hi i'm interesting in initially getting about 1000 a4 letterheads printed. either silver foil or metallic ink, probably with only one other (normal) colour. i appreciate the foil may be prohibitively expensive so looking at prices for both options. thanks in advance

update: i've now found someone to do this, thanks for reading

hi and thanks for reading this post i'm looking for prices for the design of a business card. it'll be for a frosted transparent plastic standard size business card i suspect 2 colours (probably a blue and silver / 'metallic' "ink") but could be persuaded by other colours or another colour...

you seem to have a good idea of the content you want to include - so that's half the battle i guess, but how about perhaps a more simplistic style? I appreciate there's a great tendency to try and include various elements and modules but they really aren't needed: For example, i'm unsure...

okay, so the consensus appears to be that i should get the design done separately then! any recommendations regarding companies that do the cards? there's obviously limitations with regards to the amount of colour that can be used because of the process and differing prices with respect to...

Exactly. Plus by making them available to them (presumably before they even contact you to engage your services) at least they've had a chance to look at them already and could choose to go elsewhere before engaging with you (or indeed raised concerns regarding the terms prior to entering...

i'm not sure the onus is any different at all: either way there would have to be proof of the formation of the contract - in one case proof of the existence of a clear sign, the other proof that the terms and conditions were displayed. Emailing someone to ask them whether they agree to the...

You're currently going further than you need do. You merely need an agreement to the terms - this doesn't even need to be explict and can be implied - for example, if you've advised at some point that the contract is subject to your terms and either provide them or provide a link to them, then...

i think you hit the nail on the head: as someone that may be seeking some design input shortly, i'd rather deal with an individual designer rather than a company. Unless it's a large project, i think most people would rather deal with a particular designer - it's their own particular...

again thanks for the advice the 'free design' service is via plasma design and some of their cards look good but having looked at various websites for hours i know that some of the designs have appeared elsewhere and it's difficult to tell if they've merely printed them or whether they've...

you did say "anyone" - i'm not a designer but just stumbled across the forum and was looking at a few posts here and there. so here's a random idea from me to kick you off: your name is relatively balanced (6 letters and 7) so you could have one above the other, in italics and see if you can...

legally speaking, the answer to your question depends on what you previously agreed: you do have a contract, albeit that it's not in writing (and therefore difficult for either of you to prove what the agreed terms were, especially the agreed price). If you have, for example, terms and...

i'm not a designer, so not sure my views count for anything, but i immediately thought of a similar thing when i saw it the only thing is i don't know if you'd get away with a 'raised' "3"/"E" as it might then look like "CUB" with a '3' above it. perhaps "CUB3" (but obviously with the 3...

thanks for the advice what about the card places that claim to do design themselves are they worthwhile or is the fact that the "free design" element simply lumped in with the printing less transparent and likely a bit of a falsehood? i know it's the question that all the designers dodge...

hi i happened across this forum via google and have spent a while reading the forum but thought i could perhaps pick your brains as there seems to be a lot of collective expertise i'm looking to get some business cards printed, and think something based on a frosted transparent plastic...
