    Move the URL

    I love the concept and am sure you'll make the impact you're after with this design.

    If I have a "disconnect" it's this: the first nanosecond I saw the card, I thought your business name was – it's passion. And I thought, "what a great name for a design studio!"

    Then I quickly realised (duh!) it wasn't. But interestingly, the thing that made gave me that initial impression was the placement of your URL. It's in the position a tagline should be. And because there's no symbol or logotype, the yellow type draws the eye.

    I would put the URL into the other contact details. That's where I expect it to be and I disagree that it needs prioritising. You're right, it's a given that I'll look at your portfolio, so nothing further needs to be done.

    From a strictly copywriting point of view, you're killing the punchline. Let it stand alone in response to the statement on the reverse – it's "cleverer".

    Well done. Hope this helps.
