What do y'all think of my business card? Is this sufficient?

I just finished making my business cards. I had such a hard time picking the size of my font... it either looked too big or too small to me... what do you guys think? Do you think it will be easy to read on an actual business card?
**** UPDATED 8/23/11 PLEASE LOOK AT END OF THE THREAD, THANK YOU*****


It's so hard for me to tell from the template. Is the information I have on there sufficient?

Is it too busy, not busy enough? I plan on changing the images at the bottom once I have some better designs painted.

the front



the back

Lookin' good!! I just LOVE the back of your card!!

I think it wont be too hard to read at all!

oh crap I just noticed a spelling error on the back >_<

Thanks Inca!!

OKie I corrected 'RISE' to 'RINSE' on the back. If anybody else notices an error please let me know thanks!!

I like the back!

Typo - step 3 - "rinse" not "rise"

Maybe something about lingering colours?

I would either italicize or add quotation marks around "painted by Bunny's" otherwise it sounds weird grammatically (maybe that's just me?)

Front:

I think it's too busy. Where did you get this template? It doesn't look like it would equal a 3.5X2 business card - looks too long

Maybe change your web address to white as well - I can see that being hard to read when smaller.

The photos on the bottom are already small, so imagine how small they would be on an actual business card. Pick one or two that you feel best showcase your work and make them bigger, IMO.

Best way I've found is to make it actual size on your screen and see how easy it is to read etc like that. I sometimes then print it off at actual size and check with whoever happens to be around to see if they find it legible.

Good work!

THanks for all the helpful tips! I wanted to keep the back pretty simple, can you think of something short and sweet for lingering colors?

I got the template from GotPrint.com, however after I saw your comment about it I went and checked my image size and it's changed from when I first started drawing it up.... I have no idea how.... >_< oooh boy not good!


I don't really have a photo or two that would work in that space in the left.....any suggestions on how where to place those few photos?

THANKS SO MUCH!!! I'm gonna make the other changes right now So glad I posted this here before I printed :O)

The large circle on the right seems out of place. I'd just make the photos you have fewer and bigger.

Just as a side note - you might want to make your removal instructions smaller and put in something about the types of events you do....
I know people pick up my card all the time and turn it over and go " OH weddings! I never thought of that what a good idea - my sisters wedding is coming up in two months"... or something to that effect.....

I also put "mild soap" instead of baby shampoo as my daughter gets a skin reaction to baby shampoo.... ( of all things) I"m sure it's not common so I wouldn't worry to much about it.

I think it's great just as it is though.... well done!

What about changing the front slightly so the squares go right across the bottom and getting rid of the tiger in the circle... maybe strectching them some of them back out so they don't look like they have been just squashed in there....??

Sorry it took me so long to respond to all of y'alls advice! After hearing what everybody had to say I've remade them ( hopefully in the right format/shape ) to reflect y'alls advice. What do you think ? Are there any spelling errors?? I decided to keep baby shampoo instead of mild soap because I would have had to re-do the entire thing since I had already flattened the layer >_<

I think it is important to put "BABY SHOWERS" or whatever you call your belly painting.

OH YEAH!!!!!!! How could I forget.?? THANK YOU!

Here's the card with 'Baby Showers' added to it

I call them "Prenatal 'Bump' Painting"... it's just so fun to say...

I really like the revised version, I just think "Face painting & FX" and your web address should be in white because the black will be hard to see against all of the colors. Other than it it looks great.

I agree the balck on the front is too hard to read. I would move your logo up and make the pictures bigger. That is what people want to see. Your work.
