And the shot on the bottom was my hubby's idea...trying to show diversity in my work but I had a great wedding shot in there....I may be switching back.

Print it out actual size... I can't imagine the top left, bottom right, and your biz name will even be recognizable.

nice card layout, but I'd put the wedding shot back in! It kind of looks like that old Sesame Street song "One of these things doesn't look like the other...!"

Well, the logo is a first for me. I downloaded Illustrator and I was able to combine the text to make the logo. I then tweaked it in photoshop..I agree, I am putting the wedding shot back in. If I keep this template.

I agree that you need to print it out and look at it. The type will be WAY to small and dark to read. I spent two whole days tweaking mine, and this is what I learned.

1. The font will be harder to read than you think, both in color and in size. If you are going to to a smaller font, it has to be high contrast, like black on white.

2. I tried the multi-picture approach, but they just look way to small. If you need to do a picture, stick with just one.

Lose the photos on your card. Design a good logo with all of your info on the card and refer your clients to your website and sell your photos on your site....not a small piece of paper. ;) PM sent.

Thanks, I have actually started a second card template and I got rid of all the images on the front and I may go with on or two on the back...but I am at work and can't post it since it is on my computer at home..... :)

It is basically the logo above with my information below the logo.

I would lose the embossing on all 3 logos and your contact info. Use a non-gradient background as well.
