I am a vintage jazz band leader in New York City. My groups play the music of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. My website is glenncrytzer.com for more info on what I do.
I am looking for a two sided business card design that has the look and feel of a really nice business card from the 1930s. I need to convey with the design that my work has that vintage kind of class and style, but also conveys that we are fun and entertaining.
Most importantly it should make a bold staement. If Fred Astaire had a card, what would it have looked like? I want a card that I feel confident will make an impact and will let people know that my work is te the top that NYC has to offer in vintage jazz..
Note that I have only decided to avoid the "committed payment" option as I have not used this service before. Assuming that I get quality work I will select a design from those presented.

Nice to have
- I'm attaching which could be used as is, omitted from the card, or altered maybe with text going around the outside of the circle or in some other way. It may need some clean up to the edges of the lettering as we only use it for the website thumbnail.
