brilliant concept!!!

my first thought was of the mouth and not south, so i think there is no need for matutr content label.

only critique goes to the typography. it looks like you used a lot of typefaces here. i would reduce them to a maximum of two.

+ when it's reduced to normal business card size, i think the email and phone nr would be too small.

... and i think the lines 'kim cali' and 'speech therapist could use a higher leading (hope that's the right english term...)

but the concept with that cut-out really blows me away!!!

Phew... Maybe I'm not a complete perv, although the "mature" jibe was tongue in cheek - pun intended.

I agree on the typefaces, generally speaking. Being a Bauhaus/Swiss school influenced designer, I tend to stick to a fairly limited number of fonts for most instances...

That said, I thought that the texture of the card could be a little more playful since she works more with kids. And as the subject matter is one that is generally/socially seen as a point of shame rather than a disability to be overcome, I thought the tone of the card, uvula and all could be a little more light and airy - so I opened up the typographic possibilities a bit. Its still a work in progress though (I didn't have her exact ASHA credentials on hand as I was working on it - that could change the balance of the card significantly) and I think that your critique is well aimed. I will keep it in mind as I push the concept into reality...

Thanks for the feedback! Cheers,

What a great idea. I laughed at your vulva comment. Believe me, it looks fine! If you get this printed and die cut, please take a few shots of the business cards. I'd love to see.

Why thank you! yeah, I am thinking I will see what strings I can pull... A few large print jobs have earned me some sway with a couple of printers in Denver so we'll see what I can come up with. I really really want to see this come to fruition. Really.

Then the photography...

Thanks!

funny Idea!
good usage of media I'd say.

I don't think the uvula looks wrong. The only thing I might change about it is make the ball part of the uvula a bit bigger. However, the color is nice because it's not red, which therapy wise is like an anger color but it's a good shade of pink so that it looks like the inside of a mouth.

Wonderful!
