Please look at my portfolio and you will see Card 1 and Card 2

I am seeking opinions as to which will replace my current card which is also in the portfolio...

Thanks for your advice

Well, on card #1 you have to spell Portrait right before you can use it.  smile

But I prefer #2.  The model is engaging the viewer, and you want to engage the viewer.  You want someone to remember your card.

Consider a 2nd image on the back, something like your aviation image, or something that shows your range of ability.  Otherwise, my response would be to keep your current card, and use card #2, and supply the appropriate one to specific clients.  Like, model networking party, the aviation card shouldn't be used.  Advertisers networking party, the aviation card would be your first choice.

Card #2 is slightly "friendlier" as far as readable text goes.  One thing that may also help is to use a black border around the text instead of white, to help it stand out more.  I'd only suggest a white border if the text itself was black.

Removing the underline from non-titles may help with the readability, too.

Cute model. smile

The second pose is better, IMO.

But you need cleaner text - choose a more businesslike font and make it crisper against the background, and lose the underlining.

Less is more in this case. Let the image do the talking.

I choose #3, none of the above.
