We aren't saying it's not possible. But myspace does have its restrictions. You are or would be effectively just skinning it.

In my opinion, most designers prefer facebook, as they are less likely to come over a page that burns their retina.

I know it's possible... it's the why bother, unless it links back to where people can actually find you... like your REAL web site.

Wrong all myspace links are no follow now, they even go to the trouble of putting an auto forward no follow so there is absolutely no sign of a link back

[tommylogic]

well that explains why all the Google links disappeared then. That's OK, I set that to private anyway> It's such a total waste of time. All it got me was people asking if I'd make them a layout... UGGGGHHH.

Well I saw your post before you had any replies and to be honest I did not know what to comment at that stage because your business card gave an amateurish feel - sorry.

But now after I saw your NICE work I am keen on giving you my humble opinion:
That business card is simply not doing you any favour and myspace is not your effective route!

If you are serious about building a career in photography and you are up for the challenge, you need to look into a distinguished brand identity style and a decent website... your work already stands out of the crowd and so should your business image!~ PEACE ~

That's the best piece of advice you'll get. In all honesty there's massive group of Flash designers that offer really good deals on photography sites and they will show off your work in a much better way.

I'm a big fan of Flash sites for photographers they have a great style to them but one thing to take into account is if you google Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography - Google Search

The ones that appear top are all very simple static web sites, all they do is link from images to image, you could get one of these built for at least $700 depending where you are based.....

....lol, ok, a little background. i have no money, im 23, still in college. if i had that kind of money to spend on someone else to do my web site id be well off lol. so im broke. cant too much afford anything while im in school. plus the jobs down here in NC dont pay shit....trust me.

if you have no money what i would suggest is until you do have money for a proper website, i would build a site on geocities.yahoo.com/
they offer free webspace the only bad thing is that ud have ad's on your page plus the domain will be somthing like www.geocities.yahoo.com/yourwebsite its quite annoying but id say its better than myspace,

beside all that your shots are really good and i really like the barcode logo. but yea the business card needs rethinking its really nnice i think, but u need to be a bit more imaginative
