Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your design as-is isn't very legible, and not very memorable. I'd suggest that, when you get a chance, you take a graphic design class. But for now, I'll give you some pointers.

Your name is bigger than everything else, which is good, but the placement and font make it not stand out. That's bad, because that means people won't remember it. You have a lot of things centered, which is an inefficient use of white space. White Space is what a designer uses to direct the eye around the page, and assign significance to specific elements. When I first glance at your card, the thing my eye is drawn to is the art. Normally this would be desirable, but for a business card it is not. People take your card because they want your information, so that should always be the most important part of the card.

Make the art smaller, and align it to the lower-right corner. Maybe fade it a bit. Try a font alignment like so:



I'm pretty rusty, but this is a much more efficient use of white space and clearly directs the eye to the information. Font-wise, I used a font that is simple and easy to read from a distance. The most important thing I suggest with your new font choice is that it be one with both capital and lower case letters. Serif or Sans-Serif is up to you.

The textures you use in the background are pretty distracting, and make it more difficult to pick the text out on the page. If you decide to keep using them, make them a bit more subtle.

'Visual Arts' is a little vague.

I'd shift the email address to be slightly more in-line with the "Illustration, ect." part, and make the dA a bit larger. Possibly put your name a bit higher on the card. But yes, much better.
