My honest opinion for what it's worth..... some of these things may already have been mentioned..... Word of warning this is just my personal opinion.... I am by no means a graphics designer, and my own business card is amazingly simple. Which is how I prefer most things...... Let me say I do like the colors chosen and I like the image of you both in the corner. First, the design seems a bit busy to me. I feel there are too many graphics, and too much text spread out all over. Second, if you're advertising your photography services and art what does the world map mean? Third, as already pointed out, the camera looks very much like a video cam...... Fourth.... suspect more than one font type was used..... stick to one for consistency. Fifth..... from a business perspective I think the name of your business and the name of your website url should be the same. Creative Adventures is well..... creative..... and I like it, but your URL is kemalandsheila.com... if someone is looking for you by name they won't find you so easily. Six.... I think I already mentioned that I like the pic of you and Kemal in the corner, but wouldn't it make more sense to show a piece of artwork or a photo that you've created instead? Over all I think it's a good start but to be honest... other than the fact that there's a blurb about Photo and 3d art..... if I were a potential client, I really wouldn't be too sure what you were trying to sell...... I also think your business card should match the style and feel of your website..... I've scanned one of the cards that I use an example..... all it has is my business name, address and phone # and website on it..... Now that I think about it more..... you may want to consider two separate business cards..... one specifically for photography and one for 3D..... I've one of my cards as an example.... I have a few different ones......

I am, therefore I create.......
