Things to think of when designing a business card

CONCEPT CONCEPT CONCEPT. (all i see here is something alien-like and very unprofessional looking).

Where is your design principles you learned?Your use of typography is off, no spacing and spelling mistakes. Get a better and more legible typo la as well. I can read all your information and details but it also looks like you selected a random font and plonked it on. Spelling mistakes and mis-use of caps in wrong places.

Also your email looks very unproffessional (tyhoon_omega?), we aren't in high school anymore. Get a gmail with your name on it at least is much better. If your a freelancer I also think there is no need for an address. Unless you wish for your clients to come to your house?

Also you have way 2 many categories, just summarise it la. Its like those pool cleaning fellas who have a list of 10 things on their cards. If your a professional you never list down so many services.

Graphic and Multimedia Design - simple.

Overall to be honest you should just start a new design. Keep in mind also the number of colours u use.. at some places the more u use the more it costs.. if ur just beginning i wouldnt advise to do offset printing unless you have over 1000 people to give as it costs much more than a normal card.

Anyway keep at it la and try much harder.

Too complicated, not really look professional.

If you show this card, you will only get projects from maybe your friends only?

Big corporates wont entertain you.

Remember, make it as simple as possible.

If you want to get freelance projects, make sure you build up a strong portfolio first.

No hard feelings ya ..

the only thing u should put on your name card is your details and also your nature of work, and VERY simple design.....

your desgin is really too much.....

IMO, this name card is only suitable if u are going to meet friends in clubs or social gatherings...it wont get u any business......

i hope i dont offend u..it;s just my 2 cents...hehe

remember to double check the typo before u printing them.

Maybe u can try design a logo for ur company. And only contain Name, contact number, email & services.

Just my 3 cents. Too much grahics and colours and do not know which information i should go first. Always remember that what you want the audience to see first, second and subsequently. Work on these and get a theme that is closely related to your company or personal self.

it think it would be great if u use mainly flat colors rather than photoshop effects. Flat colors = easy to read & understand. A simple logo and the important information will do. I m sure if u were to print out ur current design, u can hardly see most of ur words there. Cheers

If someone gave me this kind of name card, I wont even bother to read the details on it, but instead I'll pay more attention to the designs, those background etc etc. Then whats the point ?

When it comes to a namecard, the information is important. The design is only a side decorating bonus to make it more interesting.
