Working on my business Card C&C

[sunlou]

Can you help me with my design

 

[Robin Usagani]

I dont think you understand bleed size, trim size, and safe zone.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Looks right heavy.

What are evenements?



Must be BizCard season.

 

[sunlou]

No I don't know the rules of bleed and safe zone

Évènements is french for event, all other words are kinda bilingual.

 

[Robin Usagani]

meaning, your yellow border will probably get cut off. Same thing with your text. I wouldnt use a border if I were you. If you want border, you need to make it a lot thicker. If they dont cut it completely centered, your border might be thicker on one side.

 

[sunlou]

how large should I allow for my writing in hthe bottom?

What did you mean Bitter ?

 

[Robin Usagani]

How are all the other words bilingual? They look to be plain English to me.

 

[sunlou]

Well some are bilingual like Glamour, portrait sports studio shootings...

there is only photography that is really english only .. but it's my brand name so...

This has potential but there are some issues.

1. First, did you create this in Illustrator or Photoshop? Create it in Illustrator and make sure all graphics are vector-based.
2. If you're going to have color going to the edge, you will want a 1/8" bleed on all sides. Thus, your trim line will be 3.5" x 2", but the image will extend 1/8" past on all sides so when cut there will not be any white border, etc.
3. Bottom text is way too close to the cut line. ASafe zone is likely 1/8" inside the cut line. This depends on the parameters of your press.
4. Logo is off center. Looks odd.
5. If you're going to make the "L" a slightly different yellow color, it's best to make it a dramatic difference. Now it looks more like it's an error.

If you have the original in Illustrator, feel free to PM me and I'll play around with the design if you want.
I have a slow day today anyway.

Your text across the bottom will be miniscule on a real business card.

 

[o hey tyler]

Do you have a website or email address? That's usually pretty important to have on a Business Card as well.

A few issues:

• The main logo is not centered
• Get rid of the border
• Get rid of all that writing at the bottom
• Put your website on it
• Put your email address on it

I don't know how it is in Canadia...... but here in the US of A switching back and forth between languages is a pain in the ass. If it were my card, I would pick either English or French, but not a combination of the two. Or........ if there is space (and it doesn't look like there will be) both.

Again, I don't know the social norms where you are from, so this switching back and forth might be the standard. To me it looks like a serious, uncorrected typo.
