Rough draft if anyone cares.

Anyone have suggestions for changes? The logo (a WIP) will be foiled when made so it will have a shine to it. The card itself will have the roughish texture hopefully (need to contact the printing company about their textured cards). Colors are approximate but generally what I am aiming for. I may see if they have other foil colors such as red or blue.

I don't know what font I should attempt to use. I also don't quite like the right side of the back of the card displaying information. I think it could be organized a little better or differently to make it a bit more appealing.

I am just attempting to create the concept so when I go to their in house designer they won't need to sit down and go through many drafts trying to get something I like. Should save both our time and money.

depending on your font 99% of what you choose with that font size is way too small for print.

also printing white ink is expensive

If you're printing black and the white is knockout that's a waste of ink and your knockout is way too small you're going to run into bleeding ink problems

also that does not look for the proportions of business card

its 2" x 3.5"

also the logo looks weird why are there beveled corners while theres sharp corners that exist
Theres also problems with type hierarchy why are you hiding the contact info
Theres no need for a margin line if your type is creating that line for you
Logo is supposed to pop that silver does not work on that choice of paper
Also be wary of foil errors during print so ask for samples before you do bulk

I used moo for my business cards they have this triple layer card where you can get certain colors in the middle layer
they call it luxe

Okay this can be an easy fix.



Price isn't a matter for me.



I haven't talked to the printers in person yet, but from what they've told me is that they have different colors of card stock apparently.



This is just a mock up for the designer of how I would like the final product to resemble. As you pointed out there are far more problems than just size.

The reasoning for the mock up is because I don't know how they do their foil and what formats they need the file in for printing.



That was my bad, I don't know how the bevel got introduced since I did not use any of those kind of blending options, the logo will not have any emboss/bevel.



Thanks for this info here. I will try to revamp the design and check out moo.

I think overall I will need to just go into the local print shop and be like "hey I want this logo on this card in these colors and make it look like this".

What kind of foil errors are there and what do they look like generally? Are they easy to spot like just bad shaping or other problems?

Thanks again for the advice.

if it looks like its peeling

or edges are wonky is what you should check for.

friend of mine had her business cards with gold foil for her logo (which was hand type) it is really easy to fuck up luckily the print company understood and did free redos

white ink is usually not available in alot of places that does gravure or offset and if they do its really expensive and dumb to do for business cards

did harambe die for nothing?

Yo gfx peeps how did I reverse-search fonts again? Anything else than whatthefont?

yes

yay go go go

T4t m8, couldn't find it from any of those though. Some were pretty close but still not the exact same. Pretty weird.
