Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

If you want to collapse the line for a res, I'd suggest "Senior Executive with specialized experience in designing and implementing strategies for legal, corporate and higher education fields."

Chopping it further for a card: "Senior Executive - Legal, Corporate and Higher Education Strategist"

Um, what do you charge for resume review again? I mean, if that was a free sample, I should have you give it a look!

And now, thoughts on business card design.

Option 1

Option 2

and the back of option 2.

I'm inclined toward Option 2, but am concerned that it's "girly" because of the swoosh.

I like Option 2; the swirl is feminine, but not girly, and it's simple. The dark blue is sober and classic.

Resumes, I charge $50/ hour for simple review and tweaking; if it's a pretty complete rewrite and reformatting (you'd be going with a CV or res?) it's about $250.

I like #2 better (though I can totally see #1 as your style)

But for a business card, I like Erin's shorter version ('Senior Executive - Legal, Corporate and Higher Education Strategist') much better.

I agree about option 2. It's lovely, distinctive and easier to read than the first one.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Light on dark is hard to read on printed materials, particularly with the font that small.

I think you need something that's shorter and more of a selling proposition on the front and a mini-resume on the back. Try Googling "networking business cards."

Perhaps I will have more concrete ideas after more coffee.
