The cards themselves are very institutional and easy to create.
The paper size is 5.5in. wide by 3.25" high. It is to always be on a white paper stock preferably card stock or thicker.
The typeface is 16pt Arial.
The margins are set to 3/8ths of an inch (.375in.) on all sides.
The content is as follows in this order:
Name of manufacturer or designer it's probably on the piece (if unknown simply put Unknown)
Title of Work (what the piece is i.e. Lamp Post)
(double space)
Year
(Double Space)
Description of materials used and size of piece Height X Width
Location of Piece (City, Region State or Province, Country)
I am in the process of creating an editable PDF where can just plug in the information until then you can follow the above format or just email me (contextproject2010@gmail.com) and I'll create a PDF specific to your intended piece.
Once these are printed and they will need to be affixed to a rigid surface before being photographed. Quarter-inch foam core trimmed to size works well but you can use any material that does not extend beyond the edge of the printed material.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me at contextproject2010@gmail.com and thank you in advance for all the help.
Sincerely,
Adam LeNaire
P.S. Here's a link to a site where I've uploaded didactic card templates.

maybe you can publish an master of the card in pdf so everyone just can fill it in in photoshop/illustrator/indesign or word(blech)
ReplyDeletegood luck
Photographers should be able to credit themselves on the card.
ReplyDeleteThat way you don't have to go around collecting that information after.
