JP Business Card


This is a business card design that I did a while back. It is for Jeny Perl who sells a high end custom desinged jewelry collection. I used her logo (the "Jenny Perl for JMP in the box) as a starting point. The color was chosen based on the colors used in her other promo material

(hmm..nothing jumps. Plus it seems it'd be hard to read in low-light conditions..)

nothing is supposed to jump.
(not all design needs to jump, sometimes things just like to stroll)

I like it, I think it fits the "very classic, very jenny" as far as the typography, color.

The square bullet things are interesting. good interesting.

The only thing irking me that I have no solution to (which may not need a solution really) is that the two top bars are centered...

...Then the address lines have a centered align 'look' but are shifted to the left.

and then the list is completely left aligned.

and if you look at it altogether, they're all aligned to the same edge anyway, and I shouldn't care.. yet, something about that is bothering me...

:-/ I wish I could make sense.

(my head would be soo soo clear if you did my hw! :-D All you have to do is create 10 word/image posters using the word "community"! eh, eh??)

so that's what I couldn't put my finger on..in addition, the little b&w 'symbol' (the AGS thingy above Jenny Perl) should probably be below all the imprtant information, and not given such prominence..

Also, the serif font [used for the secondary type] seems too generic for such a 'whimsical' sort of card. POssibly go with something filled with more character next time..?

oh, and I do like the way the square is left unfilled next to the phone number; tehreby drawing your eye toward it straightaway.



(p.s. where's the new piece to critique for today??)

ugh. you people make me hate my work.
Do you have a design solution to the alignment issue? my thoughts are to enlarge the address so that it is flush with the logo boxes on both sides. that should fix it, right?

(SM - weeeell, I was going to do your homwork for you, but then you made fun of my typos/bad spelling so I changed my mind :)

(flor - I am getting lazy, I spent yesterday laying out page content for the celldrop site, and making little stupid Yellowbook ads, and i did not feel like looking for an old design to put up - but since you mentioned it...stay tuned)

Yes, good idea, justify the address under her logo. But is this still a wok-in-progress? (should we still be commenting?)

Enlarging and centering sounds like a good solution, yes.

(aww man. you're too late for that assignment now anyway. You can make up for it by buying my new mac. I'm wavering on the laptop/desktop issue here.)

Macbook Pro for SURE! (tho if you go with the mini, they just upgraded chips to Intel (and I think made it dual-processor too) so you're in luck
