Title: Anyone pretty good with making business cards?
Post by: makenzie71 on April 24, 2007, 06:24:35 PM
My fiance is in a portfolio class and she's having a problem putting together a business card that her teacher is happy with.  If anyone's good with layouts it'd be greatly appreciated.

The cards need to have "photographer" on them, an email address, a website, a name, and a phone number

Her teacher says the cards have to be simple so bright colors and stuff like that are a no...and there can NOT be a camera on the card.

Again, help is greatly appreciated.  I'll try to get some of her cards she's already made up so you guys can see what she's been working on.

That's one of the ones she's already done that her teacher said was the best she had, but it still needed work, like a different logo in the corner or something.  But she doesn't really like this one.

she can't really do templates and stuff.

Her biggest problem is coming up with a logo for "Kalee's Photography".

Any yeah, basically, her homework.  I don't mind with this shaZam! because it's 100% pointless and nothing she'll ever need...plus the teachers guidelines for the cards are ridiculous.

I recommend Bone with Cyrillian Braille lettering.
