no need to really. it's a job title rather than a promotion of service.

didn't have any job title on my old card... couldn't figure what to put! might dump it in the new one too as it doesn't really mean much to an average client.

or i could put Senior Creative Directing Executive (BA Hons). clients would like that i reckons.

on the move richard, nice.

personally i would drop the 'do good advertising' bit, maybe the 'templton on the green' bit as well. don't think thats really nessesary

seems a bit cluttered.

like the potato prints above btw

Which one is it? It either needs more contrast or is too cluttered?

Coops · 12-12-2007, 03:58

I like the potato prints an' all...

It looks shite on screen but when you get it printed it will look superb.

Both, but one can solve another

Do Gooder · 12-12-2007, 07:06

the latest incarnation. put a bit of 'crap card stock' effect on the visual.

dropped allot of text. including (as karloff said) the 'templton on the green' bit.. which i think is the name the landlord gave to the whole block. don't really need that i fink.

all text now ranged left which i feel more at home with.

dumped the t: e: and w: bits along with dropping my mobile number entirely. ha.

cheers all the comments

If you want a close crop, I feel you should have a reason for it (either style or concept driven). Maybe make the type slightly skewed, as if has been sloppily printed, in a nice organic way of course.

Maybe tight one side, loose above?

badaboom · 12-12-2007, 08:16

looks good,

lucky your trimming them yourself as printers would have a fit!

true. at the moment it is simply because i can... and there isn't a client to fuss and worry over it.

it's one of those jobs where you produce the plate/stamp mix the inks and just see what you get.

the concept we are trying to put into everything we can in our new office is reuse of waste. not to be mixed up with ya normal recycling, which is the reprocessing of waste into new material... close cropping does't really figure in that!

the easy option for us is sticking with the rough potato printing... which will be sloppy and skewed - guaranteed!

bin thinking i might go with potato printing to save time. got to build the desks for the new office over the next few days. we are using reclaimed wood which will look great... but will know doubt cause a few sweary words getting installed.

the pics are of the old trestles that will support large roofing timber worktops. going to look tops in our office - which is a studio in an old carpet factory.

a meeting table made out of steamed flat whiskey barrel wood is in the pipeline. fun stuff.

Do you know what contrast means? And it's contexts?

Coops · 12-12-2007, 09:10

Anyway Mr Gooder. This is an improvement, however I do still feel that the text is too close to the edge of the card. And I'd still have the text smaller and shoved in the bottom left corner (equidistant to left and bottom - 5/7mm?).

But then again, what do I know?
