After seeing examples of second years business cards in a seminar with Fred, as well as looking at other first students blogs, I have decided it is time to create an 'identity' for myself. This isn't a marked project, it is just something I wanted to do to improve my blog.
To create my business cards, I have used the same process that I used to create posters in the 'communication is a virus' brief. This is to draw letters (CRG - my initials) by hand with fine writer, from typography books and from downloaded fonts, and then to scan them in. I then live traced the letters in Illustrator, and then took these images back over to Photo shop to create my business cards.
Letterforms
Experiments
Adding Colour
To start with, I have used the same colour scheme that we used in the 'communication is a virus' brief.
I think these colours are more personal to me, but at the same time could still appeal to a male audience.
More Experimentation
I decided to take a step back from colour and try some more designs in black and white.
Final Business Card
This is my final business card (for now). I am also using this logo for my blog re-design. I changed the colours of the logo based on the colour scheme of my blog. I don't really need a business card at the moment, so there is no doubt I'll be creating many more experiments before I actually need one.
