So here's my new business card design. Not sure if I'll stay with it. It's alright - clear message, simple two-tone color scheme, communicates what clients can expect from RMCC.
I tell ya, I'm glad I'm not a graphic designer. I can pick away at graphic stuff for days. As it is I'm probably going to fiddle around with this design some more tomorrow (I might switch out the green color for a nice blue).
I'm the same way with news releases (perhaps that's why I always gel with graphic design folks so well, I know they go through that artistic perfectionist stage also). I always joke to folks just starting out in PR that when you have to write 'a' news release, you can expect to write the equivalent of five news releases just to get to that 'one' final news release copy.
Yes, you can whip a release up fast, but they lack that finished touch. They fail to flow and hold the reader. This is why I say that there is a certain element to PR that is an art. I'll re-write a sentence 30 times sometimes.
I know, that sounds a bit excessive, but it's hard to explain, it's like painting I suppose (although using words). Artistically you can just feel when there is something missing and sometimes that means you have to keep trying new sentence structures to try and make the idea you are communicating 'pop'.
With my blog, and all social media, I just slam on the keyboard for 10 minutes, proof read it once, and get on with my day. But things that are meant to last and be referenced many times, like a business card, I get obsessive about getting it just right.
