I think a more subtle vehicle in the background might help ..the truck color grabs your eyes and you really can't focus in on the words

I agree with poorboy, I think the silver truck along with the chrome on the tail lights distracts from your business name and number....maybe a black vehcile and set your name off to one side.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

I'd have to say I agree with Poorboy. For doing it yourself you're off to a good start but the truck does make it very hard to read your info.

I'd suggest screening the truck back which would allow your info to 'pop' more...or you could make a bold strip through the middle of the card horizontally and leave the truck in there as it is and then put your logo up top and your contact info below.

Sorry for the lengthy reply...I do this by trade so I thought I'd give you my .02¢ worth.

Hope it helps ya.

Here are a couple cards I've designed which might offer you a few examples...





Good luck and don't hesitate to ask if you've got any questions. As I said...nice work and props for doing them on your own.

Aside from the above suggestions include your area code with the phone number.

Looks good Tony
Nice clean professional appearance.

Just one thing, unless someone is savvy they may not realize that your address is also your website.
Just a thought for your next printing to add that
