The tracking on DURHAM DBT, INC. is so that the first line is blocked with the second. It's a little tracked out on my site but not that much. I'm generally not a fan of centered alignment so I prefer the blocking but it is a little too tracked out. Short of using a smaller font size on the second line, I'm not sure what I can do.
I'll try the darker orange on the font and see how that looks. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |

Of course, blue/orange palettes really are everywhere -- AT&T, ING, Sunny D. It's pretty much the definitive palette of Web 2.0, but that doesn't make it bad (again, Seattle Children's is the Most Triumphant Example here). If you really like it, go for it -- it's not mind-blowingly original, but you won't scare people away or anything. WRT the current card design, I'd worry that the text on the bottom will be too small when printed on an actual business card. EDIT: Jesus, Paul beat me to it, by like two replies. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

The font at the bottom isn't too small, IMHO. I printed out the actual size and it's perfectly legible. It is 6 pt. so it might be but it looks ok to me. I'll see if bumping it up a point helps. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |

Increasing the font size for the bottom blocks makes it too tight to my name. There are "safe" borders that I force me to move them up a bit too much. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |

Put 'em on a sheet, 10-up, and let it rip. It's a vast improvement, it's got all the needed info. I monkeyed with it enough yesterday afternoon to realize it doesn't allow for any big, drastic changes once you get it to this stage (what with fitting everything and stuff). It ties in to your site and stuff, but the info is displayed a little cleaner/more logically, so barring any "stop the presses!" comments from anyone else, that might be what you go with.
Self-printing, then? That's what I do. I don't even have that perforated business card stock. I print mine out on the thickest paper my printer will take and manually cut them out with a sharp Xacto, cutting mat and metal ruler. I keep 5-10 in my wallet, 5-10 in my car and I've given friends and relatives a few so in case they run across anyone interested in switching to the Mac (or who needs something drawn or retouched...I have two different cards relating to each pursuit), they'll have them. |

One more thing: I noticed that the address on the card and the address on the bottom of the site are different...? and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Thanks everyone. I'm going to get some card stock Avery thingies and print them on my old job's fancy color laser printer. Any suggestions for doing it two sided?
And Robo, I'm moving offices on Thursday. Into a much nicer space. I'm really looking forward to it. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |
