thats it.
That's the FIRST thing I thought of when I opened it. It looks too vaginal—like I'm looking at the uterus. OMG. That's scary.
I would definitely try again—unless you're designing this for an OB/GYN. =P

Heh. Even if you are, it's still too graphical. ;)

That's all matter of opinion.

There is a time and place for vertical business cards. Sometimes they work better that way, some times they don't. I certainly don't rule them out.
**Edit: Also, definitely a vagina.
But of course!

I'm having a hard time understanding if all of these ideas are merely jokes or someone seriously trying.
I don't mean to be rude at all if you are being serious, it's just, well, you're designs are all over the place. You've gone from a passport looking business card to a picture of a vagina. None of which in my opinion offer any real design or layout professionalism.
If you are being serious, I wonder how you could possibly be selling yourself as a graphic designer yet you clearly can not even put together a half decent design for your own card? Personal taste is one thing, but overall design-sense is something hard to miss.
I believe Mr. Jozsef Kurucity is likely a very good designer and is having a well deserved laugh at all of us. A little googleing reveals he is a senior designer for a well staffed print magazine called RUSH in UAE.

I'm actually relieved to discover this. ;-)
the magazine's site's not much better than the business card...
hardy har har silly americans love my vagina drawings!

But why waste our time??? Why is this funny to him? I mean, if he IS in fact a senior designer for a reputable print magazine, then how could he even have the time to toy with us???
Annoying.

This is getting a bit silly now. Can the admin check to see who registered this user and see if it's someone else just having fun with another name?
At first I felt embarrassed for the designer, but now I'm feeling embarrassed for anyone who's taken the time to critique this work. If this really is your best attempt, I'm sorry for being so crude, but I don't know how to sugar coat it. This is a horribly phallic looking symbol and even has the hourglass shape of a woman's body. I think you love2do something else, not design...

Oh for pete's sake...
Yeah why should I do something like that? To toy with you in this nice web site? Is there any sense in that? C'mon.
It wasn't my intention to design something what will looks like woman body or vagina. I added that blue lines coz of water. And swimming. Not the woman body. Wow. But maybe I posted it too much early. Actually, in black and white looks different...
Hmm, seems I have to do it again.
Anyway, this thing is not that urgent at the moment. And I see people becoming mistrustful here. Unfortunately :(
Anyway, thank you again for all your comments and sorry if you think I wasted your time.
PS: Magazine's site will be redesign.
Your defense just confirmed you were messing with us. Water?! Have a Happy New year man your laugh at our expense is done.
