Default I need help!

So I am finally ordering myself new business cards because my phone number changed. I decided I am going to order a new card this time and I can't make up my mind!

http://saltypickles.com/final-cards.gif

I want to hear everything you have to say! I love the top ones, the pink, but can't decided that one I like better! The other colours are nice too. So let me know! I can change text postion, size, color, and font face. So if you like one but think the text should be purple or something (the the one on the bottom right) let me know!!!

Thanks

I myself like the one on the top left...the one with the pink. I think they're best with the solid color bar on em no matter what color you go with. hth

I'd go with top right. I think the color-blocking of the ones on the left is a bit stiff. The ones on the right seem to have a bit more flow and balance.

I like the "punch" of the color on top right, too. The blue seemed a bit too serene and the purple at bottom seemed a little washed out. The pinkish one up top has some power to it, softened bu the bigger, but far lighter image on the left-hand side of the card.

I like the top left and bottom left, just because pink and purple are my favorite colors...they're all pretty though!

What is your target market? With the colors & images, they're all ultra-feminine. For that reason, I'd go with the middle-right because I think it has a broader appeal than the others.

I am a web developer. So you are right in the sense that they are ultra-feminine but I kinda wanted that... not sure why. I guess because it is a personal business card and I am girly? haha

I like the styles on the left best, but I think I prefer the purple one.

No... but I could order 250 of one and 250 of the other. lol
They are cheap, but the last batch of cards I had made.... I used maybe 30 and most went to family memebers. I am not into free lance work because of this one guy I tried to make a page for... I won't even get into it. I just like to have them JUST IN CASE. I do video work sometimes and I like to include them in invoices and such. I also want to do a page for my local fish tank store (I go there lots) - I want to see if I can work a deal for a new tank! haha - I guess in that case it doesn't really matter if they are TOO girly? I really like the top right but I am thinking middle right is the way to go so it is not as girly?

I like the top right. It professional with a simple elegance. I hope no one takes offense to this but I think the ones on the right will appeal to a group more likely to be interested in web development.

I agree with you on that because they are more "creative" the ones on the left seem to be very business card like while the ones are the right have a bit of a different style.

However - the ones of the left have more colour and are not so white. I am still pretty sure I am going to order the one on the top right.

Have you ever tried running your own business cards? Since you don't use that many of them, you could print your own much more cheaply. However, you should also start thinking of ways to use up the batches that you buy. Take some card holders to some businesses and ask if you can display your cards there.
