Thoughts on Business Card

Okay this maybe a little off topic but I was wondering if I could get some outside help. I am currently pursuing my race car license and I decided to make some business cards for hopefully future sponsors, but the question is should I have my detailing on there or make a separate batch for just detailing? Any comments or suggestions would be great, and if my design isn't great I would love to hear any improvements.



Thanks

Brandon



This is a quick thing I did on photobucket

I'm sorry to say, it looks like a quick thing you did on photobucket. Spend a little more time on it, find designs you like, and implement a good design, rather than a quick one.
 
No thanks that is what I wanted, I wasnt really feeling the card but I do not have much photoshop skills.

do a search for business card programs online an find programs that make it easy to make cards an import photos
 
I would start over I think. It is dark, a difficult font, and the two subjects are nearly unrelated.



Consider separate cards.

Consider a clearer font. This is even more important if you insist on the current color scheme.

Consider cleaner artwork.



It might be worth adding a small business statement.

IE. Our detailing is your mirror. Or something (better) than that.



Good luck and keep us in the loop. Maybe we can get something snazzy figured out with you.
 
No offense, but some of these business cards that people are posting are horrid. How are you supposed to grab customers with that. I wouldn't take that serious at all. Look at what other people do or even look at example business cars...use that idea and and your touches to them!
 
The card is also to dark. You wznt something to catch the eye. I was always told that white was the initial color to use1 I don't know, mine are white with a car on both sides. One side is a old car and the other side describes some of the services I perform.
 
I always liked metal cards, Copper or Rainbow Titanium looks great, put a ruler on back or something , people never throw it away. Try Vistaprint.com, great pricing and tons of free stuff, Good Luck, PM

Note. DO not give Vistaprint your main email address. They spam advertising daily. Sometimes more. Give them a secondary or tertiary email address. They do good work for the $$ though. I use them sometimes.
 
Honestly, I would probably find a graphic designer to handle this for you. I'm positive you could get the work done for $50-$150 depending on how involved the final product will be.



And a side note, that 'Auto Detailer and Amateur Race Car Driver' bit just reeks of those fake 'License to Kill / James Bond' ID cards they sell at swap meets and theme parks. If it's a must have or related to your business, and you're affiliated with a sanctioning body maybe 'SCCA Member' would be a better representation.
 
Thanks for all the advice guys, I will keep my cards separated. I am painting the car over winter break so I will use that on my cards for racing and use one of the cars I detailed on my detailing cards.



Thanks once again

Brandon
