    It's getting slightly better.

    I think the problem with your designs have been that there are too many visual elements that are clammering for attention. I would say since your logo is fairly bold and takes a lot of attention, just make everything else simplistic and back to the basics.

      When I look back, I see that what you're saying makes perfect sense. I'll take some time and focus on simplicity.

      Thanks.

    Metin...

    You really need to look at your business card differently than you would anything else, in a lot of cases this is your first shot of making a good impression.

    Don't get me wrong, it's better than the first time, but really not that memorable.

    Try something out of the ordinary, make it square… or make it thin like a strip of fortune cookie paper, across an otherwise blank card.

    Like most things in life, sometimes simply is better.

    Body font: try DIN, or Bebas

    change the title to something more that web & graphic solutions: maybe interactive design, broaden your horizons...

    Good luck

    orange color

    Posted on Oct 10, 2009 at 4:47 AM

    the orange can be replaced with brick color

      It looks too bright in comparison to the yellow. The brick colour would be much better.

      Thanks.

    Typography

    Posted on Oct 10, 2009 at 6:39 AM

    Hey,

    looks good but it's just not there yet. The text is way to spread out.

    Also the color are not the best choice.

    Regards, MEster.

      Hej MEster,

      Apparently, I screwed up a bit =) I'm working on the placement of text, and colours.

      btw, Have you seen the alternative version I uploaded? There, in my opinion, the colours look much better, and the text is organised better.

    To busy

    Posted on Oct 09, 2009 at 12:55 PM

    The design is just to busy to me. Relax on the colors and design. What is a business card for? It's for getting your contact information out there, so why not just keep it at that?

    simplify?

    Posted on Oct 09, 2009 at 11:13 AM

    It's not bad at all, but it were mine I would simplify it. (In my own card there is only Adobe Caslon and nothing else and I like it). But this is a matter of taste so I suggest you also listen what others have to say.

      You are getting there, I like the first one of the updates most. But I would still leave more space around the logo ;-D How should say it... it would respect the logo more, if you know what I mean.

      Take a look at these:

      Hi there Miro,

      I got what you mean. The examples you attached your comment clearly describe the whole point. Right now, I'm browsing through various business card designs to get inspired. Well, I've started to feel like the logo is pushed up, which doesn't look good. This is something what you and other fellows have emphasised. I'm gonna work on it once again, and soon post a new version for review.

      Thanks for the advices.
