New Business Card

I decided to do some work on my old business card, this involved throwing the old out and starting again.
I was getting sick of looking at my old card that I basically threw together far too quickly, and as a result didn’t like handing it over to people, because I felt it sucked… should’ve put more effort into it to begin with.
But that is history now, for my new card I decided to do a bit of research on current trends, and look around for some good ideas, I came upon a lot of good ideas, and of course some terrible ones as well.
Once I had an idea down of what I wanted my new card to look like I started designing it in photoshop, I actually got it down pretty quickly, only about two hours. I then asked a few people their opinions, made a couple of changes based on that, and then simply left it alone for a couple of days.
I wanted to leave it for a little while, so that I could have the chance to come back before anything was finalized and have a fresh look at it, to make sure I still liked what I was looking at. I think that is an important part of any design, I find if I work on a design one day, a lot of it will be based on my mood that day, but that is never a good idea, sure a design should have an element of your own personality on it, but it’s main focus should be about setting a mood, not being controlled by one.
So after giving it a couple of days, I approached it again, and I still quite liked it. I made a few further adjustments, to alignment, sizing, and colouring, until I was happy with the result.
All that was left was sending it off for printing, I decided to send it to Australian Trade Printers, their prices were very reasonable, they were helpful, friendly and prompt.
