I’ve done a little be of business card design here and there, so I was excited when my friend Vance wanted to me get involved with the redesign of his.
This was the first time I was designing around an existing typeface, and I think it’s a bit more challenging (not a bad thing, really) than just starting out with a blank slate. It forces you to think creatively while still maintaining the client’s current business identity.
Vance wanted something different, yet still professional. I think the diagonal works with the concept and it’s not “too much”. Feel free to leave any feedback.
Also, how’s this for business card design inspiration? Some of those are beyond sweet.
I’m excited to be getting these freelance projects where I can spread my wings and do something different (and profitable, woohoo!).
Spread the word, babies, momma’s got a sailing trip to pay for. More on that later, at which time I hope you will be as excited as I am!
Yeah, it would have been very jarring to see “Ragged Edge” in Helvetica or something. Good job!
Thanks Greg! I’m happy with the finish product and hope my client is too. It definitely takes a lot of drafts and revisions, but totally worth it in the end.
