New Business Cards (what do you think?)

[Jian Bastille]

These are my old ones : (scanned from the (wrinkled) card itself, original files are missing)

Obverse



Reverse (again, mind the wrinkle)



...and these are my proposed new ones :

Obverse



Reverse



Obviously, the originals are photographic quality, and zero compression, what I'm showing you here is the smaller, compressed version.

Going to send these off tomorrow, most likely. Any comments, or glaring mistakes I've made? I wanted something far more dynamic, and I think I've achieved that!

Flashbacks!! I used to always check my mother's work when she did business cards back when I was in junior high and high school. I had a great eye for catching mistakes, but I think these are beautiful. Can't see any flaws what so ever!!!!

The only thing I think is that the image for the website needs to be a little bigger. The font is beautiful, I love it but I think on a business card size it may be hard to read.
Amazing images though. I adore that!
Love and good luck!

I actually considered this, but doing a lot of business cards, I am careful to highlight/backlight the site name and font, once it's printed at that size, most people won't have an issue with reading it; also, the fact that it's the same as my email address, except for a .com, makes me create the image for the email address perfectly clear, in that case. That way, I am free to stylize, without leaving the reader clueless, should, for some reason, they can't decipher the font. :) Thank you for all your comments!

Your email address is a hotmail.com domain, unless you have email hosted at JianBastille.com you need to increase the size of that site logo bro. You'd be surprised at how most people wont assume you own jianbastille.com ;) Marketing wise the first cards you had would be more effective based on the "readability" of the true "message" of the card: How to find you.

I love the "obverse" side.. It's beautiful and eye-catching. I agree with Tom though.. perhaps the "reverse" side should bring more focus to how to contact you..
I'm in the process of making my own business cards and am wracking my brain with design and concept.. I hope you find something that works! :D

LOL @ Tom, you doll!
