When considering business cards I had started a collection of different types of business cards from the end of year shows at LCA and people from other creative fields.
I decided to analyse all these different cards to see how people presented themselves, the colour pallettes and printing process the used.
The majority of the cards that I had collected had really distinctive design features in regards to they way in which they displayed their information. Instead of writing telephone numbers they would generically use +44 (0) to break up the number which is something I will consider with my design.
They also would use a minimal type and colour pallette so that the design wasn't overcrowded, which was another thing I will consider. In regards to print processes there was a lot of embossing, duplexing and spot varnish which creates a hand crafted element to the designs and makes it more interesting to touch and feel.
I think looking at the designs primarily gave me an insight into what I can achieve and the different outcomes I could produce.
