No it's not nasty, or Argos jewellery based...

It's just that, well, I just don't like the business card. Sorry Sara

No its fine, just tell me what you don't like, It the only way I learn, I don't have a degree in design or anything similar, infact I'm doing a computing solutions degree so any advice is always appreciated....

Oh right sorry - thought you were a designer.

I don't like the big 'ob' on the back. I don't like the head on the 'character'. Not really my cup of tea overall, but if you're not a designer it's not a bad attempt. If the chap likes it, and it's obviously been considered and everything, then it's all good. Nice red.

wouldn't say a degree helps too much mind, check out the degree vs talent thread.

oh and don't mind coops - he doesn't like anything.

Thank you for that its quite interesting, I once worked for a branding agency as an artworker and the CD told me he would never employ a designer that didn't have a degree.

Yeah he's right - everything's just so rubbish.

I don't have a degree either, but I have a design consultancy.

good job you've got a degree then!

datahound · 13-09-2007, 17:14

either would be nice.

Drewry · 13-09-2007, 17:32

I really like it you obviously put some good thought into this design and I think it holds up really well and achieves what it set out to achieve with out extra crap. Degrees mean nothing you are who you are.

Blonde girl posts design. Thread goes to 3 pages in a few hours.

You guys are nothing if not predictable.

I like the little 'R' guy on the card, but the 'o' and the 'b' execution not so much. The idea is nice, but I feel like they don't quite belong together. The only other thing that I'm slightly down on is that when you look at it (perhaps more so as a designer) you can sorta see a bunch of shapes you made to create the logo. I always think that something really effective diverts your mind away from how it was done. But that's maybe a little harsh - it's a good job, especially for someone self-taught. I'm pretty sure the client would be pleased.

So, which one are you Sara -the one on the left or the one on the right?

sarajs · 14-09-2007, 03:35

Hiya, thanks for the comments

Its always nice to have good indepth feed back with an explanation. So thank you very much.

I'm the one of the left adn the person on the right is my best friend, we were on our way to Cornwall and a 5 hour journey took 10 1/2

but it was so funny so not all too bad hehe hope all is well your side
