Default My New Business Cards

FRONT





BACK


Following on from the website theme and brand (still under contruction) the background is the same as the website. The colours also are inkeeping with the logo aswell as the font.
I love it, I'm really happy with it

I particularly like the card front: very nice logo, interesting contrast with the background. I'd tighten up the kerning in "design".

I get a "retro" feel on the back with the force justify, varied type sizing, and the tight leading of your contact info. I'd raise your tag line a tad and center it between the left edge and rainbow vertical line.

Hope this helps.

Diana

I agree
with Diana, the text is not so hot. i would pick an alignment instead of trying to force it into a box. Are the numbers there to replace your phone or do you just happen to have the easiest address in the world.

I like the background I think that it is a nice touch, it may not print so nicely but I do like it.

I know I said this when you had your website up, but again I gotta say, you need a better bean, In my opinion it it lacks design. Too many Colours and rather undscript shape, made to look like an Idea bulb.

Sorry if this is harsh, I say this because I think you can do better.

Thanks Diana and Seedy.. I do appreciate good constructive crit....
Yes the number is example..not my real number..lol

I have to admit I have now orderd my cards using the above images...i did it this afternoon..As I really like them...

Seedy, the logo bean is not just an idea bulb its more about being bright like a bulb...
I have had this design for about 4-6 months now and have shown lots of people..including my 1st real client..they all get it and really like it aswell..im going to go with it. Thank you for your belief that I can improve it. maybe in time I will revisit my logo.

Thanks again guys................& Girls of course :)

Cool, I am happy that you are content with it. Just to clarify I do get what it s and what it represents, and If that's all you need in a design then again good stuff, and you have met your goals.

Good work.

A bit too late now that you've ordered it... but I guess the spacing between the lines where you put your personal details could be adjusted a little so that it looks less crowded?

Like the font you chose for the front.

Like the idea behind the bean, but you might wanna make it even more 3D-ish - now it's something in between 2D and 3D... Nice idea anyhow.

Oh and have you tried seeing its effect in b and w?
