3. <img200*0:stuff/business_card_os%20copy.jpg>
[Ocean Soul] The text is just so you can see how it will look with text - I only chose Arial there because it's neutral and doesn't take away any of the mood ;) The green is because it is a very relaxing and very natural color, and this seems to match the business.

[DarkJenni] - Just a little something along the lines of a place holder, I can think of some things as I go, its kinda plain now. I'm also not so sure on how to resize these things on Photoshop or Illustrator since thats what I had used.

2006-10-31 [Sunrose]: Oooh nice work! ^__^ Yay an entry :D :D

2006-10-31 [Elegy - gone]: Hehe, thanks. Though I'm glad I'm done, those chakra symbols were nasty >.<

2006-10-31 [Elthia]: Colourful! :D It almost reminds me a bit of Christmas tree decorations... except it's flowers n.n Very nice!

2006-10-31 [Elegy - gone]: Christmas in Australia! :D Or somewhere else on the southern half of the world :3

2006-10-31 [Sunrose]: I was wondering what those symbols were, God I am such a ditz tonight..nothing seems to be getting through to me! >_<
I best get some sleep!

2006-10-31 [Elegy - gone]: Here I worked like mad on those damn symbols, and people don't even recognize them... I feel so unappreciated *sniffles* >.>

Hehe, but sleep is probably wise =P I think I'll be heading for bed soon myself

2006-10-31 [Sunrose]: No, when you mentioned it I saw how obvious it really was (I find myself in similar situations more often, including the occasional roadsign and such). So don't take offence really, I'm just out of it :P

2006-11-01 [HellHathNoFury]: oops i forgot to put a border around it T_T

2006-11-01 [Sunrose]: Why did you make it creepy? :P

2006-11-01 [Ocean Soul]: I was wondering about that as well x)

2006-11-01 [Elisha Kelly]: I made the width 200, it makes it just that little bit better to see them :)

2006-11-01 [HellHathNoFury]: I Made It Creepy Because I AM Creepy! XD Haha LOL

2006-11-01 [Ocean Soul]: It's not a business card for you though, [HellHathNoFury], which also kind of means that you should try to make it look like the person who will receive this rather than yourself ;)

2006-11-01 [Elisha Kelly]: just updated my entry... it needed something extra :)

2006-11-01 [Ocean Soul]: I really like your entry [Elisha Kelly].. but now I'll feel like copying when I use green like I had planned :P

2006-11-01 [Sunrose]: Franzie, that reminds me! She also liks butterflies =) I should add that to the wiki! *^^*
[HellHathNoFury]: Your entry has been removed, because it does not follow the rules :( The contest is not about creepyness.

2006-11-01 [Ocean Soul]: I had a feeling ;)

2006-11-01 [Sunrose]: Cool =D

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: NAH... I know you'd never copy [Ocean Soul] :P I likes yours vera muchly :D

2006-11-02 [Ocean Soul]: I actually am a little shocked right now, the green I chose is awful :P I should really have a serious look at my screen at home x_X

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: well I like it :) I might have make some more... I like this sort of thing :D

2006-11-02 [Ocean Soul]: Me too =3

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: I will confess that I won a competition like this in highschool, it was for a logo for a womans crisis shelter... and I beat out proper graphic artists and everything :P mind you the reason I won was some advice my art teacher gave me... simple works best :P since then I have loved doing logos and stuff :D fun fun fun!

2006-11-02 [Ocean Soul]: Mhh I never really learned how to do this -_- I just love vector shapes and things that are simple (simple does not have to mean easy or boring though) ^_^

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: yup :D thats what I think... I really wish I had went on to do graphic art instead of falling pregnant... but now I have other plans :P I worked at an embroidery place once and it was amazing just how simple colours and fonts could change the logo of something... :) sometimes with art it is to easy to get bogged down with all the details... sometimes it's nice to have a break and do some lovely simple designs :D

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: Hmmmm I couldn't help myself... I just had to make more :P

2006-11-02 [Sunrose]: lol, should I allow more entries per person? ^___^

2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: I think I'm good for now XD

2006-11-02 [Sunrose]: *grins* :P

2006-11-02 [DarkJenni]: O.o this looks like fun, I'm good with differant stuff like this. But the text on mine you can't get rid of it so I think I'll make them just blank [Elisha Kelly] I've read some of yours.

2006-11-14 [Aradeyl]: If the design breaks the border of the card, do you want a bleed and die cut guides?
Sorry if I confuse with my weird speak, a bleed is a continuation of the image for 1/8 inch past the card area and die cut lines are little lines that show where to cut straight to get the precise card size. The bleed makes sure if you oops by a little bit there's no awkward white at the edge.

2006-11-14 [Sunrose]: Errrr >_>

2006-11-27 [Just.Kate]: Aradeyl: As a seasoned card designer, I would say yes. Even a printer that has handled numerous comissions in the past can oppsie a little. I would, however, submit your entry based on how the card SHOULD look, and adjust accordingly if your design is picked. :)

2006-11-27 [iippo]: Fifth entrant forgot to add their username.

2006-11-27 [Just.Kate]: Oo Sorry >_>;

2006-11-27 [Sunrose]: Just for the record, the remedies aren't oil so it isn't 'oil therapy'.
Also, the intention of this contest is to get your design, not to get stock images: I can do that myself :/

2006-11-27 [Just.Kate]: =/ Alright. I just thought it might do nicely in case none of the others work out. I'll see what I can do about a designed artistical one. I will continue to offer technical advise though, one of which is to require a 600 DPI image from the winner.

2006-11-27 [Sunrose]: I understand, but as the rules say I don't want images from the net and the photographs have to be taken by you..
I've removed the entry, to not confuse anyone :)

2006-11-27 [Just.Kate]: Eh, ok. I thought I had read the rules correctly but I guess I misinterpreted them. Im sorry.

2006-12-19 [Black Raven]: <img:stuff/br2N-gif.gif>i know,mine has a low quality,i'll fix another one!

2006-12-20 [Sunrose]: Nice new additions! ^^
Do you have a bigger version of your Kaims? To see the details *^^*

2006-12-20 [Kaimee]: Yuppers, want me to link to bigger versions?

2006-12-20 [Sunrose]: Yes ^^

2006-12-20 [Kaimee]: posted ^^

2006-12-20 [Sunrose]: Wheee =)

2006-12-20 [Kaimee]: Trying to come up with something that matches californian flower remedies, massage, and energetic therapy is rather tricky.
Swirly smoke and flowers is as close as I'm getting, and I am now so sick of vectorised brushes that you wouldn't believe it ;)

2006-12-21 [Sunrose]: I think it looks awesome ^^

2006-12-27 [~Lady Morgana~]: Finally made it to enter *^.^*

2006-12-27 [Sunrose]: Wheeeeee! Looks very cool ^_^

2006-12-27 [~Lady Morgana~]: Thank you very much :D

2006-12-28 [Kaimee]: Oooh, nice ^^

2006-12-28 [~Lady Morgana~]: Thank you :D

2007-01-07 [Sunrose]: Niiiiice! :D

2007-01-07 [Jitter]: Thanks :) i sold that for crap reward. Main reason i left from that office really :)

2007-01-07 [Sunrose]: Ahwz :/ *huggle*

2007-01-08 [Kaimee]: If you already sold it can you still use it though? :/ I don't know how these things work in other countries, but here if you sell a design they get very cranky with you for using it with anyone else ;)

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: Well I sold a thousand cards of it and he had the right to come and ask (and pay) for more when he was out. We kept the designs on our name there. Not sure how it is done in bigger companies but my ex-boss (oh so talented designer) made 5 more cards out of my design by changing colour and blending options... *sigh* Glad I left there ;)

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: The thing is though that designs that are submitted here may be used for a business card, I need to be sure of course that I can actually do that :)
If you sold it to him, then it probably belongs to him (aside from you), it might not be a good idea to then also give it to me for possible usage..

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: Copyright is still mine and you can use it for a business card :) Will explain the situation there more thoroughly tomorrow as I'm logging off now :) Goodnight! PS- I can toss in a new one though! I feel inspired today!

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: Okay, sweet dreams! *huggle*
I won't object to another entry of course ;D

2007-01-09 [Kaimee]: Ah, as long as the other client(s?) understood and agreed that they didn't own copyright and it stayed with you/the company, then it should be totally fine ^^ I had a few problems recently with people thinking that if they bought prints of mine then they owned the rights, and I had to go all lecturesome on their asses >:)

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: Haha I never sell the rights. It's just not worth it here. People would rather get reused stuff than pay a bit more and have their own unique logo or card. But here, I made two fresh made ^^

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: Niiiice, I especially like the second one ^^

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: Thanks ^^ I will probably try and change the green one too. PS- I added my old personal contact info in the examples

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: Ohh question: Are brushes and/or free clipart allowed?

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: If they are part of the artprogram, but not photographs or the likes :)

2007-01-09 [Jitter]: I mean I have a collection of clipart which I bought. Was wondering if I can use on the card :)

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: If they are like the images in Word, then no. If you mean the custom shapes like in Photoshop, that's okay :)

2007-01-10 [Jitter]: Ok then I'll try to mix them around :) (kinda like the photoshop ones)

2007-01-31 [Sunrose]: [Lakayana], do you have bigger versions of your entries. The details are kind of difficult to see :/

2007-02-18 [Elisha Kelly]: changed on of my entries hope thats okay.

2007-02-22 [Sunrose]: Wow, that's really nice :O

2007-02-23 [Elisha Kelly]: thankyou :D I was taking pictures of some jacaranda flowers after it rained, and it occured to me that they would look good on a business card :D

2007-02-27 [Sunrose]: Indeed :D

2007-08-26 [Sunrose]: [Lakayana]: Your entries have been removed, because they do not meet the quality requirements.
Come on people, we're past halfway! :D

2007-09-02 [Sunrose]: Do you have a bigger version of that [Cassave]? *^^*

2007-09-02 [Cassave]: There you go 8)

2007-09-02 [Sunrose]: Thanks *^____^*

2007-09-03 [Sunrose]: Wheeee :D

2007-09-08 [Elisha Kelly]: thats georgous pixie... and fabulous cassave

2007-09-08 [pixish]: :D! I have another version, I drew it on a piece of paper but I left it at my house so I will have to wait until tomorrow to start it :$!

2007-10-10 [Sunrose]: Wheee =D

2007-10-10 [Elisha Kelly]: I have a few more ideas too, so I am ditching one of mine and replacing it :P

2007-10-11 [pixish]: aw :p I love those little red lilies

2007-10-11 [Sunrose]: Or I should just allow more entries, why not x)

2007-10-11 [Elisha Kelly]: hee hee!!!!! more entries!!!! :P it is impossible to run out of ideas for this!

2007-10-12 [pixish]: the appointment tieme was a good idea :)!

2007-10-12 [Elisha Kelly]: yeah I had a brain wave!!! :P was all that vegemite I ate this afternoon! :P

2007-10-12 [Sunrose]: Coolness :D

2007-10-14 [Elisha Kelly]: ha! finally got it right :P I kept uploading the wrong one XD

2007-10-14 [Sunrose]: So niiiice *^___^*

2007-10-15 [Sunrose]: Hehehe =D

2007-10-15 [Jitter]: I will make some more :)

2009-07-08 [pixish]: :o wow! Two years ago nearly was the last comment :o

2009-07-08 [Kaimee]: Time flies :O And I still haven't gotten around to making another entry xD

2009-07-08 [pixish]: tsk :p Of course, you haven't been doing anything important either, just wasting time :p

2009-07-09 [Sunrose]: It's a train!
