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.

agree

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

just make it simple and easy to understand...imho laaa

Take all the compliments and improve yourself.
Hope to see more work from you in future!

thank for u all..kindness opinion..

i will try it out later with a good looking simple buiness design..

yup keep it simple...readable

its doesn't hafta be so flowery..
you've giving it as means for ppl to contact you...not to promote or anything

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.

what? noone pointed out his horrible typos?

flash desIGing?
video enCORDing?
n wtf is web MAINTANCE?

looks like lacking in DESIGNING skills ain't your only problem, buddy.

wahh.very harsh la u guys

aiyoo..
bro..so ok..i will correct good..before i get to print out..


thank you..for ur kindly advise..

^^

well said


btw i've seen at name card with black background....chun...nice and clean...the logo thingy on ur right...if u really want it....reduce the opacity ...main object is ur logo and ur detail... the logo thingy tend to catch attention more than ur detail... keep it up!

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.

i prefer the black colour..i mean the first one...heheheh

u give the card to an old businessman and lemme know if he can read within few second..

VERY BAD TYPOGRAPHY
not profesional looking..

very very bad typo....imagine real scale, how to read? u think they keep ur card so dat they can put inside picture frame izzit?

imho of course

maybe a simpler design,black background with white typo...it will look nice..just my 2 cents...i'd prefer something simpler...

nice & glamarous design.

i tot is from Lim Kok Wing student design..hehe

as i read thru the Surname first.
