for some potential customers. :D


Editing welcome :D

You could get them double sided with more formal information like your phone number on the reverse.


Always happy to hear some critique

I agree.

Get the cards done but have the double sided with professional info on the other side.

If you shoot a lot of kids & people, I think it's a great card. Just add your contact info on the back.
