After looking at Vistaprint I found this template on the Deluxe section which is a little thicker and glossier than standard, it just makes it a little more professional looking. This template is perfect for what I want and is actually exactly what I had in mind. The gold strips on the front could be changed for either blue or grey however I felt the gold colour to really contrast with the black and grey background and really underlines the title. The layout of the information is also very nice and the font is what I wanted. They had the option to add an address to the card however as I have temporary accommodation for university and my only permanent residence is in Wales and is unpronounceable to most people so I felt it would be a better idea to just not have it on there and instead make space for my portfolio website.
The front of the card is also quite nice and I like the striking gold background. One thing I will be changing is the logo which is currently the default one. I will hopefully be getting one designed by a graphic designer friend. If not then I will move the title and description up to the middle. Whatever the situation with the logo might be I am very happy with these cards. I think they look professional, give all the information an employer could want and having a card attached to a CV is a good way to make yourself that little bit more memorable so I think they will be a great investment and will help me quite a bit to stand out.
