New Business Cards

I had created business cards digitally in second year but I felt that upon reflection, I did not give enough time to these business cards and they do not look as aesthetically pleasing or interesting enough to warrant me ordering at least fifty of them. I decided to have another go at it. Where I went wrong last time is I feel I was too concerned about making the business cards look good on a graphic design logo when what I should have been doing was showcasing my work. The best business cards I've seen and collected at Thoughtbubble from illustrators and other artists always stand out and reflect instantly who they are and what their techniques and processes are as practitioners. I needed my business cards to do the same, give someone a clear idea as to who I am instantly through the image on the front.

I used a background i had created previously for my Processes and Production animation Swinging Through Time. I felt that visually the image is very successful as it shows my line-work and a use of colour and shading. Furthermore, so it would not distract attention away from my name I reduced the opacity. When I received the business cards from Moo Print, I was very satisfied with them and feel they are of a professional standard.
