i think your logo (one with all those colours in) should be bigger - perhaps half the length of the card? all of them seem too minimalistic for my liking... perhaps u could have it double sided, with one side being maybe 5th one in ur site and on the other side a big sized logo? |

no... you listening to me doesn't matter, you don't know me and i could be talking out of my ass! BUT: You shouldn't have random pictures on your business cards, they mean nothing and you should be thinking of keeping your colour palette down!! one-colour or two-colour!!! A business card is the FRONT MAN in the branding of yourself, and can say alot of things either good or bad. I'm sorry to say that yours just says un-experienced, a lack of pre-press knowledge, no brand understanding, these things aren't bad considering your age. But they do stick out like a sore thumb in your design work! Last edited by cocknose : 15-01-2007 at 11:27. |

Cocknose is right. The first impression that card gives to me is amateur. it just doesnt fit together. I know you've had a few go's at it now and something just aint clicking. Why dont you try something completely new? you havent got anything set in stone here so give it a go. It definitely aint a good idea to have different cards for web design illustration etc!!! 1 card is all you need. 1 card to rule them all. |

It suggests to me that your type skills are some what rudimentary. Therefore it fails instantly. Typography needs subtle sophistication (especially when it is trying to sell skills such as a designer/visual communicator), unfortunately your cards do not have this. I suggest looking at your type choice, placement and leading etc and see how it affects the negative space withing the card. I am sure with a liitle research and foresight you can push these miles as the logo has some strength (it is fairly technicolor though) but needs to be unified with the type and space. |

You don't need to overcomplicate it imo. Best designs I saw recently were Dan cederholm simple bits http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2...4/pressed.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/simplebitsdan/345499451/ |

i dont like any of them... as you are keeping it simple with tons of white space the type needs to do the job and it doesnt. try different fonts, try customising a font, maybe make more of your four colour icon or something... as said above if i was pulling business cards out of my wallet to contact a 'new media designer' i wouldnt pick any of them... harsh but true. |
