I like the all green horizontal one (without the rule) and the all green vertical one. For some reason the black seems to clash with the green for me. They all look really cool and eye-catching though.

I like the one on the right in the second row... my suggestion would be to change:

Graphic Designer/
Illustrator

to:

Graphic Designer

you might want to distort your contact info.

I agree that the black doesn't fly with the green, a dark gray might work. I prefer the horizontal ones to the vertical ones but I would give your objects a little more breathing room from the edges and each other.

Oh yeah... I meant to mention that too. Especially watch the edges.

Clean, interesting. Nice work. I agree with everyone as far as bringing the text in from the edges. I like the typography as well. Overall, I like the last front and the back with all green text. Kudos!

alright! cool, thanks alot guys!

chalsema, thanks! the more i look at it, the more i agree the black needs to go!

morea, consider it done. good idea!

'nubbin, done.
'nubbin(2), I see what you're saying about the edges, are you talking about where the type almost meets the graphic? if so, would you suggest i make the copy smaller? it's already 7 pt. I'll play with it.

chalsema(2), will do!

thanks, g-man! I'm kinda partial to that last one as well.

which one? these are all fronts. I haven't decided to do a back yet.

you should keep your type at least 3/16" away from the edges of the B/C and you really shouldn't go below 8 pt. on a business card. It looks like you're going for 1 or 2 color printing... consider using a screen of the green at some point in your card to liven it up a bit. Some shops charge more for that, though. Otherwise, looks good.

thanks, jd!

The text is too close to the graphic, as well as too close to the edges. It would be a little risky having those cards cut, you might end up losing some info. As far as making the text smaller I would try playing with maybe the tracking and stuff, although emails are tough to split that may be a problem.
