I have now created a business card in the theme of my CV/Portfolio. The card is standard UK business card size and the corner where the "fold" is located in the corner will be cut off because normal rectangular cards are a bit boring. The card has my new mascot, Ernie the Bear, and my contact details on the back. The slogan "2D, 3D and everythin in between" is designed to attract interest in the same way as the shop titles "Home Store and More" and "Bed Bath and Beyond" are - everyone will wonder what the "inbetween/more/beyond" is... The front of the card is designed to be a postcard-style montage of images, labelled "INTERESTED? PLEASE TURN OVER" to catch peoples' attention.
Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteGood idea working with the power of words and playing with it. Unfortunately, I have to tell you I find both sides of the business card really busy. I suggest you to get rid of the waterdrop background in the back and leave it clean and white. The front: think of three of the images you really like and use them. Don't try to fit them all in a business card because they loose visual impact.
Any changes to your business card? Tom, if you don't agree with me, you can tell me in class. I give you my advice and hope that you at least try to do the changes that I tell you. Give it a go and if you are sure about why you want to do your business card like this, then just tell me the reasons (or write them down in your blog).
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see your printed portfolio in class. Also, need to see progress in your website (if you're planning to have one). If you're keeping the blog, start unifying it with the rest of your branding (typo, colours, imagery).
