Thoughts on Business Card
Okay this maybe a little off topic but I was wondering if I could get some outside help. I am currently pursuing my race car license and I decided to make some business cards for hopefully future sponsors, but the question is should I have my detailing on there or make a separate batch for just detailing? Any comments or suggestions would be great, and if my design isn't great I would love to hear any improvements.
Thanks
Brandon
This is a quick thing I did on photobucket

Re: Thoughts on Business Card
I'm sorry to say, it looks like a quick thing you did on photobucket. Spend a little more time on it, find designs you like, and implement a good design, rather than a quick one.

Re: Thoughts on Business Card
I would start over I think. It is dark, a difficult font, and the two subjects are nearly unrelated.
Consider separate cards.
Consider a clearer font. This is even more important if you insist on the current color scheme.
Consider cleaner artwork.
It might be worth adding a small business statement.
IE. Our detailing is your mirror. Or something (better) than that.
Good luck and keep us in the loop. Maybe we can get something snazzy figured out with you.

Re: Thoughts on Business Card
No offense, but some of these business cards that people are posting are horrid. How are you supposed to grab customers with that. I wouldn't take that serious at all. Look at what other people do or even look at example business cars...use that idea and and your touches to them!

Re: Thoughts on Business Card
The card is also to dark. You wznt something to catch the eye. I was always told that white was the initial color to use1 I don't know, mine are white with a car on both sides. One side is a old car and the other side describes some of the services I perform.

I used pages from "iwork". I used the business card maker then just inserted a photo. Really easy.
