Ready for the New Year?

It's 2011, time for new beginnings and new designs. Bold and colorful is the way to go this year. Unfortunately, the economy is still struggling along, making it necessary for us all to put forth an extra amount of  "oomph" when it comes to advertising and design. Time to get aggressive and "in your face" and leave all that subtle stuff behind.

Let's take a look at some real attention getting designs that you might consider for your business cards this year.

Above is a nice and clean design that also happens to be super bright and eye-catching. There's lots of room for any slogans or text you'd like, and it's a design that's just generic enough to match anything.

To the right is a template that has one of the most popular style elements of the past few years and is still going strong: the ever present polka-dots! More bright blue and some minty green really make this design pop. You've got some scissors in the midground to help make your statement.

Next post we will be reviewing more hot designs that are sure to catch your potential client's attention and assure them that you're the stylist that is ALWAYS on trend!
