I have been looking for a good logo design software that I can actually try out. I downloaded AAA Logo but it will not let me save anything I make. I am looking for a program I can actually save what I am working on even during the trial.

Its not software but you can get amazing logo designs here http://www.logomyway.com

Im a pro cyclist and people tend to ask me for a name and number. I get tired of asking for pen and paper so Im thinking of just printing business cards and handing it to them. Its more convenient in my opinion. I don’t know how it should be designed. Any ideas? More details= more points

Obviously, clip art or picture of a bike would be a good starting point. You don’t say if you are a roadie, BMXer or MTBer; that would also have to be taken into consideration. If you are a roadie I would suggest not to put on your current team for that may not be your current team for long. Standard text for starters; just the basics, such as your name (Duh!), e-mail address and/or web address (if you have one and if you are wishing to be contacted), and anything else you feel is important. I can’t help you with layout for that is strictly a visual thing.

Business Card Scanning – Does anyone know to use use a regular scanner with special software to scan business cards? I don’t understand why I need to buy yet another scanner just for business cards.
Obviously, I need to clarify my question. Business cards need to be scanned to be imported into Outlook or other PIMs.

Couple for you to try here, haven’t tried any as i have a business card scanner (hardware + software package)

I am interested in selling some custom designed stationary, calling cards, etc. online and I have a decent printer; however, in order to do more work I need a better printer. I’ve tried doing some research but I’m still confused. From what I’ve observed so far, I think laser may be the way to go but other than that, I’m pretty clueless! Does anyone have a recommendation as to what printer I should look into purchasing for my business?

If you want a printer for printing cards and using it for a business then you will want that is better than average printer,I think a laser printer would be better than a ink-jet and I think you can buy them that will do colour. but if you ask at the shop I’m sure that they will be able to give you advice on what to buy and which make is better.

I am very interested in graphic design. I understand the mixture of colors, images, and prints. I have started to take some basic graphic design courses, what are the best design programs out there?

Adobe CS3 Master Collection probably.

There is also 3d Studio Max and Maya for modeling.

Designing Brand Identity
Theme: Organic Brand

The name should be the concept.

Please give me logo names.

Thank you!

Answered your other post, this time try the right forum.

I’m a digital arts major and have been asked to design a logo for a start up company. I have about 2 years of design training under my belt.

One of my professors told me that charging $200 would be the cheapest & lowest price.

How much should I charge as a college student? Should I charge by the hour or by a whole package price?

thanks!

I would take your teacher’s advice and charge them $200. Your teacher should know what’s fair to charge as a student. A professional in the field would charge much more. Plus, this is going to be something they use on everything as a company. I would tell them what a professional would charge them just so they know how much they’re saving by going through you.

A good book to use as a guide is the Graphic Artists Handbook. I use it as an artist also. Here’s the link below. Good luck to you!

Best of Luck to You

I was using microsoft publisher 2003 to make business cards. I have Avery paper where I can print ten cards on one sheet. But I don’t want the same ten cards. They’re all different. How would I set that up?

design your card in microsoft power point and copy it to microsoft word, or you can use paint to design your card , make your cards in different designs and copy them to word and resize them by using the utilities/tools,(picture tools etc.) setup the paper size and print you can print many copies in a sheet in different style and design.
