business cards

[<Zed>]

Hello!
I was in the process of making myself a business card, to give around some independent pharmacies. After hours of contemplation, i came up with my "brilliant" idea. But now, it suddenly occurerd to me that maybe it wasnt so brilliant.
So instead of using a pharmacy cross, i decided to take a picture of some generic ibuprofen, since they are a nice colour, and have this as the side picture of my cards. But can that be done? Can you put a picture of a couple of tablets on a business card. The few business cards ive seen havnt had anything of the sort so im curious.
Apologies if this is a silly question.

If you take the picture yourself it should be ok, i mean to be honest unless the picture shows clealy tablet markings how would anyone know which tablets they are anyway.

To be on the safe side you could contact the manufacturer by phone and ask for permission that way.

Most companies would not mind for after all if there product is recognizable from the photo then it is like free advertising for them anyway.

I design business and also print them but cant do so for about 2 months due to printer problems

You're more than welcome to use mine though, if you like!
Seriously though, google 'tablets' in google images...you're bound to find one you like there. Download it to a USB stick, and you know how to do the rest. Good idea in my opinion...makes your card that bit different. Just don't drive around housing estates in a black BMW M3 with reflective glass.

Fleeg.

Thanks I have, but I am wondering how much information do we include as a locum. Do we add our registration number? etc
I can't believe I've never seen one

Well there are no markings, so i think ill be okay that way. I took the picture myself, added a few extra borders using photoshop, and i think ill upload to this photo website that print business cards.

lol id love to use something random or a cartoon/puppet character, but i dont know how many booking id get! Now if i googled the image there'd be copyright laws id be breaking or id have to reference the picture on the back of the card! I Wish i had a bmw m3 to drive around!!

Well im just gona write my name, locum pharmacsit, mobile and email address. I dont think you should write down your reg number and then hand them out, can you imagine loosing one on the street, some random person picking it up and then impersonating you!... or maybe im just getting carried away.

Heres what mines may look like if i dont change it 2morow:

not sure about the grey writing though.
