    Front of card: Looks good. I like that you added your name but it blend in... I wish it stood out.. You know it should jump at you. It gets lost in all the lights and buttons...

    Back of card: I wonder why you did not choose to work in Landscape instead of limit yourself to the small size of portrait. No twitter account?

    It is streched but it wont matter because people will understand what it is.. People without a design eye wont care... Just get your phone ringing and your likes up!
    Overall your names on it and if you think people would like it than go for it... Did you leave yourself enough room so that when printed and cut you wont have any of your design missing?

    Thx dude for ur feedback! Yea idk how i can make my name stand out more on the front. I chose landscape because i like for it to be held in ur hand like a real mini cdj or something. I hate twitter! Lol and yea i left space in the actual jpeg for the chance of it getting cutt off. Anyways, thx

    I'd make use of that screen. Put some info on there or even a pic of you on the decks.
    The idea is cool but I feel like the CDJ taking up a lot of space. I know you want to use that pic but it might be using too much space on your card.
    even consider wrapping your name or some keywords like live sound, dj, weddings, birthdays, etc around the jog wheel.

    Hate twitter? I take back everything i said lol... Looks good and I did assume that was the idea... But now that I think more of it it sounds like it owuld be easy to hold and just flip it over.

    Maybe add some drop shadow... You might benefit from this...

    when that is printed small as a car the front will be damn near impossible to read, also you have had to squash the CDJ and it just looks odd imo, you'd be better off having the cdj in its normal aspect ratio and with the blank space above or below it, putting your name/info, other than that you could just use the screen and put the info on the screen like its supposed to be there, easiest way of doing that (i assume you own these since its on the card) is just make a cd with all that info as the id3Tag and thn just take a really nice picture. ive seen this done to great effect before.

    on the back, lose the texture/effect on the text, it looks cheesy and "oh hey i just got photoshops" and makes harder to read, i agree with fredrock about putting the text landscape also,

    if you use an effect like this outer glow it will make the font more visible..using the same color as the cdj lights..also i would put a space between all the links
