I’ve always been intrigued by graphic design. When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a designer. Long story short: it wasn’t so great as I thought it would be (I came to that conclusion after about a half year of graphic design school) so I gave up that dream.
However, I’ve always designed my own logos, magazines for school, flyers and websites. Now that my photography gets more serious, I decided to create my own business cards.
It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I find it difficult to make decisions in general (I’m quite a nitpicker), but decisions about anything design (or photography) related is a whole new world of frustration.
Anyway, in the end I chose  this design. It’s printed on 400 grams matte paper. The logo on the front is coated with Spot-UV to give it a more distinguished look.
I’m quite happy with it :) Let me know what you think!
Ps. Yes, the cards aren’t aligned completely straight. And yes, I blurred my telephone number. I don’t want everyone to call me ;)

Looks pretty sleek.
Love the Black/White/Red design – Strong colors.
One thing though – It’s not immediately recognizable that I’m looking on a business card of a photographer. The line ‘Photographer’ itself, is bit too small maybe? Too hidden?
Except that – Me like :)
Good point. I really struggled with the ‘photographer’ word. I wanted the line to be the same height as the line on the front, so that gave me few options.
But I think it doesn’t really matter in real life situations anyway. I mean; before giving a card, people have probably seen me taking photos or I’ve had a conversation with them about photography.
Thanks for the comment!
