Some of those look a lot like letterpress.

I forget where I saw it, but I have seen cards made out of meat before. :lol:

I really fail to see an issue with this. More than likely the only people to notice this fact are here, or other photographers that he gives the cards to. One assumes that most cards would hopefully go to potential clients who more than likely are only going to see a camera. Not a camera bearing a kit lens or a $9,000 lens unless it is jewel encrusted.

I happen to think the card overall is very nice. It has a good picture, simple and elegant design, and conveys the information neatly and clearly. It's the type of card that I like and want for myself.


x5:cool:. He's not selling his business to photographers, he's selling it to NON photographers. For all they know that lens is the most amazing, super duper lens on the planet. If it even dawns on them at all.

Fair 'nuff. I have re-styled with a sans serif font.

And yes, having looked at my homepage, the counter looks a bit naff. Will be gone soon. I'm also restyling my website, but that's for a different discussion!


I have gone with the first and tried a different font as below, which I quite like. (I'm not up on fashionable fonts!)

Sorry, nothing against you personally, but the card looks like it was printed in Microsoft Publisher.

I saw this card once...the guy had all of his info on the back. It was so funny, it was quite the attention getter.

Hi Shane.

I really like the design, however on the front side I count 5 different variations of font / bold / italic when I include your logo.
You have 6 lines so I think you could have easily used 6.
Or simplified things and used less.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Since it is not printed yet, I still have the time to fix it.

I appreciate your input.

Here's a design I'm working on. I'm not quite sure if I like the back, though. Input is appreciated.

I'm digging the background, esp for what your advertizing but I would use a splash of color. Keeping it B&W is a bit plain for clubs IMHO. I would also keep looking through fonts. I like the eroded style and I think your on to something but I don't think its quite there. I also think the font on the back has got to go. But thats just my opnion! ;) I dig the background!
