    One thing I did like about the first one was that there was a little more negative space. It let the design breathe a bit.

    since you hadn't bought that domain name yet, I went ahead and bought it.

    it's for sale if you'd like to buy it... only:

    I like the last one you posted - the merged one

    Yeah, that's something I stress to my students over and over again. You need visual breathing room.

    In all seriousness, if you are planning your business around that domain name you should probably secure it, but you know that already.

    Design looks cool. What the business though. Sorry if a dumb question I just like to what the card is for if I find it in my desk a year later. Keep it simple I guess.
    Card looks cool though.

    I'll see what I can do. I'm usually pretty busy because, well, I'm kind of a big deal.


    Afflicted, I'm going to be doing media recovery (primarily VHS to DVD conversions and photo restoration). I also have a connection with a local realtor who would like me to start to video a few properties. I can see this going one of two ways. There IS a market for it, and I'm one of the only people in the area providing these services (actually, really THE only person) and I get a few steady side jobs (not going to get rich, that's for sure). Or, I could be misreading the market, and I only pick up a few jobs here and there. Either way, it's a way for me to get my feet wet a bit, so to speak, and see how I like it. I have three jobs lined up for sure (two video shoots and I'm in the process of a 30+ VHS backup project for a local lady right now), so there is SOME work to be had.

    Matt, sorry I'm slow getting back, and now I dont think both cards are up, but I do like this card design you have that blended them together.

    Did you have a bunch of business cards printed up yet? I just bought 41northmedia.com, .net, .info org and a bunch of other variants of that business name on Godaddy. I will sale them all to you for $1000.

    Ouch! :evilgrin:

    You better go get that domain name before someone like myself or the Rhino Group does! :p

    No problem, thanks for the input.

    Heckler, you're making me second guess my decision to announce a domain name prior to purchasing:D

    Backstrap, thanks, but I'm just good at pretending to know what I'm doing :D
