Portfolio Piece 6
About This Image: For this Portfolio Piece I wanted to design something very clean cut and simple. I want my business cards to be aesthetically pleasing, but also not too busy that you miss the information.
Design Elements:
I liked the feel of the CONTRASTING colors between the black, white, and pink. I feel like those three colors play off each other well and are very COMPLEMENTARY of each other. I ALIGNED my name in the center of the card so it’s the first thing your eye goes to when you look at the front of the card. I also like the PROXIMITY of the watercolor in the center. It makes the design interesting with out being overwhelming. Then off center a little bit, is the phrase ‘videography + photography’ so people know exactly what services I am offering. For the TEXT on my business card I wanted to choose something fun, but also professional. The font that my name is written in is a modern calligraphy hand letting font called Sophia with a basic san serif font from Photoshop called rift regular for the videography + photography below.
Photoshop Skills Used:
