Hello guys at PG
This is my last buisness card design.
These first two are my old design front and back (the back is the white and black text)
I've been fairly happy with handing those out, but i would like something more professional :)





Im working on a simple and a bit more neat looking front for my next design what do you think?
And what more should i include or exclude? this is my site www.muzoworld.com
I hope you guys can give me some inspiration for a new buisness card
best regards muzo
 
Its to expensive here in Denmark.
- Thats why im going to make it my self, and i dont wanna order for some site were you just fill in the text.
 
Well, the images are nice, but the way they are composed is quite boring.

First of all, having all the text the same size is not a good way to present it.

The most important line, the business name, should be large. A little smaller could be the house/, etc.

The contact info should be arrange together in some manner and considerably smaller.

The images should be varied in size and work off of each other. For instance, soundcloud could be larger, even "bleeding" over the business name. Maybe even have the opacity lowered over the text areas. The self-portrait is of horrible quality and color balance is porr. Is your actual photo better than it appears? There is a glow artifact around the head which might be from sharpening but more likely is a compression result.

I'll give the components a try and see if I can demonstrate what I mean.
 
Here's an idea for a layout. I would do it differently to some extent - maybe - if I were to remake it from scratch. And as I said, that portrait must be higher resolution, even for a card.

slight variation, very slight, lol

And one other thing, your FB and the cloud need to be vector based images. You can see how they deteriorate when I change the sizes.

I think if i change the design of your example with another background instead of black and another text font, it could be pretty nice! good for inspiration

I tried to change the text size and the font size of my design
And it looks more neat now.

You could just pull the fb and soundcloud icons down to line up with Copenhagen. I suggest you make the other icons, the phone, globe, house, smaller. As for the text, adjust the letter spacing so the letters aren't squeezed on top of each other. Maybe use the size of the contact info from the second or a bit larger and keep the large size of the business above. Just my thoughts. I think you're going in the right direction. Mind the white space. The card should have space, maybe 30% around text and image should be blank, but half or more is too much - as you show in your second example.
