Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I'm going to be donating some prints to a local weirdo gatheri.. I mean UFO conference, and if I can make some business cards up to put them with the pictures, maybe I'll get some clients or more people to buy prints. I might be able to print them at work for free, but I'm not sure. At least some samples probably, and hopefully I can do that tomorrow, but I can change the design again before then.
Yeah, I totally jacked the idea from the High Voltage album cover. I love that one.

IMHO:
The big lighting bolt is just a little to crazy.
The colors don't match anything else in the image.
My eye keeps staring at that, rather than your name and contact info.
Develop the color scheme a little more.
The orange works, maybe a little green to go with the stroke on the text.
Also, why lighting bolts?
What does that have to do with photography?
I guess it would make sense if these cards are a one time thing for the conference.
One last thing, I'd say move the main element down a little, there's not enough room above "photography"
Hope I am of some assistance. |

Keep the big lightning, but make it a single color. kick out anything else and straighten the letters. don't use outlines, glows, bevels. I'll be back in ten minutes with my approach...

| Think it looks terrible to be honest, far too garish. |

| It's good for a sci-fi clientele, but I wouldn't use this as a general business card. |

Thanks for the suggestions. Eyewave, that one does look more like a regular business card, and maybe that's a good thing.
I'll work on a variation.
This was what inspired the design, by the way:

Here's another version.. I guess the lightning bolt can go, but I kind of like it.
