Could you design my business card?

Hi All,

If it's not one request from me it's another ;o)

Seems like I just can't work with photoshop :( I am desperately trying to create a business card for the two websites I run but everything I do ends up looking rubbish.

The card needs to have the details of both websites on it and then I need one version with my contact details and one with the lady I work withs details on.

The logos for the cards are:

and...

I've included the details for each logo and then the contact details for each of us underneath that.

You can download the template we need to use here.

Can any of you come up with something for me? Doesn't need to be anything fancy, just professional enough to hand out to medical professionals at conferences!

Thanks folks :o)

Wow Tal, you really ARE getting in deep, aren't you?! Wish I could help but this is definitely not my area, but wanted to comment how much you impress me :)

Thanks Sheila :) We should have 6 sites by the end of the year including one for the British Association of Neuro-oncology Nurses so things are really taking off for me (us?) at the moment :)

I've printed with VistaPrint before, and I have actual DTP layout software in addition to Photoshop. I've done lots of business cards in the past ... but probably the soonest I can get to it is tomorrow sometime.

Unless you print these two-sided, your logos will have to be very small.

I have several thousand fonts available, if there's a typeface family or two you particularly like ...

On the cards with your individual contact info, do you still have both logos? And does the first have neither or both of you on it?

On my business card I would like half of one side to have...

The RoseBuddies Logo:

And underneath I would like it to say

Fundraising in memory of Rose McGill.

And on the other half of that side I would like...

The Astro Fund Logo:

And underneath that I would like it to say:

www.astrofund.org.uk

Providing information, inspiration and hope to anyone affected by a low grade brain tumour.

How ever, I realise that is a bit long so if it won't fit then let me know!

Then on the reverse I would like...

The BT Buddies logo:

And the following text:

Natalya Jagger
Founder of BT Buddies

www.btbuddies.org.uk
email: natalya@btbuddies.org.uk
Tel. 05601 751226
Mobile: 07890 724204

I'd also like this side of the card to have the following wording somewhere on it if you can fit it in:

Providing information, inspiration and hope to anyone affected by a high grade brain tumour.

Is that any clearer of have I just made things worse?

So, one card front with generic info for both sites, and then two backs, one for each of you and your own organization....

That system may not work once you get up to six sites though ... ;-)

Any font preferences? If not specific, at least do you want a serif or sans-serif style?

Katie's card:

That's plenty to work with for now ... you'll be seeing (and making corrections/changes to) a draft before you send it in for printing anyway.

Paul, thanks for doing this and giving me a break from the task mistress. Jeez, my boss at work doesn't work me as hard as T does ;)
