More Business Card Designs

Since the new project coming up is focusing on business cards, I was interested in seeing how simple design concepts, such as the triangle in my own logo, can be used in a card format.

Here's a link to a collection of business cards:

My favorites were:

I love business cards that are extremely simple in design. In the Kevin Cheng card, I liked the simplicity of the concept and playing with black and white vs color on the front (4/0, I believe). The design is halftone complementary. I just don't like the centered type. As for the two middle cards, I like the alignment of the Studio Sebastian card - if the type of the front were on the same as the back it would be aligned. I also really like the light gray on white. As for the photography card, I really enjoy the simplicity of the alignment and type. It speaks for itself and makes me want to see more, and go to the website. As for the last one, DarienLibrary, I don't enjoy the colors so much as the alignment and layout of the logo design and the text. I also like the larger font at the bottom and the bolded font on top - it creates a nice balance.

I'm also a sucker for how-to's, so here's one about making a business card for a graphic designer, which I'll probably elaborate on in another post.
