Hi guys:
Here is an image of a calling card for a friend.
Is it cute? Or not cute enough? Is is spare in a good way? Or too spare?
I'm still working on the colors too.
Thanks for the input,
Mike Diaz :-)

I'm a fan of minimalist design, black and white, and cropping words - all of which you have. But something about this makes me uneasy. Have you tried using a smoother script or something a little lighter? I feel like the cursive shouldn't take over the card as much as it does.
On a different note: the cursive "ferrell" is lost when viewed as it is. I just thought they were squiggles. Maybe do the common-sense thing and put "erin" at the top and "ferrell" at the bottom both right-side up?

If you're going to use a hand-written script face for "farrell", use one with a good set of alternates so the "rr" and "ll" combinations look a little less mechanical.
When I tried to read the upside-down "ferrell", all I got was "ppiaaj".

Following you guys's advice:
More new ideas:
I'm trying to mix Emma script and Yanonne Tagesscrift
This could be all by itself on the font and the address on the back
I like this one but... its not cute

So what does everybody think of the new cards I made? Should I continue to explore emma script and Tagesscrift?
Thank you :-)

I like the first one, minus the last name. Only "erin" one time in the script font.
