That's pretty badass, but don't you think you should include some graphic that depicts magic in some form or another?

I also think that putting the "tendrils" in the lower right hand corner of the big card would help with the overall composition of the card, and help keep the focus on your info. Remember: design should serve content, not the other way around.

Other than that, nice paint splatters!

(Actually , now that I look at it, maybe try removing the tentacles and just going bare on that side.)

I guess I like the top right the best.

personally i would go minimalistic
just enough info for them to find you
and just enough visuals for them to remember you by the card
 
Pretty cool use of photo shop and some cool brushes, but there are some things that are hard to read.

I can't really see your number ,I suggest moving the splatters away from any text or making the opacity just low enough so you can see it but low enough so all text is clear.

Cool design though.

Less is more. As cool as that looks, it looks like some kid did some work with photoshop and brushes, as opposed to a professional looking card.

The branding reminds me too much of Daniel Madision. Might be a bad thing.

Overall good composition. As others have pointed out, I suggest you remove the tendrils as they are a bit distracting.

being a designer, especially when it comes to advertising, you want things to be legible. The font and colors you chose might not be the greatest choices. Over all, it's a great design, but people would much rather hire you if you DIDN'T remind them of creepy things like "The Ring"

If you're going to keep the design (which looks wicked cool) then I suggest, for readability, make the text red.. or, make the splatters red.. something so it's distinguished.

As a working graphic designer, I think Jakeh's suggestion is good. Make the text red. I like the top two smaller cards because I think the bottom doesn't look right. The "tentacles" have a gradient whereas nothing else (the paint splatters) has the gradient. I think that throws it off a bit. Other than that, good job. I think with the changes I just mentioned they'll look sweet. Peace!

Great advice that was something i wanted to do but since i used a black and white laser printer i used black and white . but as soon as i get a color laser ill do it
