use a fuckin grid!... those designs are a mess.
- e-pill0
of all of them i like the bottom right the best but that is colour only, the font composition is the same on all of them and i feel its too small, even though you say its legible in front of you, there is too much negative space around the type that the viewer can lose interest in the art and forget who it is they need to call.
i hope that helps!
use bigger fonts!
your art is nice!:)

chz: what do you mean use a grid? these are printed on an A4 sheet with perforated edges (i bought it in japan, but i'm sure they're available elsewhere). this is the print sheet, sans the bleeds.
e-pill: thanks for the feedback. i appreciate articulated criticism.
uber-designer: i've never spun a disc for an audience other than my wife and a friend or two at the home. if anything i am an FJ

i can appreciate that you like small type - i do too - but this is way too small.
what is that.. 4.5 pt Helvetica?
- eficks0
I like em, dont listen to them! Leave the type small.
You dont want blind people reading them anyway!

6.18 for the large and 4.64 for the small. good eye.
- Jnr_Madison0
Ha ha, that is a good eye.

as for card designs, i don't mind the asymetrical look.. its obvious you're not trying to work onto any kind of grid, so angles are ok in my book.
i like the card with the white paint texture.. but not so much the arrows (even just lose the arrowhead)...
how about adding some vector shapes on that one?
- dystopiapop0
thanks everyone for lots of great comments! i'll keep everything in mind when i set out to do the next set (when i start to run out of these), and i'll be sure to post them again.
- horton0
huh? you asked for a crit after they've been printed?
what's up with that? next time please don't ask.
- dystopiapop0
yeah, i asked critique on these for the next series. i only printed two of each design. the idea is to use everyone's critique in the next series. again i will print and use them before i ask for critique. i dont see any reason why that is wrong.

love the cyan version. do 10 versions of that and you'll fnd it!
- fresnobob0
your cards suck.
- dystopiapop0
fresnobob: yeah... thanks? good critique... maybe try some polysyllabic words next time.
- dystopiapop0
forcetwelve: i've gotten lots of good response on the cyan one, so it will probably be a jumping-off point for the following ones. muchas gracias for the good words
