help needed please with my business card layout?
Posted by James Martin on 23 May 2007 at 14:25I’m at the burn out stage trying to make my mind up about this.
Any constructive would be very welcome.

dont have time to give anything constructive at the moment but prefer the top one. 😀

The only thing I don’t like is the black outline around the red text on the business name. That combination always looks messy. Perhaps you could separate them with a thin white line.

James, if you are going to list your services on the back of the card I would increase the number of services to take in more of what you can provide for your customers. It’s not like a van where the idea is to keep things brief, on the back of a business card I always thing there is room to cover most of what you can do.

Sorry James but I like Karl’s option much better.
Your design is nice but too subtle, it seems to lack the WOW factor a bit. although like I said is "Nice" almost pretty :lol1:
sorry

Karl, which software did you use to produce them?
I like Karl’s first one.Glen

Sorry to hijack the thread, but for some reason I can’t post a new topic or edit my posts. Just thought I’d pop this on! The banner above me shop! 😀

The only thing I would change is the red text.
As has been stated, the black outline doesn’t help it.
Even the white pinline doesn’t.
I would solve this by simply making the text in black.
Love….Jill -

Hi Andrew,
Can you explain your idea mate. Sorry for sounding dumb. 😳 -
No problem Karl 😀
I like what you have done and I really think it works, however I like to suggest alternatives because I still believe in creating something that was constructed out of maybe 2 spot colours, because it allows it to be used cost effectively in a variety of applications…….[not so much these days!]
So I have always gone down the route of creating a logo / logotype and then working on placing that logo and then dealing with the other text and keeping it consistant……
however it usually looks corporate and not always appropriate but I still like to suggest it……antiquated or correct I’m not sure?
Cheers

I see where you’re coming from Andrew. I like to use full colour in all the work I do which is why I came up with these. Glad you like them 😉

Thanks everyone all these points mentioned are valid.
Tks karl for that first card especially (it makes me look as big as tesco!)and the follow up call earlier on tonight. I will get back to you personally.
To late for much else tonight but tks for now.

Boy you must have been excited after the call to log on at this time of night. I’m pleased you like it. Give us a call, if I can help I will. 😉

First thing I thought was "joiner / builder". Maybe it a combination of the colour scheme – the ‘white vans’ and the house in the background.
OK, it says signs in text all over it…but I’m not ‘seeing’ signs / designs.
Maybe it’s just me…
Out of them all – Karl’s first one has the most appeal to me. Just it’s simplicity – nice & to the point.
