Hi Rebecca :)
i would like to give my little opinion about your design,
here some creative business cards: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/20/effective-business-card-design-better-than-a-plain-ol-business-card/
good luck Rebecca!
I agree with the first review about your color choice, in that it seems very bland. I would also recommend completely scrapping the big puzzle pieces... I can tell you have tried to integrate them into your logo but it just seems templatey and bland to me. I like the logo and the clean layout of information but as I said before the bottom image just doesn't seem to fit in with the top one.
the logo is nice but not the color and the back card are so flat, please concern in design and the typo placement that you're using and also the combination of the color.
i think you have check this site to have more idea bout using the color, http://speckyboy.com/2010/05/19/beginners-guide-to-using-the-power-of-color-in-web-design/
Rebecca,
I agree with the others. I like the logo, but the colors are not my favorite. Grays often times do work nice, but the ones you have chosen seem to have too much saturation.
The puzzle pieces also seem out of place. I like the logo a lot. But the back of the card really needs work.
Here's a good site for something for inspiration. http://logodesignerblog.com/creative-business-cards-design-inspiration/
Hi Rebecca,
I really like this concept with the puzzle pieces and how you intigrated it into your logo. After exploring a couple strong colors together, I would work on bringing together the alignments on the front.
So, if you were to consider making the RK bigger so the left and right of the stems of the letters align to the right and left side of the name underneath. Then I would take in consideration how the bulleted text below aligns to your name above it. (Maybe even take those bullets out and see how it looks.)
I think you only need your name once on the front, besides your RK logo. So, if I had to choose I would take out the one under the RK and keep the other one.
I would maybe bring in your name closer to the words Graphic Designer, so relatively we know they belong together. No matter your size choice of your name I would imagine that you may want to have it align on the right end to the words "Graphic designer" as well as the left.
So, great concept. This is an awsome start Rebecca.
very original idea, congratulations. But would other colors ... are a bit 'too dull. I would use bright colors and contrasting each other.
Rebecca,
I do like the feel and concept behind your logo, but the color scheme is a bit too dull. You could keep the color pallet simple and subtle instead of just going with grey. If you chose to stay with the grey pallet, I would make them less saturated and bold.
I also think that the small letters in the puzzle pieces on the front could be taken out, and allow the type to speak for itself. The simpler the design, the stronger your logo will stand out.
As for the back, I would eliminate the text all together, as the broken type is very awkward. Let the concept of you putting the pieces of a design puzzle together speak for itself through the puzzle imagery.
Great job on the concept and logo, good luck!
