  Day 4 of my 365 project. I know it’s now portraits or fashion, but I really wanted to start this project so that I could find beauty and potential in all the small things. Plus I enjoy a bit  more my editing skills. I adore all my flowers. And my cats. Soon perhaps I should create a before and after folder.
  
  For the rest (previous and following) of the images you can follow my Facebook Page.

  Last assignment

  “A manufacturer of exclusive, designer lingerie requires a business card design”.

  Well, the first thing that crosses every single person’s mind (trust me, made a statistic with 5 different people - men and women) is that when we are talking about lingerie, some colors cross our mind: pink, black, red.

  So, I started a mental picture of what I wanted to do and a pale pink background was too girlie like, red was too provocative, so I chose the classical black with pink - almost magenta like - type.

  Then, the second step was to show some of the sexiness of the lingerie. For this to happen, I made a statistic again and decided that french words are the most common thing to make the imagination work.

  naughty candy = coquin bonbons

  tres jolie, n’est pas?

  Having the name of the company, the last thing was the image like element from our business card, again pink, because we shouldn’t use in a design more than 3 colors.

  LACE was what we all thought.

  Then, the forth step was to make a front cover and a back cover. On the back side of my business card I wrote the website and on the front name of the company, name of the person, address, telephone number.

  all simple, except the font. Again, let’s show some sexiness with the same font as the famous lingerie icon Agent Provocateur (as you can see, French and pink).

  

  the last thing to do is to decide on which type of paper should this business card be printed. In my opinion, the best impact it would have on a laid type of paper, as defined by charlotte

  • “Laid - A paper that is manufactured with textured lines on its surface. This finish is used mostly for business stationery elements, like letterhead, envelopes and business cards.”

  Well, what do you think?

  PS: co-production of InDesign and Photoshop.

  TYPE AND TYPOGRAPHY EXPERIMENTS

  After 8 weeks of studying and exercising my new acquired acknowledgements, I am now showing (off) the new ideas I have concerning business cards.

  As you can alreadt notice, there is a huge difference between my first house logo and my business cards.

  Image 1 and 2:

  For these two business cards I had some inspiration from this photographer, Vorderman, who has an unique way of seeing things. I loved the idea of a leaflet from which you can crop some contact details, so I overlaid this idea in indesign and made it mine. This way the borders appeared and also the contact details, so you can crop them.

  

  The second image misses a line. After asking a few people what do they think about the card, I’ve noticed that in was too much, the whole picture was becoming too heavy, but I posted it here so that everyone can see the entire process.

  Image 3:
  

  It could most definitely show a wedding photographer. I used a font which resembles the famous Agent Provocateur, as you can see down here:

  

  Because of its classy lines and curves, it makes the viewer form an opinion about the type of photography the artist makes.

  The color - purple - not only that is highly appealing especially to women, but also gives a clue to the audience that the photographer is a sophisticated female.

  Image 4:

  A bit childish and a bit girlie, this business card is supposed to be funky and young, inducing a youthful state of mind. As an inspiration, I had Emmi Salonen’s business card, but I adapted from my perspective and I came out with this pink crazy thing. Of course, handwriting type of font and a lot of patience in drawing a lot of lines:

  

  Image 5:

  The next image… I wanted something a bit retro and a bit vintage, so I found a font just perfectand then I added my favourite little pink spalsh, a simetrical one, but it still felt incomplete.

  Then, thinking about photoraphy, it crossed my mind that maybe I should add a shape that could make the audience think about a camera. So the circle came up. Chic and simple.

  As an inspiration, look at this image and then transform it:

  

  How to:

  For all these images I used InDesign.

  Questions?

  CD cover using resources from Deviantart and sxc.hu:

  • stock brushes;
  • stock texture;
  • stock portrait of a girl posing as a guitar player;
  • universal code bar;
  • loads of tutorials and plenty of hours handling the Pen Tool.

  The artist’s name and album title are a lack of creativity: I wrote the first name that crossed my mind and after that I just wrote Punk (she seems a bit to me) on Google search bar and one of the options was Punktastic.

  This was not the image I had on my mind so I am going to update as soon as possible.

  Some tutorials about combining an IMAGE with VECTORS:

  • Beauty woman effect in photoshop
  • Sparkling fantasy
  • Glamour model
