    This contest is for a business card design for an Online Marketing and Web Design Business. I want a professional design that utilizes the logo I'll provide. However, I am not looking for a standard generic business card design. I want something creative and eye catching. We are a marketing company and our business card must show that we know how to get attention. Feel free to get creative on the design and layout. I am open to both vertical and horizontal designs. The front and back of the card can have different designs and or layouts. Just make it look appealing and unique.

    Technical Details:
    Full color front and back: Card must be designed in a GotPrint.com business card template at 350DPI using CMYK colors. Make sure image meets all bleed and cut requirements of template.


    You Can Access all card text and logos here:
    http://digitallowdown.net/contest.txt

    Contest will run for at least 5 days. Winner will be announced and awarded the $40 contest fee.

    biruhato - Thanks for your entries. what are the dimensions of that first design? it looks longer and skinnier than any of the card templates Gotprint.com offers.

    Your second design is very nice, although I think on the front, the logo could be made/modified to fit in/look better. right now it just kind of looks stuck on there. also on the back could you maybe replace the #'s with a stylized bullet, not a simple dot but something nice.

    Chewysmom - thanks for your entry, but it does not match my criteria at all, you didn't even include the required text for front and back. Also the design itself looks like something from the vistaprint just-add-text online design tool.

    biruhato -looks pretty good. The way it looks now, is that the way it will print? or is that just a lighting effect you used?

    DrZap - Thanks for your entry. I'm not really digging the back side, its not very compelling to push the special report. also can I see a close up of the front, so I can see the text better

    ruizelfiero - Thanks for your entries. I'm not a fan of design 2, its a little to plain and ordinary. definitely like design 1 though. like the 3d effect with the services going into the card. On the back, its a little plain, can we spice it up a bit or draw more emphasis to the URL.

    To All Designers = the designs coming in are all good, and while I like the blue, don't feel married to that color alone, I am open to other colors.

    Also one idea was a all black card except for the important info showing...theres gotta be some way to make a cool card out of that.

    Also don't be afraid to chop up/edit the logo a bit if needed.
