My Business Card

**Troy@Protekt** · 02-15-2009, 07:23 PM

Very nice.

Being an amatuer desktop publisher myself, my cards have gone through a progression a lot like yours have. I started out wanting a card with a car plastered across the whole thing and laying the words over it. I finally realized that the car was competing too much with the words for your attention.

I think it`s important to develop a style and/or logo and use it for everything. Marketing has never been my strong point but after 18 years I have developed it a little.

BTW- Do you mind if I change the name of this thread to "My Business Card" or something like that so people know what they are clicking on?

Here is the front and back of mine, a graphic designer designed these. He kind of messed up the bottom red banner, it was supposed to be lower but o well.. Next time i order more cards it will be fixed. Let me know what ya`ll think

I like the way the photo is a black-n-white with the old buildings in the background

I also feel you have your info tastefully done....

It was supposed to look like this..

**ExquisiteDetail** · 05-15-2009, 06:17 PM

Everyone tells me its not really that big of a deal, but it bothers the crap out of me. Especially since i ordered 10,000 of them..

That`s right Flash do what you do and let the other guy do what he does best.

Remember "WE HAVE A GREAT DESIGN GUY HERE" I am sure he would help us get a winning product.. TMG...

Remember its only money...

That`s a sweet looking card!

**CARTfan** · 05-16-2009, 10:28 AM

That is a great looking card. My only concern would be the copyright of the photograph. Did you or the designer pay for the use of the photo on the card? Unless I`m way off base and you took it yourself, in which case kudos are in order for a great shot.

Thanks guys. He Just put my flyers together, they look really good also. As far as the copyright i dont think its should be a problem. Im pretty sure that the picture is one of his. This guy was a part of major Architectural designs in some of the tallest highrises in the southeast.
