What do your business cards look like?

where the S connects to the D, is what makes it look like a B.

I see it now...I tried to have it disconnected but it looked way too busy n not streamlined enough..hmm maybe I should have had it separated

On your next card maybe try not to have that top bulge. I like the top connecting line, but the extra bulge up top makes it look like a B. Just smoothly curve it all the way around for a better looking D.

Heres mine...

Overall.. too busy. Text and graphics everywhere. Consider having a different card for your different endeavors. If photography is a business endeavor, why have 2 websites listed? You may be giving people too much information and confusing them in the process.

If your zenfolio site is a personal endeavor, like mine is, consider removing it from your cards.

Text in places seems a bit bigger than I think it should be for a good design. And I don't see a need to list "photographer" on the card when it's already saying "photography" in a few places.

Thank you for the feedback. One of the most common comments I see people getting here is "Your font is too small, your font is too unreadable". I tried to make it as easy to read as possible. Noted on the "Photographer".

my card....what do you guys think?

Have you done a test print? The font is pretty tiny, and might be hard to read.

I like the logo monogram, the rest of the layout seems like the photos might be a little small, as well as the text as someone mentioned. It would be a nice poster or marketing flyer though.

Oh my! This thread led me to moo.com and I am now going to make some freaking awesome business cards! I will let you know when they are ready for critiquing.

Hello everyone

I stumbled on this site and although I'm not a photographer I registered in order to see the business cards on this thread.

I've just spent an enjoyable few hour looking at your cards - photographers' cards are usually interesting and there are so many original cards on this site.

Whether cards are cmyk with photographs or more simple I always think it's a pity to spoil a good design by having it printed on thin card at the cheap online printers like vistaprint - but these days a lot of people are economising.

Well here's my current card - although I'm in the middle of re-printing a new one.

It's letterpress foiled with clear debossing and white foil text on black (extra thick) 540gsm Colorplan card.

Cheers - David

thx..i did a run of test prints - friend owns a print shop..font is smaller but is pretty easy to read.

This is a card that I just designed, It has not been printed yet but I will be getting it printed by moo sometime soon.
What are your guy's opinions on it?
