I like #3.
Do you have an area of focus for your business?

These will be used as contact cards, handed out usually when I am doing street photography, so people I meet on the street while shooting (perhaps I am shooting them, they notice me, and we begin to talk for example), or people I meet on the subway or in a camera store.

1, 5, or 6... I think I like 6 the best actually.

I'd make the gray border on the left just a bit smaller by chopping off enough from the left so that the circle before the word "photographer" is centered in the gray box. (hopefully that made sense).

The more I look, I agree, I like 6 best I think, 5 second, and 1 third.

Both 5 and 6 have the feel (5 does much more though) of an older, very nice piece of art like something that you would have seen in the 30's.

Edit: part of it is probably due to the nice grain and shadows in 5...

I like #1, but I would change the grey part to Black. Just my opinion.

Just for reference, you can't really crop the grey area down at all, as it's sized to suit the bleed and trim lines of a commercial printers. When downloading the PSD they give you guides which are like a safe area that you know will absolutely get printed, the rest may get trimmed slightly. The grey area and design work is sized with that in mind.


Cheers, Dave.

Oops, I screwed up. I voted for 6 but I meant to vote for #5. My second choice would be #1.

They are all good - get them all printed up and hand them out randomly...

#5 for me Brian....perhaps in duotone like #6 would look good as well. #1 is also a winner.

I don't like 2 and 3 though.

I agree Jag - I don't like those two as much as the others either. I think you should print up some of every one though. 1, 4, 5, and 6 are all very good.
