Michelle, i love your card! Kemal and i did look at a lot of business cards and we wanted ours to look a bit different. Maybe that's because neither one of us are mainstream kinda people.
i used to work for a small publishing company designing ads. i did it for awhile until i moved from the area. I didn't design this card but i did give my input.
Doug, i made these kind of cards routinely...but NOT as business cards...just as advertisements. clients wanted ads that looked like business cards. sometimes the client wanted a certain design, but most of the time i had to come up with my own.
Of course, in the newspaper business you're trying to attract people's eye...and there's a lot of competition in the paper. What is gonna pull someone's eye to an ad? I guess that's how i tend to think still. I want people to take a second look at our card...ya know? i think kemal did a good job with that.
I used more than one font when i designed ads, and graphics are attention grabbers...if they're done right. is ours done right? dunno...guess that's why we're asking for help in here.
When i look at the card, it looks to me like we're selling photography and 3D art. We call like the name Creative Adventures because we can do a lot of different things. Art is about creativity and it's certainly an adventure...well it can be! :)
Doug, you said to make our card to the point. What do you think should be left out?
Michelle, does our card reflect our website? dunno...we're not done with our website yet. but the card does reflect us i guess. it's not classic by any means, but then neither are we.
i hope our card shows we can think outside the box.
it was kemal's idea to have a picture of us on the card. it's different, and well, we both actually like that. we think it's nice for people to have more than just a name. we like them to see who we are. :)
thanks so much you both for your opinions and suggestions! really means a lot.
here's a new version. Whatcha think? this any better? we used some of your suggestions and here's the result. the email addy won't work yet. kemal still hasn't activated it.
