Biz card for freelance ... want C&C

[lukehng]

I'm thinking of doing some freelance works so I can get some "real pro" experiences.

Here're some business card designs. Please help and let me know which one you like / dislike ... Thanks!!!

Hmmm... None of them tell me that you're a photographer.

John's right, it should say it somewhere, and in most of these you could fit it in without sullying the simplicity of your designs.

I like them all. 5 sorta kinda gives me this web 2.0 impression, making it my least favorite. 1 and 2 are probably the ones I like best, but really 1 would take it if you get it printed on some rough or rice paper. The numbers on 1 may be hard for some to read.

I absolutely love the feel of the first one. Agree that you should somehow put "photographer" on there, and for me it's hard to read a phone number vertically. But the design is striking and simple.

For me, I'm in the camp that says a biz card is a good way to show at least one of your images that's representative of your work and talent. But it would change the vibe you're after.

I'm into simple graphics so number 5 gets my vote.
put the photography thing on it somewhere.

I like 5 and 3. Maybe the photograper/photography could go on the other side of the card.

Thank you all for the C&C. I guess the obvious thing I need to fix is to make them photography business cards :)

[J Eddington]

I just think you need to say you are a photographer or you do photography. Even just your name with photographer after. This could all be on the back side.

But say someone didn't know you and picked up your card, would they go. Oh he's a photographer, let's check out his work. Imagery is a difficult work. It can mean many things. You just need to be clear what kind of Imagery you do.

I like one and three, the only problem with one... is the #'s are hard to read!
Then on the back of the card you can put down what kind of Photography you specialize in.......
That's my story!


good luck....

Freelancing wear? For papers most chiefs or editors want it plain and simple. Name, job, numbers, email. Maybe a logo to spice things up but most are very "just the facts ma'am."

The last four cards, something looks stretched about your website font, maybe it's just me. I like no. 1 but not hot on the vertical numbers or the font that it's in. Since the graphic is black + red accents, maybe follow that theme into the fonts. But as others said, neither leads me to believe you are a photographer.
