Biz Card Critique

I take it the blue one is the back of it?

Looks like it's missing something at the top (content half way down), maybe have the icon thingy in the background (on the front) in a pale blue, or even top left, or failing that move the content up to the middle.

Very professional but lacking a little info for my taste

I like it!

Like Busy, however, I would suggest a logo or some sort of branding in the upper half or the upper left side of the card.

Did you design them yourselves? Also, how are you printing them?

I'll play with the inside a bit too see if I can reduce white space, but I happen to love the use of it, so it may just stay plain. As far as lacking information, Busy, I know exactly what you mean, but I am having a hard time tastfully coming up with some descriptions.

Eskater05: Yes, I designerd them and I'll be printing them here locally at a print shop.

Thanks for the comments guys!!

Looks great. The emphasis on white space is a great approach. Looks very professinal. The only thing I don't like is the way you have your name bigger than the logo text. They're fighting with each other. Make the name smaller - maybe the same size as the other text only bold and coloured so it still stands out. Make the top edge line up with the address line.

Yep, I would have to agree Megan. The two type faces are actually the same exact height, but because of the difference in the kerning and serif, they appear to be different sizes. I'm going to shrink down the "Joe Nicora" and re-post. Good eye.

Ok, here is the modification.

What about making the back with just the logo landscape? That way, someone looking at the back and front of the card won't have to turn it.

To help with the white space, you could try putting your logo as a watermark, the same size as you have it on the back.

I would probably make your name smaller - it looks ok now but I feel its still fighting for attention, just not so much of it.

Looks good, don't think there is much to change actually.

nicora Love the look of the card. I wouldn't change a thing I love white space.

How much are you paying to print them. I believe I can get you the best deal. Ah Heck, I know I can!

Actually, I haven't got a bid back yet. It seems that all the local venders in my area cannot provide the service I require.

What I am looking for is a textured paper and rounded corners, in addition, of course, to the double sided print.

So you want them die cut with rounded corners?

I can only do them in with UV coating on 15pt stock. Which fits your design lovely.

I can print you out 1,000 for $150.00 and that's full color 2 sides. I'm not a printer but since I'm a graphic Artist I have connections for my freelance projects.

I don't think a texture would compliment your card. Your design stands on it's own and with UV it would pop like a magazine cover.

Oh that's without the Die Cut. A die cut card runs more but if you give me the exzact demenions I can get you a quote for that also.

Usually die cut cards run you about 125-150 more cause they have to create the die and what not.

Love the card, interesting logo, does it symbolize anything in particular?

I'm not sure if you need to put the see me create in blue on the side of the card with your information...considering your web and email address have the same name as well as it is on the other side of the card. You might want to put your logo there instead, that way it won't be competing as much with your name.
