Business cards finished



I spent a few hours this week designing business cards. For the most part I seemed to be making them more and more complicated trying to add meaning or a narrative to the design. After testing about 20 designs on vista prints website I decided that the best idea was to pic out 2 of my favourite character designs. Designs that were not made for a specific narrative and don’t have a meaning that could be misinterpreted. The design of the card is simple and bold with a large character on the front and a small character on the reverse with my contact info in a bold and simple font. The design is functional but the characters add some appeal to it and demonstrate my work.

My original idea was to create a card sized book but due to me being ill for the last month and the upcoming cop deadline I didn’t think I could get the book finished and made to a quality I would be happy with. I would rather use a simpler professionally finished card that a more complex but poorly executed design. I still plan on creating the book for our second trip to Hanbury Hall.

For now I need to finish my website and make sure it is up and running in time for the symposium.
