| Geri Jarra 27.11.2013 | Business cards really help. Where I'm from I still see my cards from 2 years ago floating around in peoples wallets. Make something you wont hate yourself for years down the road, so keep it simple. The logo on the front looks good, but the back is way too cluttered and generic. That Pio pic is my google chrome background so the second I saw it I was turned off. I also realized when I made mine the first time that it costs so much more to have a 2 sided card, and if you can easily fit everything on one side it actually makes it more user friendly. My first ones (which I can't find a picture of atm) was very simple - Black and white, one sided with a logo, phone number and soundcloud. Super cheap and clean and anyone who sees one automatically knows its mine. Hope this helps. Edit: Found a copy of my old business card - I'm sure some people will say it's crap, but it worked great for me and I got a lot of positive feedback from my market, which are mostly non-DJ's Attachment 20833 |

If you absolutely have to have a graphic element on it, put a small version of your logo in a corner. |

| Judi Sissel 27.11.2013 | I agree with most here. Lose the picture on the back. I personally believe it be pretty classy to see the back side to have the same layout (font and info) with the colors reversed. Black background with Yellow font. BOOM! Done!.... Edit: Also, try and find a circular icon for the Soundcloud icon... for flow and OCD sake |

| Orval Locascio 26.11.2013 | I'm in Ad/web/commercial design professionally...don't waste money printing that. Less is more bro. If you want to PM me I'm happy to help you out with the layout and also with what stock, finish and weight you should print at. |

| Maryam Fevold 26.11.2013 | You also gotta believe how this is going to look on a small business card. Sure, on the computer screen at that resolution, it's at least readable. When you get those things printed out, it's gonna look like a mess. |

| Evie Baghdasarian 27.11.2013 | The back is way to busy, and amateur looking. Needs to be cleaned up and streamlined. |
| Hellen Mindrup 27.11.2013 | I would prefer no pictures of gear on a card. Do you plan on being amobile DJ? Or why do you plan on making these? |

| Lawana Mileto 26.11.2013 | Front isn't too bad, but the back looks awful! Just keep the back clean, you don't need that pick or the shit behind it. |
