This looks much cleaner than the last version. The thing I would consider now more than anything is your placement- maybe center your logo over "graphic designer" (and at that, maybe change "graphic designer" to just "graphic design"? Since your name isn't there? Or just leave it with your logo and nothing else written with it. that could be powerful enough on its own. If you do that you'd have to move it to the other side so that people still know what they're hiring you for!)
On the other side, I'm mostly concerned with where you've written "behance" and "linkedin". Are you going to replace those with urls once you get one? Because just stating that you have them doesn't really help anyone find you. It might be better to leave that out unless you give them an actual place to go.
Shelby, as a reminder of what we talked about in class:
Font 1. Pull the design in, away from the edges more... at least 2 pi all around 2. Combine the icon and the words "graphic designer" in a why that creates a single shape 3. Add your name to the front, in a smaller, less-emphasized way and make sure it sits closely enough to the existing logo shape to establish a well-designed relationship with it.
Back 4. Drop Behance and Linkedin reference unless you intend to actually put the long urls there (they might be too long) 5. Add contact address 6. Meet the challenge of making this side supportive of the front, but not a repeat of it. Ghost the logo? Make is smaller? Other options?
I want to encourage you not to loose the nice hexagonal background shapes behind the design... this is a strong foundation upon which to work. It could be used as a background within a shape that contains your logo. (I'm thinking of how you are using it currently on your resume... and encourage you to rethink that approach - in favor of creating a more contained shape to hold those gray hexagonals).
