Business Cards

Hmm where to start....everything seems rather random. The whole 'guy' thing is very informal and gives of a very amateur signal to prospective clients. On the front you call your self 'randomguycreative'. That phrase doesn't make sense...why that logo? I think? it's part of a pen but I'm not sure...and the back just makes an arrow. The yellow is hard to read on the white background. I'd really start over from scratch with an idea in your head...it seems very arbitrary to me. You have to start somewhere though, just being honest.

Well, to start, Random Guy was born out of multiple client comments disrespecting our industry. It's the belief that any person on the planet with a computer can accomplish our ends that birthed the company. Since that point we've pushed our agenda by taking the time to educate all our clients on the skill, time and dedication it takes to be a designer. We started as a one-man shop with design and now feature many creative services beyond the original approach - hence Random Guy Creative (not just design). "Guy" is meant to be informal and inviting, fun to the crowd we appeal to - not necessarily the corporate crowd.
As for the logo, the man represents many facets of our business, mostly pinpointing the ability for design to take the clients up a notch (arrow) with their newly designed look. His head is the creative/business nirvana, hence the glowing. I'm curious why you see a pen in there?
Thirdly, while we use the 3-D rendering in most materials, we've found it useful to have the "simplified" arrow logo for iconic purposes.
Lastly, the color is 30% cyan, 100% yellow - very easy to print and read, however in JPG form it seems to have lost its "punch."

Coming from my company title - Citrus, and using a citrus green colour, all I have to say is make sure you can accurately reproduce the vibrant colour used on the card. I think it is a bit too vibrant. It is hard to read on screen, let alone real world with variable lighting conditions. I know you saw it's easy to read / print, but from what I see with middle-age clients, and florescent lighting, it may not be so great.

I happen to see the front as too busy. There's like a lot to digest. Maybe shift some of the information onto the back of the card and remove some?

I also noticed, you've used a round ball for a head. Just read recently that it really isn't such a good idea. Check the 'Design Cliche' link in the weblinks section. :)

I'd prefer to see only the 3d version of your logo.

Be careful with the green on white. It's very hard to read.

Someone didn't read Ivan's "design cliche" post LOL!!!

I don't like the bobble head dude (see above) nor the arrow. If there were no arrow, we'd definitely see the initials. It just takes away from the initials if nothing else... the back just seems like a waste to me. That's a whole lotta black ink.

Lastly, kerning issues all over (specifically in "phoenix, arizona").
