Don’t know what a comp card is? Don’t know what to put on it either? Below is everything you should know on how to make a comp card for plus size models!
Whether you’re signed to a modeling agency or not, if you’re actively applying for modeling jobs and auditions – you should have a comp card!
Comp cards are basically your business card for being a model. Your card contains a couple photos alongside basic information about you that is useful/essential to a brand or agency.
Comp cards are pretty simple to make and inexpensive to purchase and have on hand.
At the end of this post, you should be ready to make your own!
This post is all about how to make a comp card.
Comp Card
What size should your card be
Typically, your card should be 5.5 x 8.5.
However, if I ever run out of cards and don’t have time to order a new batch, I will just print out my card on a 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I wouldn’t recommend this as you’re going to as computer paper is usually flimsy and gets messed up easily in travel.
But I highly recommend getting 5.5 x 8.5’s printed on quality paper.
What should be on the card
Your card should have on it…
- Your name
- Number
- Two – five photos
- Measurements (bust/chest, waist, hips, shoe size)
- Hair color
- Eye color
- Website (optional if your independent, but would suggest having one – find out WHY here)
The only exception to this would be if you have an agent/agency! If you have an agent, it would be their information, not yours.
How should the information be organized
Front Side
On the front side, you should have your headshot and name.
Back Side
On the back side, you should have one photo or 4 photos alongside your measurements and best contact information to reach you at.
Note: if this was a printed comp card, the left side would be the front and right side would be the back. However, most likely, the measurements would be added to the back portion and not the front.
Where should you get it
If you have a modeling agency, they will make your card themselves and they usually have a trusted company to print your card.
If you don’t have an agency or manager, you can make yours on canva for free and it’s super easy!! Or if you want, you can pay someone on Fiverr to make one for you!
