InDesign - Business Cards

InDesign
~Business Cards~

For this project, we were asked to create three business cards through InDesign while incorporating the previous logo we made in Illustrator CC. The three layouts I designed are below!



Business Card 1 - Front
Business Card 1 - Back

For this first card, I wanted to keep the layout clean and sleek while still being creative. I didn't want my logo to be on the front of my card because I felt as though it would be too cramped. Therefore, I chose to keep the front, simple and sleek while still maintaining the design. Also, the footprints guide the viewer's eyes to the edge of the card, which would cue them to flip it over to find my information. Honestly, this is my favorite design out of all three. The colors are calming and arent too harsh on the eyes.




Business Card 2 - Front

For the second business card, I wanted to create the second version of my first design. I love cool-toned colors and wanted to emphasize the camera out of my logo this time. Therefore, I placed it on the front. Then I put my name and contact information on the right to give the illusion that the camera is either capturing the 'details' or exposing the words. Also, like the other two cards, I wanted to keep my logo on the back of my card.

Business Card 3 - Front

 Lastly, for this third card, I went with colors that remind me of a galaxy. I brought the original coloring of my logo to life. I went with the classic business card look and then added some pizazz with the gradient half and circles. The gradient matches the footprints of my logo on the back. Which resembles the colors of a sunrise. The deep blue resembles the night sky and the original blue used in my logo. This design was done strategically to make sure this card wasn't dull.

    These business cards looks very well put together. The colors compliment each other and your logo is something that I could imagine seeing as part of a large company. I like how each card show a completely different style but still provides the same affect. However, the first two cards seems to relate more than the last one. I think if you were to add a small border to one of the other cards it would tie them all in together. Overall, your business cards look great and I think you did an amazing job.

Photoshop - Somewhere

Photoshop ~Somewhere~ Somewhere, a place that we were asked to place ourselves. The purpose of this piece is to put ourselves in an area that we would love to be or haven't been. Above, is either a picture that was taken from a drone or a helicopter. Accurately, this photo captures the NYC Marathon runners. I chose this photo because I want to one day run a marathon. As a retired student-athlete, I love competing and training for a goal.   Above is the picture I chose for myself. I had a friend sit on top of their car and take this for me with their iPhone. We both thought it was a great idea to run with the sun beaming down on my right side to create the correct running shadow. I chose to use an iPhone for capturing this to match the blurry effect as much as possible. I will say I enjoyed choosing this for my first somewhere experiment because it wasn't overly challenging. It allowed me to focus on the small details of masking with photoshop and using the ad

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait- "Be True. Be You. Be Kind."

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait "Be True. Be You. Be Kind." I believe mantras inspire and give confidence to people so they can do or become whatever their heart desires. Furthermore, mantras have the ability to bring together large groups of people for one common goal.  For my self-portrait propaganda poster, I chose the quote “Be True. Be You. Be Kind.” because it personifies who I am. This mantra was first told to me by my mother right before the beginning of my sophomore year. It has stuck with me ever since. Self-confidence is something that many people struggle with on a daily basis, because of their inability to “ignore the noise.” Too many people are told they look ugly, are fat, or have something else wrong with them. Those negative words can destroy individuals with very little self-confidence. Being true, being you, and being kind gives people the confidence they need to ignore the noise and simply be happy with who they are. I believe everyone is perfectly
