I wonder how it would look if it read (Esthetique Detailing)
Instead of
Esthetique Auto
Montreal Car Detailing
So right off the bat you knew right away it was Detailing, and what you did/do
The colors look beautiful and the design is great btw
Just my opinion, please take my criticism lightly
Thing is, Esthétique Auto Montréal is the name of the company. I added car detailing for englsih customers. We live in a truely bilingual town here in Montréal so both French and English needs to be present if we don't want to loose 50% of the business.
thats a real nice business card! now, combining 2 topics, why don't you use this design for your website, the car from the verso as background, faded at 60% or something like that? it's nice, simple and looks real good
Nah, background is not faded at all. Well, left side is a little, I did not want a clean break so I used a fading gradiant to merge it to black where the image ends on the left side. But the car itself is 100% opacity.
For my website I will start working on adding images once all the concept is in place. I really have no idea what I will put in but that sounds like a good idea to use the same kind of design as my business cards. Thanks for the idea, I will definatelly try it.
I designed about 30 different cards in the beginning. A friend of mine works for high end fashion and design people and she said also to keep it simple. Don't use shadows, stroke etc when using photoshop and stick to basic colors.
For the card itself I went matte and did spot uv for my logo so it has some shine and pop. The added benefit is I can write and sign the back for my referral program. This is what I ended up going with.
Some think the back is too busy but I wanted a referral program I could sell on spot and this is how I do it.
Sorry for the double post, something went wrong there.
I mentioned no shadows as well but for the back of my design the shadows made the text more visible. In a design world I didn't do it "perfect" but at the end of the day you have to be happy with what you are going to have representing you.
I paid $65 for 1000 cards in 16pt matte, color both sides and spot uv on both sides.

I liked this card, I read the whole card throughout.
