Food Glorious Food: Food Critic’s Business Card
Television reality shows have made the world of the professional food critic something many people aspire to. The food critic spends their time sampling the food and wine on offer at restaurants and by individual chefs, writing reviews and creating or utilizing rating systems. Food critics can make or break a restaurant giving them an important place in the world of food. The professional food critic is a discerning and detail oriented individual and their business card should reflect this.
Avoid overly ambitious or colorful images and clipart on the food critic’s business card. Professional critics want to set a sophisticated tone with their business card. A little color and imagery is alright but it should be tasteful and simple. A single glass of wine or a set of silverware can look nice. Consider using clip art rather than photographs and a sketch style rather than graphic art with clean lines.
When it comes to font choices for the food critic’s business card use something simple but elegant such as Helvetica, Batang, Cambria or Book Antiqua. All work well with the higher end business card. Choose black or brown inks and limit the contact information to essentials. This combination will result in a polished, easy to read styling to your business card.
Be sure to use the best quality ink and paper choices when creating your food critic’s business card. Thicker, textured card always spells quality in the world of business cards. Engraved printing always adds a touch of elegance. Don’t skimp on the finishing details or your card may end up looking cheap rather than sophisticated.
Distribute the food critic’s business card to restaurant owners, magazine and newspaper editors, individual chefs and to friends and acquaintances with an interest in a consultation. Be sure to order enough food critic business cards that you never run out. The professional food critic is a polished individual with a keen sense of the world and their own palette; the business card is your personal handshake.
