I agree with Prince and Matt. I think making it simple but eye catching. All characters are black ink and white background. No colors except if you want to put a picture on the first qtr or last qtr of the card to make it interestingand show a taste of your work. Just a suggestion.
Good luck.

I shouldn't have to look at different colors in the same word. It's just too confusing. It's alright with the "Photography" on the top because that's just one word, although still not the best choice in the world.

But on the bottom, it's just too much work for me to read it. Would you put white letters on a yelow background? To me, the white letters only work on the dark blue and red portion of the rainbow. Everything else is just too much.

Default Thanks!

Wow! What a great response to my first post!

A big thank you to everyone for your feedback. I certainly feel that both the negative and positive feedbacks have been very helpful to me and has prompted me to this new design.

Without being cheeky, I would be very grateful to find out what you all think...



Thanks again.

Thats a very positive improvement. Logo looks good. Fonts of the body look clear and simple.

I've noticed that a lot of times people like to make notes behind a business card, may be something like where they met you, what you talked about, etc etc. Your layout doesn't allow any of that.

You may want to stick to 2-3 colors, it may affect your pricing.

White background for some reason doesn't create an impact. Rear side fonts might help if they are less cursive.
