Murray Hidary

Here is a bio: Murray Hidary attended New York University with a major in Music and Composition and is an accomplished composer, entrepreneur and photographer. He recorded his first symphony in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2004 and his photography has been shown in galleries and museums across the country. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Murray is also a world class entrepreneur with 15 years experience having started companies in the Information Technology sector. Murray is the CEO and Co-Founder of iAmplify, a technology media company that enables owners of audio and video content to publish and sell on the Web. Prior to iAmplify, Murray served as Co-Founder and Managing Director of Vista Research, an independent financial research provider serving the country's largest hedge funds. Vista was acquired by McGraw Hill/Standard and Poors in 2005. He was the co-founder of Dice Inc. (formerly EarthWeb) (NYSE:DHX). Under his management, the company completed a record breaking IPO in 1998. Murray is involved with several philanthropic causes. He is the Board President of the new music string quartet "Ethel" and resides on the board of Four Way Books, a publisher of poetry and short fiction by emerging and established writers. He is also a member of the New York University Dean's Advisory Council and is the recipient of the NYU Distinguished Service Award.

The work of Murray Hidary, including music, entrepreneurial activities and photography, interacts with diverse individuals and industries; there exists great variety in the backgrounds, professions and lifestyles of parties that may express interest. The business card, therefore, must be attractive to a wide and savvy audience.

The business card is a comprehensive introduction to Murray Hidary as a composer, entrepreneur and photographer (these words can be used on the card but other words such as creativity and innovation can work as well). While maintaining cohesion, the card should integrate the three aspects of Murray’s work (music, business and art) and present a sleek and aesthetically pleasing package. It should include imagery, and
perhaps icons as well. Please do not submit a design that is excessively busy; keep it simple, but still clever. Both sides of the card can be used.

The card must include at least the following information:

1. Name: Murray Hidary
2. Website: http://www.murrayhidary.com
3. E-mail: murray@murrayhidary.com
4. Cell: 555.555.5555

While a standard size business card is acceptable, the design of a unique card size is welcome.
