Hi Paul

Thanks for posting your project.

The vector file would be very useful - if you could upload it please.

regards

Tony Walker

Thank you, will do it now.

Paul.

Hello. I saw this listing in my emails. if you could provide a complete list of services and contact information I can start to configure the business card and stationary a little better.

Could you give a list of services you would like Listed

Hi and thanks for the contact. Sorry it is taken so long to get back.

I will provide complete contact details as soon as I can but it will probably not be until Sunday. Sorry.

As for the services, there are lots but we are not sure what the main focus will be yet. I suppose it is a case of seeing what goes best when we start promoting ourselves. I am sorry if this is a bit vague.

Because we do not have a strap line yet or even a tag of any sort, I thought we might have to have a list of services on the stationary so people know what we do. I was sort of hoping we would not have to, to save us having to make decisions now, that only after we start selling ourselves will we really have the answers to.

Initially we thought the tag was going to be ''Digital Agency'' but with some research our target markets didn''t know what that meant. In fact it put off some of what would have been our ideal customers. That has left us in a real quandry.

After all that (sorry to go on) I will get some definitive answers by Sunday evening about the services.

For the time being I will understand your intention if you just write ''Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...'' etc etc or just make up contact details. Again I am really sorry to be so in the clouds.

Thank you for your contacts and for your time spent thinking about this design project. It really is appreciated and I am genuinely sorry that I don''t have the info you need available immediately.

Thank you again,

Paul.

I have, as promised although it is late on Sunday, updated the brief with the full list of services and all the contact details.

I have just spent hours in anguish over the ''should I put a title on the card'' and if so what titles? It was going to be Creative Director for James and Managing Director for me. (We are both directors of the Ltd company) But these seemed a little grandiose. I thought about slightly comic titles too like Web Guru but these didn''t sit right with me either.

In the end I decided that it was best to be accurate and simple, so it is Photographer and Web Developer.

That way we can always third party during negotiations, and I have never closed a deal without a degree of negotiation so that was really the clincher. I could alway run off a batch with different titles should the need arise.

Thank you all again,

Paul.

If James is the Creative Director why on earth are you using this site? 

That is very sarcastic.

Have you not read all the stuff before? I thought it was obvious why we are using this site. We also intend to use this site for future client work. We use this site because it is a fantastic way to get input from designers all over the world. And some top notch designers too.

We do not design business cards. We tried, but they all looked rather ''normal''. We do not design flyers (the next project I am posting) nor do we design logos (the last project).

A ''Creative Director'' is not the person that does the creative work, it is the person that directs the creative process or project, working with designers. I was also trying to ''big up'' the business too, at least thinking about it, but now his title is just ''Photographer'' and mine is just ''Web Developer'' as we decided that was best for our customers and the sales process, and more honest about what we actually do. This is not a vanity exercise making business cards to impress our friends, we want to sell our services.

You may be a generalist ''design anything'' type of guy. We appreciate the specialisms, skills and creative input of the professional designers on design crowd.

What on earth did you gain by posting such a rude message? Except possibly some vain exercise to make you smile. Do you post the same to all the ''Creative Agency'' projects posted here too.

If you wish to compete with us in our chosen market in our local area then please do. We look forward to the competition and there is plenty of business to go around. If however you wish to post to this or any future projects, your submissions will still be given full consideration despite your somewhat sarcastic approach.

Thank you for your comment.

I notice your earnings are $0.

I wonder why?

Sorry, that was a low comment by me. There could be lots of reasons for that. Was feeling bad about being so sarcastic myself.

Apologies.

Paul
