Is everyone a minimalist? I kinda like to uneven spacing of the letters. It's not what everyone else has. It's supposed to be the sloppy style.

I know with me it's just personal preference. But what you need to ensure with these things is that they are easy to read and that the eye isn't drawn away from the text by too much background clutter.

I isn't just about ease to read (yes that is important) but what what is being said from a lot of people is that it doesn't look like you have intentionally set the type. So as far as whether you like it loose or not, you look like you just slapped it on there. If that is the impression you want to send off, well then that is your choice.

Personally I think you need to choose a better type faces anyways. I would also try to add a little bit more contrast between your background and your text, without adding more strokes. Just some thoughts.

If i were you, id probably start over with it.

It's just too much effects. Personally i have a severe allergy to anything that is over using Photoshop's stroke and bevel effects, and from having a look your work at your website, this card would not do your business any justice.

I would also look into investing some proper fonts.

What im trying to say is, based on the work you have on your website, you can do alot better.
