Hi guys,
This is my first real post on these forums so im rather excited.
I have recently become a victim of the recession so I am redoing my portfolio, business cards etc.
I am slightly torn between my various ideas. The design itself is almost finalised and I will post it as soon as its ready. It will be purely typographical with big bold letters in Lubalin Graph. What I am debating is two seperate color palettes and two processes.
The first idea is a roughly 75% black uncoated stock, most likely GF Smith, with a glossy black foil for the letters.
The second idea is for a much lighter grey stock around 25% with bright(ish) orange letters. I would probably use letterpress or litho for that design as the orange foils look rather odd and I think I would prefer a matt effect on this design.
Edit. I have just uploaded some roughs to flikr if anyone cares to take a look.

Any thoughts?
Thanks for your time everyone.
