I know it possibly looks crowded, but i want it to be busy. Also i think fonts opacity needs lowering? would any1 agree with that suggestion?

I like it, but a business card needs more infomation.

well the ones i was shown at college only had names... one was just a jack from a deck of cards O.o, i think its ment to be a buisness style card with our names just for teacher to learn our names.

Well, it depends if you want a business card or not.

For a business card you need something plain and clear, simple but informative.

What you've created is a signature for a forum.

Agreed, a business card should be plain but effective.

Here's a google image of a decent business card layout:

Has a nice look to it, well the darker background / overlay. The pics dont suit the backgound / overlay, especialy luigi. The text is nice, if the piece is a 'name card' then the text is perfect as it stands out. Could do with a border, 3 px black, 2 px white, 1 px black imo.

Ye luigui got onto it because my mate sent me image, i asked him to pick one, didnt think he'd pick that one lol. I was thinkin of doing like 3-4 copies, one with images, one without... this one, and i could remove luigui.

Also 3px or 2px on the text? i can try it, its got 1px black at the moment.

Text is fine imo. I would add a border to the whole piece, black - white - black, 1 px each.

Not bad brushes Smavid.

Colour your background though to suit the render(s) like I have with my Avril Lavigne sig.

God do people not think of out but video games? Come on i know if your in the gaming industry it would be good, but try something different than video games!

Maybe a decks in background or a guitar and work from there.

Sorry just had to put that accross
