  1. -Does it seem professional?
    EH?!?

     

    -What sort of personality does this card imply?
    Very dark, simplistic. A bit unorganized.

     

    -At a glance, what sort of services would you guess this business supplies?
    Art, animation & VFX. Though looking at teh card I would not think that it's a very exciting or creative company. Just kinda bland and safe.

     

    With all respect, maybe it's time you take this to a graphic designer and let them have a crack at it. It's not that your designs have been all bad, but they've all been variations on a same theme - squares & blocks.

     

    I'm not saying this to offend but I believe that it's the strength of a man to be able to recognize his weaknesses.

  2. it's not called a windscreen..it's called a popshield

    No, I actually meant windscreen. When you've recorded and worked in audio as long as I have you know the difference and either way you can call it whatever you like.

     

    I said windscreen because most likely he used a handheld or headset microphone. To which a windscreen is the type that looks like a clown nose and covers the entire element of the mic.

     

    If he was using a large diaphragm mic or even an small diaphragm mic on a stand then a "pop filter" (not a popshield) should be used. Even though several mics, an AKG 414EB for example, include windscreens.

     

    The reason for using a pop filter is that the mylar is much more sensitive on condenser mic than it is on dynamic mics and so needs more protection against "plosives". Unfortunately with nylon pop filters you tend to pay the price of loosing some of your high end above 15k. One of the best pop filters available is by Stedman. Their pop filters use a metal baffle that actually redirects the air and is sonically transparent.

  3. Go out and look at your car.

     

    Maybe one overhead, a couple under the dash where your feet are. Perhaps a couple of map (spot) lights coming down.

     

    Also, if you do another rotation render consider raising the camera angle on one of the revolutions so we can see some of the upper body detail too.

     

    I liked the higher angle you had before.

  4. What a great model. It's kinda strange how the steering wheel is in the middle but obviously that's the design of the car.

     

    Maybe you could add some interior lights so when the doors open up you can see a little more detail. Especially in the back when the truck opens up.

     

    All in all a very nice job!! :D

  5. Revision #9

    This should solve the readability and general clutter problems.

     

    Eh... Personally, I think you were closer before though I do like the character better (the first of the three in a row you posted is positioned best).

     

    In regards to the colors you could have just made the main box with your contact info white and it would have probably done the trick. The colors are starting to conflict and it's looking a little circus-y.

     

    It's almost getting to a point now where you're trying too hard.

  6. OK, maybe I'm one of the few people who actually uses the spell check but the internal dictionary that it refers to is retarded (no offense to our mentally challenged members).

     

    Earlier today I mispelled the word "understand" as "undertstand" and the spell check had no suggestions as to what the correct word should be! I know that it's probably a secondary feature to the software but it's still pretty stupid.

     

    OK, I feel a bit better now... :mellow:
