Business Card Help

[cpals]

I'm trying to create a business card and need help on the layout. Here's what I've got so far... do you think any of them are good?

If any of you have mad design skills, feel free to help out.

I like number 4. number three is a close second. the other two are too 'busy'.

 

[vi edit]

#1 and #2 are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too busy. You want people to be able to easily see the information, yet still have a uniquness to it. It's very difficult to read the info on those.

Yeah... VistaPrint's own design. Someone else made the other two for me.

Number 4 seems to be the favorite... anything I could do to make it better?

i think 'owner' should be a little smaller and not bold face.

3 or 4. I would nejver even consider printing #1 or 2. I don't really care for the free flipart background in #4 that doesn't realte to the card. That, and the cost difference between jsut black and full color would make me pick #3, but you're probably jsut going to get 100 of them from staples or somewhere.

#1 doesn't seem too bad. #3 is too plain. #4 is probably the best overall. #2 just sucks

I was thinking about taking the "owner" part out of the whole business card since it's just me anyways.

Notfred: What do you mean by flipart? I know what clipart is, what's flipart? Also, I'm going to use VistaPrint.com and I don't believe there is a cost difference between color/black for the front.

I like #3, but with the addition of the "Owner" title as seen in #4.

Go rent American Psycho if you want some good ideas for business cards...

So you think the "owner" part is a good idea?

Something like CEO or President sounds more professional than owner. Taking out owner makes it seem like you just work for the company/represent it as a regular employee, depending on who you plan on giving it out to. (I've done countless amounts of business cards at Staples for a year and a half so I've seen my fair share of crappy business cards and good business cards)
