Really nice looking card

.

BUT........

The only part i dont like is the "photographer" parts going around the top corners

Thank you Alan for your reply! Tried taking the "photographer" part away, what do you think?

suggest put your name top left and photographer top right
don't like to sound picky but I think an image of the bird flying into the frame towards the reader would have more impact.

it's a great looking card. maybe fit some wording of photographer in there. i think leaving the top blank gives it a lot more impact. maybe have a double row below in a .5 of a smaller font.
agree that bird face on would have more impact but i don't feel this is critical, there is something otherworldly about it flying into the blue bg like that.

Magnus, Are you getting this printed double sided?

[Mark] Agree with you that it looks better having the top blank

[Tom] Haven't decided for sure yet whether I should go with double sided or not. Obviously an option would be to have nothing but the logoype on one side and the text on the other. Not sure what would be the best?

What do you think about the color of the card: too dark? Thanks!

Magnus, I have the 'normal' front face and then a model release printed on the back so I always have one to hand if needed.

I don't think it is to dark as shown, I would ask for a sample printed first before comitting more money.
