I like design 7. It may just be on-screen, but I also think the original sans serif font is much clearer to read (and no, I don't have bad or old eyes!).
ReplyDeleteMy choice is design #4.
ReplyDeleteI love design 2 and I wonder what the card might look like with the text in a colour from the stool. I also like design 10. In examining these two, I am not distracted by the secondary faded pattern in the background under the text of some of the others. 10 features your name and art front and centre. Depends if you want people's eyes roving from left to right or centre first and then move around the card. Hope this helps in your deliberations.
ReplyDeleteI like design 2; I think it stands out more than the others.
ReplyDeleteI like design # 2 - #11 would be my second choice!
ReplyDeleteMy choice would be # 8 with the way you have put the repeat of the design in the background. I would make the font size a bit larger and black if possible, some of us "seniors" need extra help.
ReplyDeleteElaine, design #2 or #6. The red makes the card 'pop'. The one on black is a bit stark but both are good choices. I'd have a hard time choosing between the two. However, saying that, #2 stood out the first time I scrolled through the selections.
ReplyDeleteMy preference is design #2. It is professional looking and it has punch.
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is the most 'in your face'. #6 is less so but still striking.
ReplyDeleteI like 2 or 6. The business card's purpose is to get people attention and I find that the red of the stool does that more than the other cards. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, That is strange! I commented last night and it does not show up this morning. Darn that Invisible Ink!!! Anyway, B and I BOTH came up with the same choice, independently- number 9! We liked the colours and the layout and neither of us had trouble with the font, even with two sets of old eyes!
ReplyDeleteI will vote for design number 4!
ReplyDeleteI like #2 (I loved the original too and could still go with that, but the stool adds a good further contrast).
ReplyDeletelovely!

Elaine,
ReplyDeleteThough they are all lovely, I really like the first one. The simple contrast between the green and black conveys strength and confidence and the limited color palette gives it a sense of calmness and serenity. Very sleek and professional!
Josée
number 2, would be my first choice!
ReplyDeleteit just says "you"
I love #6 and #9. Like the layout.
ReplyDeleteA fan of #2 and #6 also...
ReplyDeleteI vote for #7 which is like #1 except on light background (diff font), but the colors and the art are the most important. I already own the book, so don't put me in the hat.
ReplyDeleteMartha Ginn
my vote is for #2. no hat for me either, thanks....
ReplyDeletegood luck getting a consensus, haha!
I like #4:)
ReplyDeleteDesign #6 is my favourite Elaine. I think the red stool shows the excitement in your work and I like the lighter background on this one.
