Also, add more good things that you do, to even out the amount of "restrictions" that seem necessary.

Basically, when I see that I first flip out because it looks weird with the hands, and then I read a whole bunch of "negative" things that I have to obide by, without hearing about the GOOD things that you do to balance it.

So, put more good things above the restrictions (which are necessary to list, I understsand), then list your restrictions/requirements, and be sure to move the tip-factor to second to last.

OH, and change that damn hand thing!

Just my 0.02, or maybe 0.25.
The brochure is already done and has been printed. I have a thousand copies of it and I love it, as does everyone else. Nothing is being changed to that. I just posted that picture because i was using it to compare my card to, since i want them to match.

Also, that's just the front, back and inside fold of my brochure. There are the 3 inside pages of it that i didnt post.

Couple reasons actually.

first its a small image and sometimes people don't see it as it should be (misreading the intentions of the image).

another reason is because many times the printers cannot get the card right no matter how many times they re-print the cards for you.

Just something to keep in mind.
The picture came out find on my brochure. I used a smaller version of it on the card. It should be fine, according to my standards.

And that image is freaky h:
Again, the brochure is already done and has been finished and printed for 3 months now. Everyone already thinks its been designed by a professional. Why waste my money when i dont have hte money to waste?

Who knows that except for Asians? I've had one Asian client, and that was Mike Louie. He never said anything. :dunno:

No one needs to lighten up. You need to not make ignorant comments about my profession.

The character can stand on its own as a symbol for health. If you were to actually use it in a sentence, you would use a phrase containing the character.

I know this because my parents have a scroll at home with it

Ok, maybe you don't quite understand. I am an attractive 21 year old female, practicing Massage Therapy. If i, for whatever ungodly reason, wanted my picture on my business cards or brochures, do you honestly think i would get the feedback needed to be a successful, legit therapist?

Besides, you said put a picture of "a hot chick on there in some uniform"...if you think that lady up there is a hot chick, then you have more issues than i previously assumed.

Edit* Not to mention that is one of the most unprofessional looking business cards i have ever seen.

Long time no see, Basement buddies.

Mandi, the photo is freaky. And the thing about "illicit" comments, etc is freaky too. You're in the SE Pennsylvania area, right? Do you really think you need to spell that out like that in your advertising? It seems like common sense.

And while I'm nitpicking, let's go for a third thing: that Chinese character.

My suggestion: rethink your marketing.

Thank you for sharing that you are an attractive female, I could care less. (Somone's defensive about their looks ) I gave my opinion and you can take it for what its worth, and if you couldn't tell, I was joking when I put that picture up. If you just read and not take things as a personal attack, you will move farther in life. Seacrest out!
