(This swap was inspired by @thehappyhoneybee 's Design a Character Calling Card Swap )
Swap description: The Business of Fairy Tales
Surviving in the land of fairy tale can be a complex business, so for this swap, you will send each of your partners business cards from 4 different fairy tale characters (or derived from 4 different fairy tale scenarios), helping them to build up an essential contact (or avoid!) list, for those inevitable times of need. Such as...? How about...
- ...Fairy Godmothers Unlimited Γ’β¬β wish fulfillment for the pure of heart; spells guaranteed until midnight
- ...The Gingerbread Man Γ’β¬β the runaway biscuit weight loss program!
- ...Beans Talk Γ’β¬β magic beans at magic prices
- ...Pay the Piper Γ’β¬β charmed music to free you from your woes
No cheating by using these, but you get the idea. The business could belong to a fairy tale's main character, or one of the unseen peripheral characters who surely play a part in the outcome of a story. Use your imagination!
In addition to 4 business cards, you should also include a flyer for one of the businesses you are representing. This gives you a chance to expand on services available, customer testimonies, additional illustrations etc.
Swap requirements
- Send each of your 2 partners a set of 4 different fairy tale business cards plus 1 flyer
- Flyer should be minimum A6/quarter-size
- Flyer may be printed on card/postcard or paper, single or double-sided, folded or flat
- Flyer may be text only or text plus illustration.
- Business cards should be approx. business card size, but anywhere roughly between 7.5 x 5cm and 10.5 x 7.5cm is fine
- Cards may be single or double-sided, sender's choice
- Each card should include business name, a clear indication of the business/services offered, and means of contact (this can be interpreted loosely). Be creative with how you present the information!
- Cards may be text only or text plus illustration.
- Cards may be individually hand-drawn/hand-written, scanned/photocopied, or prepared using PhotoShop or similar.
- Business cards and flyers must be your own original work but may include copyright free clip art & illustrations
- Please make sure your own profile references at least 2 different fairy tales. Although this swap is not profile-based, it still might help inspire your partner/s! (However, please do not rate your partner down for not matching your personal favourites, as it is not a requirement.)
Where to start?
The obvious bit
As well as meeting requirements as outlined on group homepage participants must have no late swaps on their dashboard, no 3 ratings in the last 3 months, and no 1 ratings in the last 12 months. I will check before assigning partners, so please contact me if you are concerned. I will take extenuating circumstances into account, but the happy swapping of the majority is the most important factor.
