)P\D~\2--:~A.N PeopleCards lists \ii~ t'-J\0\)f~? stats on non-celebs

continued from B 1 Drawn from tbe shuftle The PeopleCards company faces the difficult task of determining which people deserve to be preserved for posterity, without buying into the typi­ cal celebrity image. Individuals featured on PeopleCards, Herman says, must take pride in their unique outlooks, opinions and views on the world. Herman and his co-workers randomly "discover" these people through newspapers and daily interaction, or choose them from the slew of fame­ seekers who attempt to convince PeopleCards of their worthiness by fill­ ing out the questionnaire on their Web site. Questions include seemingly mundane queries that only yield interest­ ing results from the most creative. Those picked to appear on the cards manage to display their originality by responding to questions such as "Occupation," "Your Idea of Perfect Happiness" and "Most Used Expression." Finally, after Herman and his co-workers select the best responses, these people are asked to submit a photograph to accompany the informa­ tion on the card. These photos, rarely formal portraits, manage to capture the distinct personalities of the individuals, whether they are wedding shots, baby pictures or dressed as clowns. Pocket Picassos Besides allowing average citizens the opportunity to share their indi­ viduality, PeopleCards let up-and-coming artists showcase their work to a wide forum of diverse viewers. The first edition of PeopleCards features artwork by Debra Walker of San Francisco. Media coverage of her political interests and work for "artists' rights" attracted attention to her as a local name, Walker says, leading to ber dis­ covery by Todd Herman, vice president of PeopleCards. Walker says the appearance of her work on an ArtCard from the flfSt edition of PeopleCards has noticeably increased the popularity of her work. 'Spider-Man' fans scaling walls in anticipation 'Tve had several direct responses from PeopleCard collectors, and vis- its to my Web site have gone up as well," she says. .
