| REVIEW |
| Q : Please briefly tell us about you, your company and your products and services: |
| Kolya: DD Minds is a DC based company providing broad range of graphic design and development services. We make sure customers get a complete set of solutions for either their digital or print media. We take businesses to the next level and help them stand out among competitors.

|
| Q : The design of your card utilizes the juxtaposition of a beautiful, bold, bright yellow and a rich, dark grey to catch peoples´ eye. This color scheme carries on throughout your website and blog. It really satisfies the senses. What was the reasoning behind such bold color choices and how do these colors represent you as a company? |
| Kolya: We wanted to keep the design bright and serious at the same time. Our team is very friendly. Being customer-oriented and become a friend for each of our customers is the keystone in DD Minds. And we wanted to express this idea in 9x5cm |

| Q : You chose to apply the "Raised Ink" finishing to only the "Design & Development Minds" portion at the bottom of the card. How did you come to this design decision and what was the goal of applying the finish specifically here? Why "Raised Ink" as opposed to "Embossing"? |
| Kolya: We wanted to emphasize our company name from other part of the design. There is also "we are" in the same color as our name, so the goal was to make the name stand out among other text information. And we picked Raised Ink as the card was double sided and we wanted to avoid the debossed effect from the other side. |
|
| Q : Your design is proof how powerful a tool Typography can be. Do you have any advice or tips for companies/individuals wanting to use font for impact as opposed to graphics? |
Kolya:
1. Keep it simple.
2. Use one font for a card.
3. Try to match the font to your logo.
|
|
| Q : How did you find MorningPrint and what led you to decide to use us for your printing needs? |
| A: We have found Morning Print when we were looking for a printing partner, that has a good choice of stock and finishing options. We have tried once and now we are your client forever :) |
|
| Q : How has your experience with MorningPrint been thus far? |
| Kolya: From 1 to 10, it´s 11. |
|
| Q : Any other thoughts or suggestions you would like MorningPrint to know? |
| Kolya: Keep it the same way. Your quality, service, fastness is at the top notch. |
