    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Business Cards

Not sure if I like this one or not. It's still a work in progress but I'm trying. Originally the background was orange and red but that was to conflicting with the animals. This one seems more soothing????

You should use a bolder font for the title of the company so that the Crestie looks more natural hanging there. At least for the first letters of the 2 words. The leo looks a bit thin, is that how you cropped it?

I like the background.
 
Stephanie, thanks for the thoughts on the font. The leo is a juvi and still growing. I really liked the background also, Unfortunately I made it in photo shop and only saved the whole design as a jpeg. I forgot to save the background seperately. oops.
 
Me too, Me too!! I've tried quite a few different designs for business cards and nothing looks exceptionally great. Any ideas? My website looks like crap too, so when I get that redone I'll probably get some business cards made up. I was just wondering what you guys could come up with. BTW, all these cards look great!

Here's my PICTURES.
 
Just wondering what y'all think of the card I made for myself... (this isn't the actual file of the card...I shrunk, decreased resolution, and saved as a jpeg just to post it here...)

Here Katie... real quickly threw this together for you (What else is there to do on a Friday night? lol). Obviously the pictures need more touching up... but as a few general ideas... I still have the larger source as well if you wanted any of them tweaked (color, font, size, background, ect). They are the same basic layout but that can be rearranged as well. The rectangle in each picture shows the "safe" printable area if you were to actually submit it for printing.

Edit: Also, your website was down for a little while so I wasn't able to get your slogan (Specializing in some peachy keen designer Leos) from the site, so I just made these "personal" business cards more for you than for the business as a whole.

I was toying around with a card. I was going to use the same photo that hypogecko used, but didn't like the shedding leg, which hypogecko solved that problem by setting it on the bottom like that. I was going to use the "motto" also. Hypogecko and Milwaukee Reptiles put plenty up though, which is good, because it takes me to long to edit the geckos from the background.

Click to expand...
Me too! Luckily Macromedia Fireworks has a tool for selecting like colors and you can set the sensitivity... I'd be so lost without that tool. It's not perfect but it cuts out quite a bit of it.
 
Katie I'll work on one for you tomorrow :) I gotta get to sleep...its 3 am!

At any rate...Dan...I just couldn't resist redoing the card I did for you with some free fonts I got off the web...lol I had fun with this one!!! (I do still have the original as well and can still edit it and whatnot...if you still want to use it...or this one...or a modified version of either...let me know so I can IM you the photoshop file...my sn is StinaUIUC on AIM too)

Dan...here's with some different graffiti fonts. The main file is still basically entirely editable...so I can change the picture or put more info on or change the fonts again...or whatever you want :)

I love that design! What would I have to do to get it perfect for printing out? Everything you guys have said is all confusing to me..lol.
 
Yeah I can change fonts...whatever you want...then I can send you the file (e-mail or AIM). As far as getting it printed...I can't help you there.
 
It's easier to send the files through aim because they don't need to be zipped or anything... Do you have any idea what kind of fonts you'd prefer?
