Calling Card Design (First Draft)
****I edited this card design already.Special thanks to everyone who contributed comments! Thanks to Gary who gave a lot of input on this as well. I really appreciate comments since they really do help in developing design skills :)****
I wanted a crisp looking calling card which made use of my favorite type face - Helvetica, as well as incorporating the themes found in my folio. I will be switching Wordpress themes soon, Hopefully I can still incorporate the black-gothic border theme I’ve grown to love so much. I also like snippets of pink in between, but since I’m dealing with a tangible medium here (like Print) I opted to stray away from the Pink elements. What do you think?
Edited: Now I have a version 2!
* I started working on my version 2 today. I think simplicity works well. Thanks and cheers to all of the constructive comments in fine tuning this calling card (Theres so much to take into consideration, and I believe that simplicity is one of the priorities I want to make in this card) I edited the following:
- minimized graphic detailing on top and on the bottom of the page
- arranged Helvetica typography
- utilized gradients, and minimal vector graphics
- took out lower border - minimal graphic detail on top

Honestly I think the black-and-white is quite elegant. The only part that throws me is the thin row of patterning at the bottom, but that is just an opinion ;)

The black and white theme looks cool. But the top left hand design looks a little too bold. How about finer lines?
My humble views.
