Not even 12 hours have passed since the start of this thread. Design, especially for flyers and Bcards take time as there is a lot of text involved. designers usually go back and read the brief many times so as to not miss anything. Also keep in mind that people may be working on something else at the time and may not be able to reply with a design when they first see a request!

Please be patient

Regarding price, IMHO - $10 may be a little low, if you want a good and quick response.

Hope this helps

Do you have the resolution that the card will be printed at. It's usually in Pixel/inch or something like that. Does it need to be in Paint shop Pro format? A fairly large number of people here don't have it (I for one).

**universifier** · 06-15-2008, 08:56 AM

Do you have a .png or .psd of the logo?
As it has a gradient in its current jpg format, it will be difficult to add it to anything other than a white B/G.

**Gx3 Grafix** · 12:17 PM

Print graphics should be done at 300 dpi in CMYK color mode.

Here is a design spec from express copy -
Businesscard.png

I don't have paint shop pro either

Also, the print company I use prefers .eps or .pdf files. .tiff in lieu of .jpeg which is included in the .eps file.

fyi to designers *Some print companies need files saved down to a later version i.e. 8. to be able to open it.

Are you printing these yourself or having them printed?

Also, do you want a one sided business card or a two-sided one? That's a LOT of info for one side xD

**The Real Me** · 02:26 PM

Gx3 Grafix posted some good info.

I will be having the cards printed.

I would like the card 2 sided. I didnt mean to put PSP. You can design it in photoshop, thats fine.

Here is all my logos, Maybe you can find one that will work better for you. The logo and its font is (tm) so please dont use it for any other projects.

Yeah those helped, a lot! Here's my entry

**The Real Me** · 06-15-2008, 06:20 PM

woahhhhhhhhh peachyyyyyyyyy thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

**PeachyJuice** · 06-15-2008, 07:48 PM

Thanks =) It would probably look really good if you had a satin type card and shiny ink xD Then again I'm into that whole 'cool-looking' style with shiny and smooth. It's probably more expensive too (haven't done anything with printing cards in a while)

**The Real Me** · 12:11 AM

Peachy you rock girl. I need to just hire you with OWP. If we have any clients that need anything (graphics / webdesign) I can give you the projects. I already hired Suj also, but a PR firm can never have 2 many designers!!!

**PeachyJuice** · 06-15-2008, 10:14 PM

That would just be awesome xD I need to make my portfolio bigger x.x

So is that all the feedback? Lol.

**Ryan ™** · 06-16-2008, 12:23 AM

Here's mine!

**The Real Me** · 06-16-2008, 12:42 AM

Sorry Ryan, I need something more advanced and eye catching like Peachy. Give it another go if you wish!

Please don't even try to call that advanced. I understand that you like it more, but that is in no way advanced when it comes to Photoshop. I find that very insulting.

My submission wasn't that good mostly because of your logo, I honestly thought I couldn't do anything with it. I'm not a noobie at Photoshop as you can see on my deviantART portfolio.

I apologize to Peachy if insulted you in the process of defending myself.

**PeachyJuice** · 06-16-2008, 10:40 AM

No insult taken =) I like doing simple things when it comes to logos/cards. I think that makes them look more professional.

**jackieh1791** · 06-16-2008, 02:35 PM

I'll be submitting a design for you by tonight.

**The Real Me** · 04:16 PM

WOAHHHHHHHHHHHH RYAN! LOL.... I didnt mean any harm.... and whats wrong with my logo!?!? LOL

EDIT: The design needs to be in .jpg and have a 1/8 inch bleed all around. The resolution needs to be 300.
