Hey guys, I'm working on a business card and was wondering if you could give me a hand with it. The color does not look that bad in Photoshop by the way.

The main money will come from wedding work - I'd put that on the card in preference to a portrait shot; or at least a bridal portrait

I would make the card wallet size so that it gets kept - words/address one side with photo on the other

It's working for me, not sure why it's not for you...

Do you have images from Imageshack blocked?

At art school, they teach you more is less and less is more and just enough is perfect. I think you should tell them to definitely take the picture out and do something clean and simple. I would change the font faces too, make them more consistent. You can still make the important stuff stand out by being consistent with the font still

It's not really working for me, there's just too much going on.

On something this small, I'd try to use just one font. You can add some variation while keeping a cohesive appearance by changing the size, boldness, italics, etc.

I would also simplify it. Maybe put the text one one side, and a really great photo on the other.

I just got married a few months ago so I had the opportunity to see lots and lots of photographer's cards. The majority of them looked a lot like the one above. The best one I saw was a flat black card with the photographer's business name, phone number and e-mail address and a letterpress style image of a camera below it. Simple and classy. The rest of his materials were designed in a very similar fashion, and I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't one of the reasons that we chose him.

It might be worth picking up cards for some of the other photographers in your area so you can get an idea about what you can do with your card to make it stand out from theirs.
