check your notes :P

Bitch please this is not related to my business card. I cry now.

Only thing I can say is capitalise both S in Spaeclepup Studeo but then I'm not as artsy as you x

That's adorable! :D

Crit:

* The colour scheme works very well with your character.
* You may want to make your business name a little bigger for further emphasis
* Possibly make the text a little darker to make it stand out and more legible
* Reduce the opacity of the 'faded' background copy of the character just a tiny bit more, 5% or so

Brilliant work! :D

THIS is EXACTLY the kind of crit everyone in the world should give. Constructive, reasoned, positive. You are an angel, and these are all the things that I was pondering myself and needed a second opinion on :) THANK YOU

Hehe, you are most welcome Taya, I hope it's useful :3

And also add details such as portfolio address and preferred email! How else are your clients going to contact you! ;3

Already said in comments that this info will be on the other side ;)

Herp de derp, sorry about that |D

i think the title could possiblly go to the top left and give more info on the left, and also the text could be a little clearer, but otherwsie good!

That was my original composition and it looked very forced and unbalanced. I felt the eye was drawn in more when the text lined up with the drawing as opposed to the side of the card. I think I might have actually uploaded the larger version however, which does have a bit of a trim margin on it so it will be slightly closer to the left.

the title seems too squished againsts the nose, so would need either above to below to to the left

i really like it,

my opinion is to lighten the background, fade it out a little so that the character and the writing stand out a lot more ^^
The heading, i would prefer it to appear a bit more seperate from the artist description, move it further up, possibly a darker shade of blue .

tis my thoughts anyay.

Thank you, I think you and Zaru are definitely right about making the title more of a separate piece of text. I might have a look at either designing my own font/logo or using a different (complimentary) font for it as well so it's not just another piece of text on the card, what do you think?

imho i wouldnt make it a different font to the sub headings, i think, making it bolder or bigger will work,
I like the idea of you using a logo alongside it.

The text just needs re arranging, maybe make a few variations and put them next to each other :)

That's always a good plan, trying out a few variations. I shall do that next :)

good luck with it all :3

As a graphic designer I will look at this and would say it has a few things wrong..First thing is the Title Font..you want something bold and strong I realize you may think this font is cute (and I agree) but on a business perspective it is ineffective..its not eye catching enough..you want some bold and big not lower case..and your listings should be a nuetral font because you want to focus on your business name so people remember you. you are lacking a logo..your signature as a buisness will always be your signature..having a piece of art on there..brilliant idea. I love it and it sets the tone of your business with it. It screams artist which is amazing and a lot of people skip when they design business cards. At the very bottom is a small nuetral font in black I would put your information..a name, address, and contact number..those are your three most important pieces of information..from there they can contact you and you can refer them here for examples of your artwork. Over all the design is nice..just a few composition problems is all..nothing that can't be fixed. Good luck hun

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, and I agree totally with what you're saying. Sometimes it just takes someone else to say it for you to notice. The lower case thing has really been bugging me, I'm probably going to create my own typography for the business name as it's then more personal and I can create the "cute yet professional" look I'm going for. These cards are exclusively going to furries and as my target audience do tend to steer towards the adorable animal thing I think I can get away with some degree of cute in my type face.

The important stuff will be on the other side, although I agree it may be useful to have it on both sides, even if it's just my main email for example on the bottom of this side then my other contact details and URLs etc. on the back.

hhaaha I meant to put your signature for your business is your logo lol..its what people will remember..just like nike and the check mark..um yeah lol Using your own typography maybe the way to go..it will give it a more personal touch. good luck

Cute X3c I'm useless at crit, I think it's perfect lol.

The Taya and background colouring is fine.
all I'd do is darken the text a bit.

The "faded" Taya at the back is a nice touch, have you tried it without the piece at the back?
it'll probably make a lot of blank space, but it's just something to try I guess.

Otherwise, perfection

Also, you make characters?

Why do you think I have so many? XD
It's also a role in the special effects industry, it refers to the people who make costumes, prosthetics, that kind of thing. That's what I do :)

Composition wise I would think about the layout of the text: the title is squished against the image, and there's a lot of empty space. Maybe fit the text to the pic a bit better. Moving it down slightly ought to do it, so that the "artist" bit is level with your paw there :P

Little more legibility would help, but that's been mentioned :)

Love the card, the image on the right looks perfectly proportioned but the text needs a little work. I'd increase the size of your name to make it stand out from the rest, also some of the white lines on the letters are making parts of it hard to read. (I had to look at the a of artist a few times to work out what it was) and also the splats of paint look a little too much like blood, rounding the sharp edges of them should correct that. On the whole a very good first draft :)

Font is a little too silly.

This could just be me though... ;-;

All else is great though <3

Contact deets are a must! also, I really think a simple white background would look really nice. The purple seems to blend in too much with Taya and the font making it quite difficult to read. A lighter colour, maybe? Hope that helps, I'm sure the end result will be GAWJUS
