Business card

Process

Among all cards I received from other people before, two stood out for me. One is a square name card. The square shape felt fun and easy to hold. I felt it is more inviting for a conversation rather than just giving formal business information. The other card is from a filmmaker. She had an image at the back of her card with children playing balloons. I assumed that picture is from her film. I felt this small image is an efficient and effective way to express who you are and what you do.

The image at the back of the card represents creativity, fun, and uniqueness. It is actually from part of my first P5 drawing. It represents the combination of technology and art, which is exactly what I do. Maybe, people cannot tell it is drew from code, but the geometric shape also expresses a sense of technology, coolness, and smartness to me, while the color remains soft.

I looked up some reference of business card design. For the front of the card with my information, I was inspired by this picture on the right side. I felt it was clear info display. It has a diagonal composition, and that feels dynamic to me compared to all centered information. There is also a line in the middle divides information into two sections. I tried to mimic that composition in my own card.
