Instax Business Cards

2

Different. Business cards that marry Digital to Analog. Something personally created that is different every time. A unique product that raises peoples interest in it, and the process that creates it.

Necessary materials:

  • An instant camera (a Fuji mini 50s)
  • Film for the instant camera (Instax)
  • Transparencies (overhead projector type)
  • Possibly a computer and printer, or some artistic skill to draw/write on the transparency
  • Super glue
  • Creativity

After creating the business card:

and glue the transparency to the unused film cartridge.

Insert the film cartridge into the camera, and take a picture:

You now have a business card/picture to hand out:
