[Project Complete] Due Sept 15th - Double Sided Business Card - $100.00

[AspDotNetGuy]

Admin code added by Abby - 1E928761JV6315456

I am looking for a double sided full color business card for PowerSportBuyer.
The focus of the site is to allow visitors to buy and sell power sport vehicles such as dirtbikes, quads, atvs, etc.

The card will be used as a flyer not a business card. I plan on taking it to dealerships, races, and other places and handing them out.

Reason being
a) they are easy to hand out / post on dealer bulletin boards etc
b) they are cheap to print


I would like it to be very professional and really eye catching. There should be no doubt about the fact the card is for something related to powersports after a quick glance.

I will use an online service such as: http://www.overnightprints.com/ to print the cards.

My goal is to get them into the hands of everyone who might potentially be selling or buying an ATV, Boat, etc.

I would like this to be finished on 9/15 or earlier.

I would like the following to be on the front:
Logo
PowerSportBuyer.com (it must be clear that this is where they go to list a vehicle)
Buy and Sell Bikes, Boats, Atvs, Snowmobiles, and more…

On the back:
Something like "Enter promo code: Free06 for a free listing on powersportbuyer.com

There is an option to round the corners at overnightprints.com if you think that would look good: http://www.overnightprints.com/?A=cut_corners2

Here is some info on printing: http://www.overnightprints.com/main.php?A=specs

What else, oh if I can manage to get the site popular/busy, I may put an advertisement as a flyer in newspapers or mail postcards maybe the design can be used on a postcard layout too? Comments?

Thanks I look forward to seeing some work.

Thanks for posting the project. Do you have a logo or graphics you want to use?

[AspDotNetGuy]

No, nothing in mind, not sure what I am looking for, you have total creative freedom.

You going to submit somthing?

:yes:

[Patel]

Would this be correct? The size of the card remain the same size as a business card 3.5 x 2?

Thanks,
Shima

[AspDotNetGuy]

Yes. Sorry for the confusion. What I was getting at is that in the future I may want to print something larger if budger permits.

[Patel]

Thanks for the reply :)

[AspDotNetGuy]

are you going to submit? :D

[Patel]

You might want to start a logo project first. Once your logo is done you will have one. This is up to you of course :)

Thanks,
Shima

[AspDotNetGuy]

I really don't have the budget.

Hmm, I guess Ill go without a Logo then.

[OffbeatDesign]

Here's a first stab. Let me know what you think.

[AspDotNetGuy]

I don't hate it, but I am not in love with it either. It is definitely eye catching.

I do like a lot of the design in this thread: http://www.designoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11155

[OffbeatDesign]

Which post number were you referring to in that thread? Are you looking for something more graphic and less PHOTOgraphic? Do the images represent what you're doing?

[AspDotNetGuy]

I liked a lot of them as I thought they looked very professional.

Frans was really good, I liked NHRs and Shimas as well.

The images are very representive of what I am doing. Your cards says what it has to say very well. There is just something I am not crazy about, maybe its the font? I don't know.

I am not sure if I want somthing less photographic?

I forgot that I had this logo designed a while ago. Doesn't have to be used but here it is.

[OffbeatDesign]

I was trying to go for more of the "flyer" look than a business card. Here's something that's more conservative while still going for the flyer look. If you like this look I would develop the other side.

Some more ideas to follow.

[OffbeatDesign]

Here's one in between.

Also, the logo file didn't upload. Can you resend it?

Thanks.

[OffbeatDesign]

Another one with a sleeker look.

[AspDotNetGuy]

Sorry for the delayed response. Had a few issues that kept me really busy for the past few days.

So far I prefer the first and last ones.

Here is the Logo. Trouble with the logo is that it doesn't .COM on it.

[AspDotNetGuy]

Anyone else interested?

[OffbeatDesign]

I can adapt any of the designs to include the provided logo if you have it in an EPS format. The file you supplied is too low in resolution to print. If you have the EPS I can add the ".com" to it. It can also be recreated if necessary.

[martellostudio]

Hello,

Here an idea from me.

Thanks,

Vic

[OffbeatDesign]

Here's the second design using the same font in your logotype. I think that the original had more impact. Maybe we can add the logo on the back?

[martellostudio]

Here's another one from me.

Thanks,
Vic

Just checking in to see if you wanted to see anything else.

[AspDotNetGuy]

Okay sorry guys, had to pull myself away from this for a few days.

Comments coming in another thread.

[AspDotNetGuy]

OffBeat, I like you first and fourth design the best so far. I really like the postcard you did for weight loss in another recent thread.

Fran yous isn't bad either. Don't love it, don't hate it. Can you show me some more variations?

Martecello, I like the back of you card, I am not crazy about the little icons on the fron though. Can I see some varitions of the front and back?

[martellostudio]

Here's a new one from me...

Thanks,
Vic

[OffbeatDesign]

Here's the first design using typestyles from the postcard design you liked.

[AspDotNetGuy]

Martello I really like your last design.

It looks like some of the images are sized a little small can you try

A: Putting a 1 or 2px border around each of the images (whatever you think looks best)
B: Making sure there is no border around any of the images

Thanks so much.

[AspDotNetGuy]

By the way I like Martello's design so much because I find it looks clean, and professional, but explains what my site is all about if that makes sense.

Just in case anyone else wants to design some more. :D

[martellostudio]

Glad to hear you like my latest design... Here are the changes you requested... White and Grey Keyline around images...

Thanks,
Vic

[AspDotNetGuy]

Hi Martello,

I think I like the white Key line the best.

Can you change Atvs to ATVs?

If noone else is going to take another stab it I think your the guy.

Thanks,

Lyndon
