Playgirl, can you tell me what the blue design in the center of your card is supposed to represent?

sorry:(

I did.. especially the white on white which i thought particularly funny when he pointed out the blue on blue of the other guy's design which wasn't as bad as his. (no offense intended digifan just an observation)

It reminded me of a TV show about String Theory and the idea of multiple universes in different dimensions that existed in layers next to each other. The show talked about how universes may occasionally bump into each other in their motions and that might be a "Big Bang" etc. etc.

Since your company is called "eDimensional" I thought it would fit really well.

note to other designers, this is an excellent response to potential clients justifying your use of pretty shapes.
it could also have mentioned:

a. extensive use of diagonals which invoke the impression of movement, and hence bestowing on the company kinetics and energy.

b. the use of blue and white reminiscent of energy and electricity to denote both as well as the electronic/internet feel.

c. could have mentioned "synergy" at least once.

the next class will talk about how the blank bit you left out is actually "white space" that acts as a counter-balance to the rest of the design as well as a clever mechanism drawing your eye to the important information.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

d. if you tilt your head at approximately a 48 degree angle, the shapes will slightly resemble the letter "e" which further represents an "e" dimension :thumbsup

e. :321GFY

you forgot

f. the use of letterboxing creates the impression that beyond the card and into the company is contained a great energy force waiting to be unleashed upon users of said company.

g. the use of chrome invokes a mechanical clean efficiency especially when coupled with the energy it is containing, as well as conductivity and synergy (at least twice remember) with bricks and mortar B2B or B2C.

h. positioning of the logo on the shine point of the chrome implies power and light emanating from the company.

i. never mention you came up with an idea watching tv. No matter whether it's the discovery channel you will come across like a procrastinating tv-watching designer.

j. you can never edit a post fast enough to take out the :boid and come up with something semi-witty without someone seeing it.

:1orglaugh




















now :Kissmy

I am not offended at all and I did the text with a very dark blue stroke or contour just forgot to update the small jpeg files and now it makes no sense at all. I got side tracked with this flu and feel shitty.

I like the other guy's design a lot and I am sure I did not offended him either.

Not sure if you realized but "our friend" deleted my response for the copyright of photos used in contests when quoting me.. and what made me post before was that he was wondering if we have the license for them or just steal them?! It is insinuation.

dude that is so hot

Some nice designers in here

Ok here is another lighter blue and the one with red e corrected i.e. stroked.. still not ready because we can use fake names, addies and phone #s only but oh well...

bump for any last minute entries.

no intentional deleting, and i only responded to you because you quoted me. as i'd said in 2 previous posts, i didnt want to point fingers.

mate, sorry if i trampled your toes, i was just calling it as i saw it.

your fixed designs are fine, my issues were w/ the seams etc.

meh

I see.. that was the part that did upset me yesterday, the licensed photos issue :)
Btw the funny thing is that all my entries were updated in psd format and forgot to resave and upload the low res jpegs I posted here in time.. so I just submitted two of them before gong to bed. Nevermind.
And I am a girl, really :)

And the winner is, PLAYGIRL!

Thanks to all those that entered. Playgirl, please ICQ me or tell me how to get in touch with you. We have a couple of modifications we'd like to see before it's print ready. The text on the left side blends a bit too much with the gray and the al in eDimensional blends too much with the white. If we can clean that up a bit we should be good to go.

Almighty, you were a very close #2. I'll certainly let you know if we end up needing another design.

Thanks again to everyone and I hope all of you get more work out of this.

see kiddies it's called the "design rationale" :)

thanx no prob man can sell the design to someone else we like showing off our work anyways

100 business cards

thanks, x-vision! :)

bhutocracy, it's called "mad skill" :thumbsup

Congrats PlayGirl!
