Right, I know this is suicide but I'd prefer to be humiliated on QBN than live in ignorance.
We're about to go to press with our business card designs, I've check the kerning as best I can but I'm shit at spotting subtle errors. Help is appreciated:PS. No, the card isn't just in pink, there are 3 colour versions - swatches above.
Most grateful to you. Ta.

from first glance
the triangle needs tracking in tighter and the circle doesnt look right in relation to the hexagon

my eyes just woke up and i dont have my glasses on ....
overall it's good, I would do half a space close between D and U in Duncan and see how that looks
Also lessen the full space between Silver and Walk by a tad

The main thing that bugs me is that the bottom margin is too small (the Graphic Designer line sits too low on the card)
In my mind the bottom margin should be the most generous of all. it should at least match the margin on the left side if now be slightly larger:
otherwise it feels like it's falling off the page.
Also not a massive fan of your range-right address info on the back

Cheers Baskitville, we've tried what you suggested and it looks much better. You can feel smug all afternoon now!

Check the kerning on your phone numbers. Try optical kerning and then manually check the 1's and 7's which will almost certainly need pulling in.

How many designers does it take to design a business card?

Thanks for the feedback chaps. Lots of these suggestions have made their way into the final card, I'll post the photos when we have them.
