boy does it ever...if I had a little more space I could have put my whole website on there LOL but the largest pic at least shouts out a little about a bigger aspect of my life....than photography(shhhh I know photography surely should be the biggest )

thanks for the support...and I'll check out that place you recommended. thanks again...let me know how the wedding goes. ;)

After reading Steve's comment, I have to agree with it (just a lemming, I know...). But I think this new design sends a lot stronger message of what you do and what type of work you're trying to get. I know what you do, but people you're handing the card to may not.

One idea: I wonder if some people will think you only do B&W by looking at the card. Really, things like that happen. What about making half of those images in color - kind of a checkerboard effect?

Talk about a quantum leap in a design's evolution...

As good as your flower looked, THIS is what you really want on your commercial business card. I don't thnk the design (even business card sized) is too busy at all. You did a great job of laying out the shots and IMO it has overall as well as individual impact.

That being said...

I'm not sure I like the design of the typography side of your card. I mean I think it's certainly good enough, but to me it's kind of generic. I think you could come up with something better.

I'm also not a huge fan of the "gray scale" text. It's an intersting idea, but I don't think it reads that well when put into use....

It's tough to see some of the photos - especially the top right one. I might drop one or two of them - as you said it's 2 x 3.5 and I think you have too many. Nice pics, though. Also, not to throw a really monkey wrench here, but do you want all black and white? Will people think that is all you do?

No we're talking Nat!
To go along with what Steve and LL said, why don't you mix the front up with some color photographs as well.
Just a thought.
