Opinion on new Business Card

[Mike Wilson]

What do you think? Gonna be laid off for a year from G.M. Thought I'd

Get back into an old hobby/business for a while to turn a few extra bucks!

Might even do some detailing like I used to do up north...

I don't think you need to put "Call:" on there, since listing a phone number will be enough.



Also, I'd make the phone number a little easier to read, bigger bolder font; that font looks a little small and I personally find it hard to read narrow numbers/letters.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Looks good Can you make the phone nos. darker and higher contrast?

The card is all over the place. Very busy.



Why not put some of the info on the back of the card to give it a cleaner look. And, with the high tech age of photography/internet, there is no fax #, no email address and no web address.



What is the name of the business? AudioGraphics or Mike Wilson Photography & Design?



Is the card a bleed to the edge?



Don't need a slash at the end of "Advertisement"



You don't need "Call" on it as a phone# is a given on what you do.

 

[Mike Wilson]

Phone # was the #1 comment/suggestion from the family also!

I'll jot your suggestions down. I kind of agree with the "busy", also.

And my printer screamed when all of that yellow ink ran through it!

I'm thinking even two cards. One for the photography side of it, and

the other card for the greeting card, etc... part, or at least two sides.

I'll take suggestions for a while from friends and family before I print

another run...



Thanks, All.

You also need your business address on your card. The services offered should be on back. The front should only have business name and contact info. Stick with a single font. You have nine different ones as far as I can tell.



THE FRONT:



Audiographics

Photography and Design



Address

Phone#

Fax #



Mike Wilson, Owner



I'd leave the "Kodak" logo off, since most people aren't too impressed with that company's products these days. They were left behind when the digital age came. The name of your company is confusing. Where does the "Audio" part of the name come in? Do you take wedding videos? These services can be listed in detail on the back.



Given that graphic design is part of your business, your card reflects directly on your skills. It needs to be impressive, so perhaps a photo should be on the background. Something where all the colors are light and soft, so you can put bold, black letters over it for easy reading. Good luck with your business.

Not to be totally picky or anything, but I think you have too many fonts, and too many sizes, too many shades. The alignment of text is all over the place too. I just think its way too busy.



What I beleive should be done is keep the contact information on the front of the card, and if you want to list that many services this should be incorporated onto the back. Either this or have one side dedicated to the Design end, and one dedicated to the photography. Basically 2 cards on 1 card.



You should have atleast and 1/8th inch clear border around the entire card, so that text is not touching the edge.





My 2 cents. A true friend stabs you in the front, not in the back

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Will you give out free sunglasses when you hand out the card?

 

[George T]

well it is too busy...but since graphic design services it shouldnt be just bold.....i mean have the main ideas(address, phone,name,etc.) in one font, and other minor details of what you do in other font.



Good luck

Everybody has rectangle shaped business cards. I think yours should be round.

 

[Chad Merry]

I dont understand the name Audio Graphics. What does sound have to do with graphics?

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Chad...first bullet - CD Jewelcases.



I suspect at one time that was a big part of Trac's business????

 

[Thomas Rogers]

BTW, Tracnblack, I can't say enough good stuff about the custom business cards you can generate for cheap at:

 

[Chad Merry]

I still dont get what CD jewel cases have to do with the name. I realize that CD's contain music, but????
