Hey guys!

I was wondering what kind of business cards I should get, and if you guys had any design ideas. Here is a link to my site: www.bendingkarma.com

Should I go for a crisp black feel with small white writing, or a flowy design with a white background and black writing?

Also, do you guys have any logo designs for me? The name is BendingKarma, so I was thinking of something flowy, anyone with a good art background, could you shoot me some ideas?

Thanks!

Mehar
 
Two ways to look at this.

First: Why would you want random people on the internet designing your business card? Do what you think fits your character. We don't know you, we don't know your style, we don't know anything about you, really. How could we possibly make intelligent design decisions for you? The best you'll get is a multitude of opinions. You need to make your own decisions. If you can't do the designing yourself, hire a graphic designer.

Second: Why should we design your business card for free? Most professional designers won't give their work away for free, so we're back to the previous issue: All you're going to get is a bunch of random, unprofessional opinions. Again, if you want someone else to design your stuff, hire someone.
 
It looks like you got your wordpress theme from something similar to http://graphpaperpress.com/, but unfortunately, the content that you have on the site doesn't really warrant the use of that theme.

I actually have one of the Graphpaperpress themes installed my site, but my site is not public yet as I do not have nearly enough media/ art/ photography for such a theme.

You have broken img src tags in your gallery page, the text on some of your pages are hard to read due to bad font color in relation to the background picture =/.

You don't really have any pictures of you performing, not many head shots, etc...

Now, none of this would really matter if it was only a blog site (but your blog would need to be at home page), but since you are advertising your shows and will most likely put your URL on your business card, as a business website, you have a lot of bugs to fix and some things to re-work.
 
Just because,

Before:

Mehar wants to have each and every one of his show’s to be catered to your needs. Wether it’s in a dark hall, a summer charity event, or a private party in your apartment; Mehar delivers an hour of close-up magic. His tricks range from flicking a card and it changing in a split second; making coins disappear, reappear, and multiply; and levitating an object. He can perform for crowds of one to 20 at a time.

After:

Mehar is a professional magician who specializes in catering to his client’s needs. Whether it’s a charity event, private party, or in a dark hall (?), Mehar delivers close-up magic, for groups of up to twenty people, that will amaze and entertain. Cards change, coins disappear & multiply, and objects levitate in an atmosphere of fun and excitement.

Or something like that. Was that you I met today outside of Travis's show?

All my best,

hello deceptioproverum,

I currently do loop work, cards, coins, and that's it. I saw what you did down below, and, I need something that has a...picture? I don't want the words to be the main focus.

It could be something like... a bendy curvy design then somewhere in the background it could say bendingkarma. It doesn't even need to say bending karma, I just need a cool looking design of something bendy and flowy.

Hope that helped?
