And this:"see photographically and artistically literate people liking it, but not the average bride. Graphically it's great. Simple, original, recognisable, easy to iconise, and it will look good on everything from photocopies to quadtone inks on glossy stock"
are the responses I hope for and frequently get. I really don't like working with visual or emotional wimps, unless they pay well and quickly.(haha)
However... Since the text that goes with the image is an obscure quote from Shakespeare "Were beauty under Twenty Locks kept fast...", I also get this puzzled look and have even received e- mail messages and phone calls days later asking "what the **** does this mean?" Some times the thing left unsaid and the controversial (Iguess) nature of the card, lead to a continuation of a conversation, rather than the card (and it's recipient) just disappearing.
This I consider all to be very good. People definately never just take the card, and put it away. There's always that pause of 7-10 seconds while it sort of pokes them in the eye.
Twenty Locks is in bold text and is the "official" name of my bidness. I'll see if I can convert the biz card art to a jpeg and post it here, for a complete critique... t
