I like all three, but if I HAD to choose it would be the 3rd one. Whew, that enough thought for the day, I'm takin' a nap.

For starters, you might want to check the spelling of you last name...it's SteveNson, right?
Other than that, I like option C. :)

Ehh, I think your card should have one of your images on it.

I like c the best.

Funny, I was going to choose C too!
I like the clouds and I think it's best to have obvious pixelation so it doesn't look like poor printing.
Hmmm...maybe I can hire you to do a Brunsli card design. Do you know a cheap printer?

Wow, C is the front runner. I have to admit that this is fun & I am looking forward to what you choose for me!
Anon 1, thx, I peeped that & updated. One day I will be better, I promise.
Renea - Thx, I thought about it but I have so many, it is hard to choose, so I decided to come up with something totally different. Thx for the love though!!!
Brunsli - Easy as done! I have used Great FX (http://www.greatfxbusinesscards.com) for quite sometime & love their quality.
I did some cards for Cousin Dee & she wanted to try another printer & was disappointed with the quality.

Maybe it is the graphics on my computer, they all look about the same to me.

Now, I'm a HUGE fan of your photos, but as a P.R. person, I'm thinking that while we all know that the flowerdy stuff is a "t", I don't know that everyone else will. It almost just looks like a decoration. I've seen you use that design a lot, so obviously you love it, but maybe incorporating it somewhere else on the card or pulling the "T" out some more?
Otherwise, I think I like the crispness of D.

I like D - it's a lot more professional looking and has a great lines to it.

I am so feeling the love & really appreciate the honest feedback & constructive criticism!
Sugar - You are right & I am now thinking that you & Suite Suzy have been talking about it.
I have come up with a clever compromise to the vine T that will give me the look I want but make things much clearer.
Sometimes my love of the abstract & art interferes with reality. I guess thats what art is all about?...

I love the vines, but don't let that T get lost! You are going to be kicking ass all over this country soon with your photos. I don't want people to be doing write-ups talkinga about "Hot new photographer Afari Stevenson-Howard has burst onto the scene..." Feel me?
By
Sugar, at Wednesday, October 31, 2007 11:56:00 PM EDT
I'm in total agreement with Sugar. Generally speaking, the "T," while absolutely slammin', does get lost in the actual design and it CAN end up looking like AFARI instead of TAFARI. Can you make the "t" a little stronger somehow?
Initially I was leaning toward D myself because its simplicity, but I don't know if people will digg the pixelation as a design element alone--without the clouds. So, since there's enough going on otherwise, go with a less-pronounced version of the clouds--maybe a or b--I think I like b better.
BTW, I sent a reply back about my stuff, but it keeps bouncing back. Haven't figured out why--but using the same eddress. Will try again...

Sugar & Tamra - I am feeling you both! I have made a modification & Suit Suzy thought it was great so once the winner is announced, I will post the new look.

It's late almost 1:00 a.m
Either they are all the same, or it's time for me to go to bed.
I don't see the difference.
Are they?

Shai & Coloredgirlswhohaveconsidered, there are slight differences in the background intensity of the clouds & the 4th has no clouds.

Hello Tafari,
I would pick the 3rd one, the clouds look great. I think that your card is very busy with the square pixels in the background under your name. I think the clouds look better. FYI, I have been in the printing business for 18 years, but you are the one that has to love it!
Good luck,
Sophia
