Business cards

RR - I was just going to say that.  I'd like to see what you can do with both the card and the logo.  I love seeing what people can do graphically.  I've seen some people that do amazing work and I could only wish to be as good.  Are .psd files interchangeable between mac and pc?  I just copied the file and duplicated to the best of my ability without removing any information that he had on there.  It does seem that there is too much of the same information on there but if nothing else I figured it would drill the information into the potential customers brain so they wouldn't forget it.    Anyway, if the .psd files are interchangeable I could shoot you over my file to use.  I did it fast so none of the layers are labels and it's a little confusing to work with but it got the job done.

I was able to make some changes to give you an idea what I was after - make sure you match the font - I think I was close  :golf:

[Kitzy]

I like it.  Just for comparison I put them all in the same post.

hwm3 - post your new card when you get it.

Hey guys, update on cafe member Robby32

His brother (my neighbor) told me that they are without power with no eta...wanted to tell me he is not ignoring posts just cannot get online right now.

I really like this layout. My next question is, should I change the wording for the services I provide, or add something else?

[Kitzy]

I was thinking.  You know how the saying goes, Diamonds are a girls best friend?  What if it went something like :
Diamond Z Auto Detailing
You car's (or auto/vehicle/whatever) best friend

Or something of the sort.  I just don't know how many people would get it.

Here's mine. I got them to give to friends after I detail their stuff. Not really much "marketing" other than friend recommendations. I like the simplicity. It doesn't really explain what I do, but my work says enough. Like I said, 100% of my business has been word of mouth.

I'd get rid of the white strips if I could, but they're not too bad. Got them from vista print.

[Center Stage Auto Detailing]

Not fancy.  and made them last year so the web site is wrong.  but punched them out on Microsoft Word and my printer so they were cheap.

Like this? Or the white lines around the border of the card that can't be seen on a white forum background.  Haha.

Exactly ESF. The vista print website doesn't allow you to do much tinkering. I got like 250 cards for 10 bucks, so it wasn't a huge deal. If I ever run out, I'll probably do my own thing.

Looks a lot better without the white around my truck.

ESF -

The card is better with the white removed.

One more tweak -

from a design stand point the truck should be moving into the card not out - so place it on the right to retake the photo so the truck faces to the right.

That way when the card is looked at the truck will direct the viewers eye to the copy not away from it.

Like I said, Vista Print.. Haha.. They don't give many options. It's nice to be able to have something to hand to people is all.

See that's stuff I wouldn't even think about but since oyu pointed it out, it makes a lot of sense.  Actually, now it bothers me.  Haha.   :thumbsiup:
