More business cards!

[teaberryblue]

People gave me AMAZING advice on the business card I posted.  The big things people commented on:

–Should have my own art

–Text was hard to read

–”Cute Stuff” was too vague and could be misread in that context

Thank you all so much for all your help! I really appreciate it, even if I sounded grouchy in some of my replies.

So I worked on more designs!  I finished two today and I’d like to share them with you and if people don’t mind feeding more back to me, I would love that!

I have to credit emo_snal with the idea for the echidna.

In the meantime, life is pretty good!  Watched American Idol Top 24 and there were a few decisions on the judges’ part from last week that I’m kinda WTFing at now, but I won’t spoil anybody!

Either! I like the second one better because it feels less... fluffy. I dunno. Somehow the echidna adds more creativity and quality to it. Also the text is easier to read!

I think that the second one has better balance in terms of negative space, too.

But I'm really partial to the font of her name in the first one!

I could play around with both!

Yeah!

On my second look I thought more deeply about composition and all of that, and decided that I much preferred the layout of the second one. On the first one, I get to the bottom and feel like it's lopsided. Even though I enjoyed the top part of the design and the rougher nature of the design elements (fuzzy edges and sketchiness in contrast to the crisp cartoony feel of the second one)

I think I can add some of the rougher stuff to the bottom one, by putting black lines around the background elements, and maybe trying that font.

This. Exactly this.

I think the echidna was a great idea. I wanted a cute animal but a few people pointed out that unicorns and bunnies and kitties could all be seen as too "girly" and as much as I love chickens, a lot of people see them as food. Or awkward and stupid.
