Z-cards (also known as Zed cards) are essential for any model; they are a combination of calling card and business card combined into one unique package. Professionally designed and expertly crafted Z-cards will help you land top jobs and beat off competition, these seemingly insignificant items can make a huge difference when it comes to promoting yourself.

Z-cards must be designed in such a way to catch the eye immediately and they should be updated regularly so they reflect your current look. Think of them as putting together a compressed, condensed CV of sorts; you have to include only relevant information such as current photographs, your name, vital statistics and your contact information (or the information of your agency) and it has to be displayed and ordered in a way that immediately grabs the attention of the reader and draws the eye to your photographs.

Fortunately there are a number of professional firms and companies who will produce Z-cards on your behalf, some will produce generic Z-cards for you if you send in your details and photographs, however the better companies will offer a bespoke design service that will set you back more but is worth every penny in our opinion.

When picking photographs for your Z-cards we recommend a good, clear head shot should always be included along with a full length body shot, and no more than 6 pictures over the entire item. If possible you should always invest in the electronic Z-cards option as well, allowing you to upload your Z-cards to the internet and generate potential jobs via the world wide web.

• Try to include a varied selection of photographs on your Z-cards to allow potential employers to see how well you can work with the camera.
• Always include a head shot and full length body shot when possible on your Z-cards.
• Do not try to cram too many pictures onto your card, doing so will ruin the first impression the card presents.
• Always purchase electronic Z-cards as well where possible. Promoting yourself via the internet can greatly raise your exposure.
• Keep any text on your card short and snappy; be as relevant and to the point as possible.
