I'm making me some cards this morning and I am looking for something easy yet attractive. So I need some ideas...
Can I see your business card?

here's mine :0)

& back-
I like the simplicity of the back and I leave it without a UV coating on it so I can write things on it if I need to :0) |

Looks really good though.

Hehe yeh I wouldn't print it myself - I'd just end up with a load of soggy card! I got them printed at Vistaprint.

Yeah I've had Vistaprint print other business cards before. They do some awesome work.

Thanks so much :0) Yep, I do a lot of weddings but I probably do more portraits. The thing is that I absolutely love weddings and I generally make more money on them so that is what I show- the stuff I want to do more of!
I like this one better but I gotta say I don't like the text running into his face. Maybe you can do something about it without reducing the size of your text? Maybe put your contact info on back instead? |

I think I prefer the other one. The one mentioned already I think has too many different font sizes and seems a bit cluttered. Also the "Photography" seems squashed to me - I think people will recognise the font and know/assume it isn't normally that shape. Also I don't think it's entirely necessary to have an email address on there as well as a website? But I could be wrong on that one. I just wouldn't email someone without looking at their website first if I knew their URL, and the website should have a visible "email me" link on it anyway :)

Card 1
I like this one better. I also agree about the text overlapping the face. One other thing is the number of fonts. If I remember correctly, 2 fonts max for most graphic design layouts is plenty, especially business cards. You've got a great start and most of the comments are easy fixes. Please post the final when finished. |
