Professional Practice - Business Cards

Multiples element of Project

To start with, I chose three drawings with a different colour background to explore different layouts with. Once I have chosen my final design, I can then add each of my drawings to it so I can have a full range of business cards in different colours.

This first design is very plain, a coloured background, illustration, big title, subheading and information. Having all of this on one page is quite fussy and takes away from the overall look.

I really liked the simplicity of this design. Keeping the text and the image of the horse in the same place on each different card really adds to the idea of a batch, as does adding a logo. This logo has now been used on my portfolio and Instagram highlights. The font is also very similar. This is the design I chose in the end. I added a back page using the same icons as I used in my portfolio and Instagram highlights.

I love this design as it feels so professional. The only reason I didn't choose it was because I would struggle with fitting all of my portrait drawings into that box. This would limit how many I could include in my batch. I liked the idea of changing the text colour to match the horse to add extra depth.

These were really fun to design. I love symmetry and these are so unique. However, not all of my drawings work in this layout. Also once printed, the drawings would be so small that they would lose their effect. I love the coloured border and matching text, I hope I can use this design for something else in the future.

This last design is a development of the design above. I love the symmetrical row of horses. The black border and text looks very smart. However, I would struggle to come up with different layouts for the horses. I have taken this concept and used it as a header on my portfolio pages and as a digital header for my Society6 Shop.
