Ragged Edge business card

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

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!

First freelance web design project.

My client already had a website but it was definitely outdated, so I updated everything about it including the logo. I’ve learned so much doing this project (HTML, CSS, PHP), I’m ready to tackle more freelance business! I already have some people interested so who knows, my empire could be taking off, ha!

Click on the image to go check out the site, and do let me know what you think and if you find any broken links or things that don’t seem to work quite right. I’ll admit, I’m a newbie at putting together entire business-oriented websites, and I have a ton to learn when it comes to SEO and things of that nature. That said, sometimes newbies are the best because we’re totally dedicated and motivated to make sure our few projects come out excellent.

Honestly, I would DIE for Sterling Audio Video. Do I smell a business motto? Here’s to getting more web design savvy in 2010!

Also, because I love my clients, I threw in new business card design.
