Design my business card for $10

[tlogank]

I would offer more, but I pretty much have all the graphics that I want to use here for you. This will be a 2-sided card. A business card's specs are 2.0in x 3.5in. One the front, I would like to have the picture of me (shrunk, ofcourse), my logo, and the contact information. On the back, I would like to list the services I offer, as well as the contact information again. I have shown you my current business cards below so you know the information I want to put on there, as well as my picture. I welcome any extra creativity you might want to throw in or implement into the design if you feel it would make it better. Also, if someone could come up with a cool-computer-ish background for the card, that would be great, too. I am hoping to get a design sent off this week to be used. Thanks for all your help!

PS: I prefer to pay through PayPal, but if you need it some other method, then I suppose to can try to do that.

Current Card (the name Computer Helper and Mouse are my logo)

well, the front just has a few words...not really that busy...I think it looks pretty clean to me...that is why there are 2 sides, so that you can see the other stuff on the back.

Looks good, except I get irritated when I see the last word in friendly is cut off by the head. If I were making one, I would move the head down a pixel or two

wow 10 dollars for designing a card?

talk about sweatshop labor lol

[Berto]

I was thinking the same thing. lol.

This is the exact thing we spoke of in class. For ten bucks, you get what you pay for. Those who choose to design for such low prices cheapen their own worth in the end.

I disagree...this is one of the advantages of Neowin...friends helping friends. Also, a lot of these members dont have full time jobs, so any money is good money-especially if it is doing something they like doing anyway. I appreciate what he did and will definetely use him and pay him more next time I need something like this done.

And those who ooze with and lust for greed will end up only that... greedy. Yes, you get what you pay for, but that isn't ALWAYS so cut and dry. Nobody said you had to read the thread. Nobody said you had to post your opinion. Nobody said you had to even think about doing the request.

Do you have a professional portfolio? I dont mean one with school projects in it... i mean real world stuff? And I dont mean one or two projects... at least 5 is preferable for an entry level contract or position. No? If not, then you dont have any room to talk... because on the recieving end of professional deals, well... yeah. Won't be much work there until you DO get some jobs under your belt. Take a few small jobs, do well, and then you get the big jobs. You dont just jump straight into them green... anybody with some real world experience gets that much out of this whole thing. You dont convince people that you're worth what you are without showing them that you can consistently perform at that level. One, two, three jobs aint gonna cut it. Bet your class didn't teach you that, did it?

Zing!

[Josh]

I hate people that troll... *sigh* Nothing to contribute, nothing about the OP... just fscking trolling...

[kaneso]

ye $10 was okay by me because i want to build up a portfolio and i have to start somewhere. Also he bassically gave me all the images

[colordeficiency]

The result is pretty professional, clean and straight!

Off Topic: kaneso you have a nice website!

[kaneso]

thankyou. i have just moved to http://www.iconish.com/ :p

[tlogank]

yes, he did an awesome job--and I am very appreciative...I will probably use him again soon for other work.

[Javizun]

Call this trolling but tlogan said this is a site to help friends right, so why didnt you offer at least 20-30 bucks for the design?

so that you can really help him out? instead you offered $10 come on of course your not going to complain but if your going to say something of that matter then really help out-not just benefit from it.

i dont know how old he is and what he wants to accomplish but from looking at his site he got skills ot pay the bills

i personally feel like he lowered himself by allowing you to take care of him

why dont somebody please build me a website for 30 bucks...after all we are all friends right

and yeah tlogank you have a bussiness so why dont you fix my computer for 20 bucks? we are friends right....

kaneso i like your website nice and clean keep doing your thing

i cant believe a person with a bussiness with stoop so low

and people defnd him i guess they dont the real intentions

[Josh]

It is trolling and here's why...

- Did you contribute anything to the thread that concerns the original poster? No.

- Did you make an offer to (negotiate with) the original poster if you had intentions on trying to fulfill his request? No.

- Did you display unwarranted AND unwanted (by the original poster) comments on your own agenda JUST for the sake of griefing the OP due to your OPINIONS? Yes.

For those two reasons stated you're just trolling.

If you didn't like what was going on then you should have just clicked your back button and moved on. No sense in this "postcount+1) garbage... everybody with an opinion thinks they need to be in on everything... it's really annoying after awhile.

The business in this thread is the business of the Original Poster and any party partaking in the fulfillment of his request.

Neowin has really gone down hill in the last 4 years...

Maybe i the future you should just take your business ventures privately... like, get the bite and then start with the PM's because there are some instigators in this community who feel the need to butt their noses in everywhere because their opinion matters so much and it really REALLY needs to be stated before they pop a vein.

Ha, I meants that in a sarcastic way, but I do all of those jobs, so I kinda have my own look...besides, I keep it neat most of the time, and dress descent when I go to my jobs (khaki's, polo)...I haven't met anyone who seems to be bothered by the beard...yet.

[Josh]

No no I was just harrassing you :) hence the ;) Im just a polo and khaki/jeans kinda guy myself... khaki's when meeting w/ clients, jeans when just working, and polo's all the time. I mean, how else are you going to wear a "professional" looking shirt that has a collar but feels like a tshirt? :laugh:
