Hey everyone,
I finally decided to go ahead and do a business card.I need it as I have a photo exhibition coming up at my college. I think the design is kind of creative, but not sure if its easy enough to notice the "C". Also I am confused about the font. Does the layout work? Fonts too big? Design any good all? Any other ideas. Feel free to let me know your honest opinions.
Thank you for you time!

I have to say I love it. I would maybe just raise the letters of your name the SLIGHTEST bit to seperate the "h" from the stem of the grass. Relaly creative and it drives home what you do.
I also might consider cloning out the seed head at the bottom which detracts a little - you want to keep it simple and make sure people are focusing on your name and your website.

I like this very much as well, but totally agree with Luke's 2 suggestions. Then I think you would have an outstanding business card. The "C" is very recognizable and the fonts are nice too.

I have nothing to add that Luke and Carol haven't already said. I will say that I think it's very creative!

I'd like to add that I took a look at your website and you do some impressive work - can't believe all the awards you've won (first place no less) in such a short amount of time (and at a young age). Congrats.

And congratulations on winning first place in the 'Arizona Highways' photo contest!
I agree with Luke's suggestions and I like this card very much.
The 'C' is brilliant! Fantastic idea. Makes me want to look for an 'F' in my images.. lol.

Is the phone number a cell phone or a land line? If you move, you will want to be able to take that number with you and portablility of he number will help. I had my land line number on my first business card and once I moved, it was about two years or so before people stopped commenting that the phonoe number didn't work anymore, or was wrong. That didn't go far for making a good impression.
Beyond that, I don't think I have seen very many cards anywhere near that nice.

Thanks for the feedback guys! really appreciate it. Here is a revised version with different font, the seed on the bottom cloned out. What do you guys think?

I usually place my actual Email address on the card, to make access easier, but of course that's a personal choice,
