Default Business Card

[ATTACH=CONFIG]84261[/ATTACH]

Attached image shows front & back. This is my first go at designing a card. Do you guys see anything that needs to be added or changed?

Otherwise I think it looks good.

Personally I don't like it. Maybe it is the color combo but something about it seems unprofessional. Too be fair I have never owned a business card and maybe something like this would stand out more. But I feel like simpler would be better.

EDIT: After looking at the card I was also unsure of what you did. I had to go to the website to figure that out. Although this might not be an issue because I assume most people you give your card too will already know what you do.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not sure if spelling out exactly what the website is or what I do would be a good idea. I think between the film strip and the slogan, it gives you a close enough idea.

The card has too much going on. I'd suggest single-sided card or minimal info on the back. When you give out business cards to someone, they usually write a note on it to remember where you met, what you discussed, etc.

put all the important text on the front, much larger.

leave the print of the film on both sides, but no text on the back.

?

I could axe the "warning" section for the sake of space.

I think that's about as good as it's gonna get if I'm going to put the relevant info on front.

put your name and title huge on the bottom left.
email, site, tiwtter, phone huge bottom right.
slogan top left and right?

important info just seems like it needs to be bigger.

Warning is not important. I would axe it and just have the film scroll on the back.
