I'd just like to add... for something as small as a business card you really do want to minimise font and colour usage. keep it as simple as possible.. i mean you should never use more than two fonts in a piece of artwork anyway, but the colour of your typography should reflect the picture you are including... if your text is going to be on a dark bit of the pic, take a colour from a light bit and vice versa. Try not to use any colours that don't feature on the image as most of the time it just won't go... feel free to use black or white tho as they are neutral. Font usage should be carefully thought about too.. it can make or break the artwork. It can make something look very professional or very garish. Choose a font that conveys the ideas you want to. Its a good idea to write down a few words you'd like people to think when they see your card and use that as a target.
