I’m with the Rev, I would have to pick #2 as well, but not because of the Greatful Dead, but because it does leave nothing to change. Plus it kind of breaks up the constant simatry _spelling_ with the surrounding lines. Very sharp IMO - Great work ---

if you put a website on there then you dont even really need much on the card. i mean if you have your number and email address on the site, and your url on the card why would you need to take up space you could fill with other chit? on my card its just my name and website with a small graphic in the back. simple, clean, nice. ---

I like the second design. Mabue put a little more space between the strokes though. I would also try something other than the honey combs. I know they look nice but so many people use them. If U want to stand out u have to do something different. I also agree with rev. U should have your url first and larger. If u want people to see your work they have to clearly know where to go. People hate reading small print. Good Luck at the show. Wish I lived close enough to vegas so I could go :\*( ---

yes number two is much better in my opion,its just cooler. Now on topic of the card, i do agree w/sintax . The text should be a bit bigger. The hony comb effect looks cool, although is used alot by others. -mike:cyclops: ---

As a thought, how about putting a screenshot of your website on the reverse of the card? That would then give them an immediate sense of your style and talent? ---

Rev gives some excellent advice. Here’s my two cents: I think it looks great - I like how the honeycomb bleeds beyond the borders and it provides a nice background. However, you might want to increase the margins for the text. They seem to almost be falling off the edge. Plus there’s a little too many type faces/styles for such little information. Try picking two combinations and sticking to that. Other than that, you seem to be pointed in the right direction. Good luck with everything.
