When I started working on Stella last year, my initial plan was to release it as a for-charge testing service. I figured out a way to put unique invite codes on business cards and about halfway through the project I got them printed and started handing them out to people I met at meetups and other events. It turned out to be a pretty handy way to punctuate a good conversation. The only problem was that about a month before launch I decided to switch gears and release the project as an open source tool. That was a good lesson learned! Don’t give out invite codes until the product is up and running. In any case, I thought I’d share the process I used to create them for anyone else that’s interested in doing something similar.

love this

Gregory Whitesite told me one awesome idea for TechEntreprise would be to create custom business cards to members at events. I didn't really think PHotoshop could do this.

Thanks a lot.

Great idea - I think I'll use it on an upcoming project.
