My Personal Business Cards

For your consideration. Quick BC I threw together, because I'm finally sick and tired of meeting new people and not having a BC to hand out. Critiques gladdly welcomed...just trying to get some feedback. So, what do you all think? Thanks so much.

I highly doubt a printer will ever be able to hold the type for your name, phone and email on press as it's way too thin. [Especially with a flood of brown surrounding it]

As for the design it looks a bit like 'tetris' with all of the random blocks and gaps. Do they have a purpose? The 'ff" reflection is intriquing and the colors are unique but I'm not sold on the outline placement of the "b" as it seems to get in the way and cludder the wordmark.

Oh, and I find myself wondering what exactly it is that you do because it isn't apparent by looking at your business card.

Solid start but needs some refinement

I am assuming this is just a card for socializing, rather than professional?

As the above poster commented: the text is way too small and thin. Reversed text + small = not legible/fill in on press. Don't make the girl squint. ;)

kerning issues: "b" to "." BIG time. "." to "1" on phone number. "o" to "f" on the front with your big name... blah blah. I also don't like the "b." on the front, really don't like the "ff" thing that's going on either.

Why all lower case except on the back with your name? It wasn't capatalized on the front. What kind of message do you think the little puzzle pieces are sending?

love it all the way. i would make the font less light on the back, or make it larger, i agree for printing purposes it´s not the best idea as it´ll make the type less legible.
love the logo, love the colors.

First two things that came to mind...

#1. What the heck does he do?
#2. What the heck is going on?...it's so busy

There are so many design elements within the comp, it looks quite cluttered.
