This month's business card

[Pat Whatley]

We burn through a box of business cards every 4-5 weeks. I try to do something different each time.

After seeing a bunch of cards posted here and in SignCraft that were flat out Photoshopped to death I decided minimalist was the best plan for this month. Ordered them with a matte finish on the orange and a gloss finish on the white.

Yes....it's got 1980's design all over it.

Space monkey death ray is still my favorite

 

[Fitch]

Perfect. If anything Pat, I would introduce either black or bark brown for the lower text block.

Cheers - G

You should have started with black and white

 

[Malkin]

Very nice!

I recently discovered League Gothic and would have been tempted to use it here.

 

[Pat Whatley]

Actually I started with white and black. I'm a non-conformist.

Thanks for the font link. Nice, clean condensed FREE fonts are kind of hard to come by.

Needs an ice hockey playin' chimp and a yeti shootin' at big giant titties.

Can anyone near signmeup stop by and lend a hand. He's off his meds again. :ROFLMAO:

Actually it kinda makes me think of the graphic style Cinemax uses for their lead ins.

Fred you must not have seen this one. I can't rember who's work it is now but it was a "business card" layout help thread like this one.

i love it...

Well Pat I find the simple, plain, readable advertising works best, since your new card is all it will probably bring in loads of responses and make you rich.

I love simple.
I pray every night before I go to bed that there will be a huge epiphany of simplicity in the design world.
But it ain't gonna happen.
Love....Jill

the matte orange with the gloss white is a really cool idea. great color combo for summer. I like that it is under whelming in that it isn't photoshopped to death but the matte/gloss combo makes it clear that even if it isn't over done to death, it was well thought out all the same. nice work Pat.

Hmmmm ... I must have missed that one. Brings to mind the old chestnut that "Truth Is Stranger than Fiction".

Nice site!

@ GG - You're such an over-achiever

@ Pat - perfection! It takes courage to sometimes to do what's right lol

Here you go Pat. Figured I'd give you a head start for your fall card design. I know I went a little over the top, but I can't help myself. Notice the subliminal reference to the letter falling and the autumn colors, just like the leaves do!

This is why we get paid the big bucks
