Quick opinion on business card design

Somehow this fails to address what you quoted.

Put Lessons accross the top of the top one

The 8-ball and the 9-ball show (more clearly) what lessons he is providing.

again...ditch the yellow stripe...just use yellow text that matches the 9-ball stripe.

So back to the basic question regarding which direction to go in, I'm afraid that the 2nd one might come off as a little pretentious. I mean, these are pool players after all. I wonder (fear?) that the top one might be a little better given the audience.

Personally I like the bottom one much much more. But will people pay attention or respond to it?

I personally think the bottom direction will look more professional than it would pretentious. I mean, its pool and really a business card in general is a little much for most instructors. (like putting whip cream on a hotdog) So really anything with a name and phone number will work and the persons name and rep are the selling point anyway. Either card will get the point across, but as far as design.... the bottom is my choice.

Graphically, I prefer the one on the bottom, but it's ambiguous. There's no doubt what the top one is selling.

On the top one, you might consider aligning all three lines of type so that they're flush left.

I like the Top Design.:)

It did...I just did not word it very clear...my bad...:o

I believe people will pay attention and respond to either one..

I was just trying to state that the top one may grab thier attention "better" than the bottom one...(because it more clearly defines the type of lessons being offered via the 9-ball & 8-ball).....

Although a seasoned pool player would associate the second one with pool lessons...the graphic does not clearly define pool in the graphic...To some it could just be an elaborate corporate logo...(JMO)

If you were to use the second graphic...I would suggest adding Pool or Billiards in front of the word Lessons....Again (JMO)

I'm doing some quick business cards for a friend, and need to figure which direction to go. I did a couple quick designs and wanted a little feedback which you guys like better. Just a quick word or two (thumbs up, thumbs down) is fine.

I like the 2nd one... It teaches and shows the first lesson in pool.."That is how NOT to rack if you're playing against a big scary dude." :eek:

Definitely the top one and like another posters said, move George's name up a skosh.

Cards

The first one catches the eye better (the way the 9 and 8 are situated, with the 8 on the 8 ball being to the side).

Raise 'George G', make it a larger size, and add a 2nd line below saying, 'is the man'.

'Lessons' needs to be a size smaller. Center align lessons below George G and is the man. Center align the phone number.
