Very cute, Texannie. I think you want to center "At Your Service" and "Solutions for Busy People," right?

Annie, I like it also, but I would right justify those two lines and change the font of the company name to make it more prominent.

Annie, I like your card, but I played around with it to see how it might look if formatted a bit differently. I changed the title to Comic Sans font 20 I think, with a shadow. The next line is now italicized, and the bottom text is just a touch more descriptive and has the same font (Arial) as the 2nd line.

Too busy? For cripes sake that's what your business is all about, isn't it? Solutions for busy people is your motto. What should you have on there instead, someone taking a nap? LOL

It is only too busy if people looking at the card can't figure out what the graphic is. If they have to hold it closer to see it is somebody on a unicycle juggling, then it is too busy. Otherwise, it is just fine.

... just throwing my two bits in here... Love the graphic, BTW. Too busy? Pshaw. Just don't forget to line up the margins on the contact info, too. And, I'm not sure about the Comic font. I love it, personally, but I'm not sure if Comic really translates well to a professional statement. Maybe I'm a font snob, but Comic seems a bit, uh (don't hit me, please?!), juvenile. I had a co-worker who set all of her default fonts to Comic, and I just had a hard time taking her seriously. Is there another font that still has the playfulness of Comic, but still with a bit of an authoritive statement? Oh, and make sure you're not using more than two different fonts on the card. Different styles of the same font (bold, italics, etc.) are OK, but don't overdo it on different fonts for different things. (Constructive criticism only, taken from my past two years experience working with look-and-feel consistency in branding and marketing. Just an opinion... lol)

LOL, glad ya'll agree about the graphic and too busy. i thought to myself 'isn't that the point?' true, about having to squint Juju, but i can even tell what it is without my glasses! Karen, thanks! i agree about the two fonts too. hmm what would be a good option instead of comic?

What kind of clientele are you looking for, Annie? Upper-class, high elegance, might do well with something like HANA? Crisp and clean, impactful... If you still want some playfullness in there, to take away some of the "corporate stuffiness", would something like Simpson, or Surfer, work?

good question, Karen. the jobs i have gotten have been along the lines of personal assistant and catering/event planning. Seems like most of my clients are busy executive women. I have a long term personal assistant job right now for a women who is chief counsel for an oil company, she was transferred to Chad and i am managing all her affairs while she is gone. I've got a job coming up in August that is a cocktail buffet for 30 that i am doing everything for the food and planning. The client is another busy corporate executive woman. I have also done personal shopping for husbands.

Texannie, I didn't get to your card revisions, lots of laundry, etc. for my Mom today. I'd think the way you originally did it was fine and you can make any adjustments to that one probably easier than I can (since you weren't able to edit the one I sent you before). It's a good question as far as knowing your audience and maybe changing the font to a more professional one. I'm probably just partial to Comic Sans because I've worked in a preschool for years!
