  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.

  My first type exercise!!!

  I tried my best but did not quite succed because as I learn more, I realize how little I know. This image was created with Photoshop, but due to my blancks in terms of clipping masks and layers, the effect I was expecting faded.

  As you can see, I have changed the colors with something I find more girlie and vintage and the word itself is included. After asking a few opinions, the only answer I could get was that I am good with colors, but I still have to work on the entire type; it is a bit difficult in understanding how to expand a word with another color, and right now it’s on my “to do” list.

  As resources, I used:

  • this tutorial: how to create a retro grunge poster;
  • brushes and textures given royalty free by the author of the tutorial;
  • urban brushes from DeviantART and adjusted by me;
  • free retro fonts from 1001 free fonts.

  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:

  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:

  For all these images I used InDesign.
