Advertising for a real estate agent that doesn't have the guy's picture? Around here, agents have their pictures plastered on everything they own it seems.

He is definitely the exception to the rule in the last year I have had Adtechia LLC out of over 1000 sets of cards for Realtors he is only the 4th to not have a picture and only the second by choice. The other two were because they didn't make the office deadline to submit photos.

Signs are the one thing I never put pictures on though. I find it detracts from the property and really doesn't belong on magnets. I keep the signs simple. Agent name, Company Name (Required locally) phone and website. Probably why I have gotten lazy on design. I make the same basic signs over and over all that changes are the Companies. Agents seem to change offices like most people change their underwear.

like you said... not much to go on.
the only thing we get from his logo is he likes his J big and maybe his idea of modern is bold and blocky.

with that little bit of info

Very nice Gypsy. What fonts did you use on that for the contact info? I think the owner of the Office would really dig something like that. Probably won't work for Darin but, I am pretty sure she will like it.

do your clients a favor and hire a designer.

ive seen you on here and am embarassed that you are still here.

your a joke to the industry and a disgrace to designers.

you are way over your head and you are providing a sh*t service to people that unfortunately feel you are the solution to their needs.

do US a favor and go find a new flavor of the day to make your money.

and yes, thats how i really feel.

and LOST doesnt even begin to describe you.

hmm, in light of all the recent posting about people's desire to learn from their experiences in these threads..

sounds like you might want to design up something "like that"

look forward to seeing what you come up with :thumb:

Here is my take on Gypsy's inspiration. Not original by any means. Gypsy inspired it.

working the white letterforms against the black is a WAY better concept, when gold is just an accent... in this spectrum especially...

wouldn't all the realtors working under the Jones & Co name have the same cards?

No, each agent is 100% independent contractor. They get an overall approval on the layout by the owner, beyond that though as long as it has the Realtor/MLS logo and the Company logo. That is about all she requires. Color combos are kinda left up to me. I did all the coloring for the logo. The original was just black on white. No shadow and No color.

The owner's name is JJ so I thought your Idea is cool with the big J in the background and the big J in the logo kinda has her name buried in the design subtly. Only thing I forgot was the office address have to go back and figure out how to fit that in there without ruining the design.

Had already started working on the revision as soon as you said something. My eyes were rolling up in my head though so I tabled it for later today. When I finish up today's paying work I am going to tighten it up and repost the revision.

just wanted to draw attention to the placement of elements on the page... logo, graphics, text, color block... all should have purposeful alignment.

where you place things in your layout is just as important as what you place in it

just one other comment adtech... you mentioned liking the font use used for the info but then went with something more stylized, not to mention more difficult to read... especially at that size.

whether you realize it or not... you probably liked the font because not only is it very legible but it fits the layout... clean & modern

I actually didn't use it because I didn't want to just rip off your design.
