$50 Business Cards Design - 24 hours

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by camt, Sep 29, 2009.

  1. #1
    Project Overview:
    I need business cards designed for a company. I hope to have this done quick and chose a winner in 24 hours.

    Link to logo to be used for this project

    Design Style:
    The style should be clean, curvy, and simplistic. 2" x 4.5" business cards (with bleeds), looking to have finished with a matte laminate finish, maybe rounded corners. No transparencies, odd shapes, tear-outs or anything like that -- just standard 2" x 4.5" (and maybe rounded corners).

    Just add sample information to the cards for now. Full contact information will be provided to the winner to be added to the final design upon payment.

    Sample Designs:
    Here are some sample business card designs that the client likes (please ignore any transparencies, odd shapes, tear-outs or things like that, these samples should be viewed for design style, colours, layout, etc. only to be used for inspiration):
    link1
    link2
    link3
    link4
    link5

    Deadline: 24 hours
    Feedback will be quick! Let's hopefully have a winner selected and paid in 24 hours.
    (we reserve the right to change the contest deadline if necessary, we will extend the deadline if more time is needed)

    Payment: $50 USD via PayPal
    (please notify me in advance if you need an alternate to PayPal)

    Contest Deliverables:
    1. Design a business card
    2. Supply all source files & source materials (photos, images, fonts, etc.)
    3. Must meet these guidelines (note file format, bleeds & colours)
    notes: design must be in vector format, scalable to any size, and suitable for print


    ---------------
    Terms:
    By accepting payment you agree to the following terms: this competition is being run as a contractual job through my company and you are working as a subcontractor. Your works will be re-sold to my client(s). All fully editable source files with fonts and sources for all photos and images (if applicable) must be transferred to me. The winner cannot re-sell any works, modified or unmodified, designed for this competition. You may not contact my client(s) directly for any reason. All work produced must be 100% original by you. If any source materials (photos, images, fonts, etc.) are used that are not royalty free, you are responsible for all fees. We will pay additional fees for source materials of winning competitions only if we pre-approve these contests BEFORE the contest deadline.

    ** If you have a problem with the terms please notify me before submitting an entry to try and workout another arrangement if necessary
    ---------------

    Thanks to everyone in advance and good luck with the competition!

    Actually you can make a high res psd and then make that a AI file by using it as an EPS.

    WOW! Great entries so far, I am very impressed! Here is individual feedback:

    ilan1990 - LOVE IT! You really made a great design here! If it's not too much trouble, I would like to see the following: back (dark side) maybe tone the dark down a bit to create more contrast between the logo and background, and then move the Fabulous Design in so it's 1/4" by 1/4" off both sides in case the corners of the card are rounded. front: can you layout the same name, and some info to help visualize?

    Mastermaniac - thanks for the submission but that won't work...it's not up to par with the quality of the other designs. no changes needed.

    RaPeRbOy - interesting concept and the next/back is a nice touch....but there are 2-3 other designs that I think are better for the clients needs. thanks for your submission.

    xiaeron - design style is nice as well. I like the overall concept, but there are 2-3 other designs that I think are better for the clients needs. thanks for your submission.

    chemicalinck - fantastic. great design! It looks like that on the back the logo is scewed a bit, can you keep it at it's proper proportion? On the front side, could you make the fonts a bit larger as well, they are hard to read when they are that small (from a design standpoint the small print is great, but I want to make sure that it is functional as well).

    PS. Thanks for clarifying hygoboy's question. Yes the logo is provided in PSD but it should still be vector and scalable.

    MohammadHaja - fantastic! I love this design as well. I think the only change reqest would be if I can see 2 new versions of the front side (the side with content). 1) with keeping the logo (and company name) intact - so not just the emblem but ad the company name. and I think that might make it too clutered, so the 2) would be to show the front side without the logo/emblem. thank you.

    ilan1990, chemicalinck & MohammadHaja - you are all in the top 3 and after these revisions I hope to chose a winner from one of you (unless there is another suitable submission).

    I would also ask if you are interested in a bonus $20 to layout the letterhead and envelopes for this design competition as well. No samples needed for the competition, I would just needed layotus of suitable quality and a matching design style to be provided by the winner only.

    MohammadHaja - thank you, this looks great. no changes needed.

    you_love_me44 - thanks for the submission, but the 3 top ones right now are preferred.

    ilan1990 - thanks for the edits. I like the 1st version better. Do you think you could try a layout with full contact details (company name and office address included)? Also maybe another one where you add a bit more colour or the colour bar to the front of the card also. thanks.

    jokomamamita - thanks for the submission, but the 3 top ones right now are preferred.
