Is the new business card killer?

RawAlex · 07-23-2004

I trust hotmail - but I would never put a hotmail address on a business card. That is the equivilant of your mailing address being "table 3 at denny's".

The colors do not compliment each other, and in a four color printing process, the cards would not look good. I see more web people using big fonts for information on cars, making it hard to read and adding clutter to the card.

My suggestion? move the horizon of the sunrise / sunset up a little more, get yourself some more blue area. Darken the blue area some... perhpas even fade it to black at the bottom of the card. You can put much more information and use a smaller font on black and still have the info be clear.

Search google for "color wheel" and "complimentary colors", that will help you get the fonts into decent colors and be more clear.
