What Do You Put on a Comp Card? A well-designed comp card should be visually appealing while also including essential details that potential employers can easily reference. Here’s how you can use your comp card to increase your chances of getting hired:
- Include a variety of images. Typically, comp cards feature 3 to 4 images that showcase different styles, including headshots, full-body shots, and various hair and makeup looks. These images should reflect your experience and versatility as a model or actor. If you want to include more photos, consider using a larger comp card size.
- List your measurements and contact information. Standard measurements include height, weight, chest, waist, and hip size. You may also add eye color, shoe size, and dress size. Make sure to include up-to-date contact details so employers can reach you easily. If you have a portfolio website, be sure to include it as well.
- Choose a coating for your comp card. Enhance your comp cards with paper coatings to make them stand out. Gloss and high gloss UV add a sleek shine that makes images pop, while a matte finish provides a more subtle, luxurious look. Select from these options to make a lasting impression.
