Please C&C my first business card...

Looks actually better without they rays.

for an extra $20 i could add this to the back side... with some negative space to the left maybe?

I think that would work well, you cover both areas. My cards has such a lame backing, text only

If you can get a sample done, go for it. See how it looks since I would rather see a final print before getting loads printed just incase it doesn't look right. Out of interest, what company are you using for cards?

You might want to re-think about using a photo on the back side. Sometimes you may want to hand-write a note, phone number etc on the backside. Right now you can't.

vistaprint.co.uk probably poor quality but there too cheap not to try. ive seen one from someone else and the quality was good enough

Have a look into Moo.com

I got 100 for £10 and had 20 different designs which was nice. Drop them an email for a sample pack. EDIT : Just checked, Vistaprint is cheaper by miles.

aggain crop will cut off image borders

not a very high res image but do u think its high enough for the buisness card?

Generally I don't care for photos on a business card, but I actually like the design here!

Definite like what you did changing the color of your name and varying the font sizes...Reads a lot better...

I have used vistaprint twice now and if using them, get a proof, even if just electronic...and get premium glossy cards. this will look nice. Getting the proof is your key to getting a free reprint if they screw it up. Good luck

I would say get 2 or 3 different cards done. Once you order, in a few days you will get emails from vistaprint with all these offers for free cards and such...take advantage of that...

I personally like the last image, I would keep the baby shot as well and get those printed, I also like the ray of light , having a few sets of business cards is a good idea

thanks for the help guys. think im going to get one with baby and ray one with baby on plane black and one of the couple dancing

btw the couple is me and my girlfriend ( i set up the shot lighting etc and my gf's mum took it) i did lots of pp on it too...
