    Hello All, No new entry's are required as we have chosen 2 shortlisted designs, I will notify the 2 shortlisted parties and eliminate the rest of the entries.

    THANK YOU for everyone's hard work, there have been some awesome designs here and it was very hard to choose just 2 finals, i would have chosen several if i could :) but unfortunately there will be only 1 winner, I will have several new contests coming up over the next 3 months so i definitley welcome everyone to enter as your work is fantastic.

    Thanks again!

    Zappa

    Hi Mal40, unfortunately alewis1223 is correct, if we were to choose these designs and then print them we would also be breaching copyright of the original designer and could also be liable for any damages if they were to pursue it.

    @Mal40 what everyone is trying to say here is that it is UNETHICAL and OFFENSIVE to to other designers when you go to sites and find business card designs like ( http://creativebits.org/files/12689…e716cf.jpg , http://reencoded.com/wp-content/upl…/05/29.jpg , http://www.reencoded.com/wp-content…y-card.gif , http://www.reencoded.com/wp-content…r-card.jpg , i could just keep going) and FLAT OUT COPY other designers work and claim for it to be your own. Those designers spent lots of time making those designs unique, and it is unfair for someone like you to come along and try and profit off of their designs. It's designers like you that ruin sites like 99designs by simply STEALING someone else's work instead of using your own creativity and coming up a unique design that is truly your own!!!!!

    ~~Contest Holder~~ PLEASE visit the above websites and look at the blatant copyright infringement that Mal40 has committed before choosing one of his designs. There are plenty of other designers who would love to create a one of a kind unique design for you instead of using other people's work.

    I don't know what is the problem here.. is there matter if the design is posted by me or by anyone else.. its the same thing.. and i don't know what the CH really wants, there is high star rating on so many different designs, so i dont know what he would like, and i am making this.. when he tell me which ones he likes if there are designs like this ill withdraw the rest of them. So I'm sorry if i made someone angry with this...

    I guess several people are guilty of this. I did not mean to single you out, and meant no offence by it. Just a thought.

    Mal, no offence, but I think you should stop flooding the contest with so many multiple and generic designs. Think about what the customer really wants, then come up with a couple of concepts. Where's the skill in banging out as many ambiguous templates as possible?

    Well, is that problem that someone saw the contest earlier than me, cuz when the other design is posted in my country is early morning... If you want i will withdraw the problem business card. As I see you had underline the OVER word but i didnt sayed anything to you, cuz you can think like me and make similar design and concept, am i right?

    true, i didn't even see that.

    i think the moral of this story is, if you have not done it before, and you don't know how... don't try and do it only because someone else is

    there's being creative and original - then there's just attempting to imitate a style you've seen (unsuccessful too, i might add)

    #70 - also if die cut - would lose center of letters like "o"

    #70 doesn't make sense - if the word "overexposed" is die-cut (or as you so elegantly phrased it "cut out", haha) then it would read backwards when the card is flipped over on it's back.

    your set up is wrong.
