is that garamond you're using?
i'd change the typeface, there's plenty of better serifs.

looks better tho fella.
try it in spot colours, yellow with blue 'blueman' logo on one side then reverse that on the other yell on blue.. know what i mean?lose the black, and 2 cols is cheaper to print anyway.

Yes it's garamond, that's what I used for my logo typeface so I figured that I'd stick with that.
I'm printing it full colour process.

Think you need to defo ditch the horrible orange/sick looking colour -this and the typography makes you come across as a graphic design cowboy.
The Blue seems better.

#3 and #4 look good, much better than the old one.

Though you've cleaned this up a bit, it still looks to me like you work for an insurance company... here are some thoughts.
1. your logotype does not necessarily need to match your copy type.
2. a layout as rigid as this is always going to look "stiff" especially with the logo in the upper corner as large as it is. You need to play...

it is much better but it still looks too conservative for a photographer/designer-looks like a bank or something. I think part of it is the typeface

why not keep it simple?
black type on white
classy and refined

That 'e' in your logo looks pissed!
- redFridge0
why not choose like 5 of your best photos, and print them on one side of the card (crop in an interesting way) put you rinfo in white on a blue on the back... then it's like a little piece of art for people to stick to their monitor or wall.
im just not feeling the card
- Blueman0
Yes I was thinking about that, but then the cost grows..

forget the full color process. try the blue on a nice white textured stock with some embossing. keep the garmond for your logo and use a nice sans for your info.

(oct 19 04, 09:33)"couldn't agree more, i really think you need to rethink this one from the ground up... i get no sense of creativity from it.

That's why I originally didn't want everything to line up to a grid, but that's what everyone was talking about,, and now it's too stiff....
I'll change the type and I think that I'll put the logo where it was, it's just like on the site.
