black, but the font is terrible in both.
sorry, it looks like a harry potter font or something,

you need something clean and profesional looking, also I don't like the seeming random placement of the text at all sorts of angles.

i hope that helps.

Though I have nothing substantial to add, I want to say that had I commented first it would have been exactly what Candleman noted.

also agreed. if your text is all over the place, what does that suggest about your photo composition. your layout should reflect who you are as a photographer. but, if that is who you are then so be it!

My head hurts.

Text goes in one, MAXIMUM (in very rare circumstances) 2 directions. Never more.

As a graphic designer, that made me wanna run away. I'm sorry, may I suggest you find a design on zazzle or something like that. They have a wide selection and you may find something much cleaner.

The black one looks good, but the main problem in both of them is the font. It is not very clear and one may face trouble reading it. My advice is to change the font and also try to have the effect you have in blue card with other.

I was prepared for brutality! It's funny that I asked the exact same question to my Facebook friends and of those who commented only one (an aspiring photographer herself) mentioned the font choice.
