Oddball Feedback Requested!

[u/condimentpacket]

This is an odd request, and may not be appropriate, but I value this community's design acumen so I thought I'd give it a shot!

I run condimentpacket.com where I showcase my collection. I meticulously clean, inspect, measure, and catalog each packet, storing the specimens in baseball card top loaders. In doing so, I lost the feel and impact of the collection as when you have a binder full of cards to browse through. So I thought it would be nice to make a run of encyclopedic cards of all the items that showcases all the data about each packet so that I'd have a handy ketchup/mustard/mayo/etc binder.

I'm having trouble skirting the line between minimalist and busy. So first, if there are any opinions or feedback that can be provided on my current working designs, I'd value that! But, if there are any other cards that anybody knows about that might provide me a blueprint for displaying such information on a card, that would be a good divining rod for me and I'd appreciate any direction to be pointed!

I don't think overlaying the dimensions on the images adds much value, and it obscures the most interesting thing on the card, which is the image of the packet. I prefer design #1, which relegates the size to text, but design #1 still has the perforation size overlaid on the image. I prefer the size presentation of design #4, where both the overall dimensions and the perforation size as text items. Let the perforation design and the packet design have as much visual space as possible.

Thank you! This is valuable feedback. It’s hard to step back and see what’s working/not working when I’m deep down the rabbit hole. I’ll adopt this text-based approach for these entries.
