Business Cards

INSPIRATION-> FINAL PRODUCT-> EST TIME: 3 hours For my business cards I chose 3 different styles and vibes to do. My first one I chose a brighter blue color because not only is it my favorite color, it is appealing to look at and is frequently used in traveling ads. I put a white rectangle in front of a photo to contrast and add layers. I chose a nice and clean font, easily readable but still pretty to look at. The black and white one is my least favorite, I expected it to come out a lot better than it did.

STEM is more "serious" and by the books, where as a traveling agency has that but is appealing to peoples desire to see beautiful things in the world. The final one is my favorite. I love the minimalistic vibes, the neutral color scheme and clean font. I think the way the back is set up is cute and still gets the information across easily.

In my Table of Contents I used the color of the software we used in the title of the project, a small detail to help differentiate. I used the spell check in InDesign at least 5 times before finalizing the project to make sure no spelling errors remained.           This class proved to be difficult and frustrating, but with ma...

  I used 2 generic photos to create something far more interesting. The simple cloud or single tree standing near sunset is a typical desktop background, however I overlaid the cloud over the leaves of the tree and changed the Color Balance to add more of a pink, cotton candy look. I used the eraser tool around the blue clouds, with a low opacity to keep the fluffy, cotton ball- like look. To fix the background where the leaves poked out, I used the Clone Stamp tool and selected parts of the background to cover up the leaves. I think it came out pretty, and almost magical.
