Business Card - Which One

[Saralonde]

For me it's just a little too much on one card; my eye keeps jumping around. I'd go with #2 but remove the sides because I think they are hard to read and don't really tie in to the overall effect. I agree with the blue being a little distracting.

I'll work on it some some more - I was trying to be lazy and not resize everything so that is why the black in there - LOL Anywho - I also see that I should fix the blue photo b/c I cut her off at a joint (her hands). Will post the new one soon - hopefully...

I agree about the font size. A normal business card is a little bigger than half the size of the images. People with 20/20 vision might have to put on reading glasses to see it. I'm also not sure about about the cropping of the pictures. They look nice and all but most people want to hang up pictures of their children without their heads cropped. Maybe using 2 or 3 pictures would make it easier on the eyes. Like one pregnancy, one baby & mom, and one child. Then have the logo in there somewhere with the writing on the top and bottom. Just my opinion though.

For me your font is too playful and casual. I don't care for the horizontal lettering either - again too casual. Your font says a lot and you need to choose carefully. Study adds in magazines and see what feel your get from different fonts. The words/info are spread all over the card which makes your eye travel all over the card to find it... it has no punch, no wow factor. You have WAY to much going on in such a small area. Pick your best image and go with that. If they're interested, they'll look at your website. I agree with what everyone said about affordable. The images are very cute!

It was bugging me so, I just went with my old card with no images on the front - I was taing too much time. But I do like the casual aspect of it b/c trat is part of my marketing strategy - let the kids be who they are - if they want to run in circles, so be it - very casual.

Need to get rid of Affordable. It cheapens your product.

Too many photos. I think a more consistent processing for the photos would be better also. I'm another that says drop the "Affordable".

I was about to say something similar to the above. Personally, I would like something less busy. Also, I think all the info should be in the same spot. Like items should be grouped together is something I learned from a book once. People try to get too cutsie on business cards and it ends up being hard to read and find the info. I would go with one image OR perhaps a watermark collage of three images that cover the entire card with the contact and other info on top of that.

i like the first one
