New business card

Since I can't find the box of business cards I used to have in my studio, I've been messing with a new design.

Opinions?

First, a slightly weathered version:



And here, with no extra weathering.



And here's an option for the back... with fake articles around the border. Hmm.



I feel like I'm treading the border of, "too much".

Personally, I like the middle option without the weathering or fake articles. But all of them are very nice.

And here's a super streamlined version, more like my old business card.

Aaaaand...here's what I went with.

FRONT: Un-weathered. Printed with a Spot UV coating so that only the logo is glossy! (COOL!)

BACK: Slightly weathered. I toned the surrounding articles way down. All matte finish back here.

I love me a spot gloss. I like the option you went with. It's a bit lacking without the fake ad bits. Nice. What printer are you using?

I've always used OvernightPrints.com. The spot UV is free, and they had a sale. When all was said and done I got 1000 cards for about $42.

Aces. You can't go wrong with an old-style sho'card look.
