The cli­ent, a private chef, expressed his need for an ori­ginal, food related design for his busi­ness card. Sam is well known for his pas­sion for chilli pep­pers in his cuisine, which is way bey­ond cook­ing. He is an expert in the art of taste.

Using two of the main ele­ments of her logo, we cre­ated an eye-catching design with the con­tact inform­a­tion aligned to the right, cre­at­ing the bal­ance with the left part of the visual image. The text is using Geor­gia, which is a serif typeface res­on­at­ing with its indi­vidual typo­graphic personality.

The cards have been prin­ted on a 300 g/m² EUROCOTE card.

This is an example of another double sided busi­ness card design. The front side con­tains only the logo of Alma de la Tierra and its busi­ness descrip­tion. The card is optic­ally divided into the white and blue parts, fol­low­ing the shape of the logo’s dec­or­at­ive lines. The design of the front is done in a way to make a strong first impression.

Giles is a tree sur­geon. Fol­low­ing his brief, we have used a photo of a Kauri tree for the back­ground. We have pos­ter­ized the photo and sim­pli­fied its col­our scheme to bring the focus more on the text. The font, AJensonPro-Bold, provides a very eye-pleasing exper­i­ence whilst the text stays nicely readable.

The busi­ness cards have been prin­ted on 300 g/m² EUROCOTE card with a glossy print side and a matte back.

This busi­ness card has por­trait ori­ent­a­tion and has been prin­ted on 300 g/m² card with one glossy side (the prin­ted side) and matte for the back of the card. The design uses the company’s orange col­our with a slightly lighter tone draw­ing the stripy sun in the back­ground. The logo is placed at the top with blue writ­ing under­neath. The text is aligned to the right with com­pany niche and con­tact inform­a­tion sep­ar­ated by hori­zontal lines.

We cre­ated a new brand design for Sor­ceress in 2006. Amongst her other mer­chand­ise, we also designed a new busi­ness card look. We used her exist­ing logo (pho­to­graphic image of crys­tal love heart) on the light yel­low back­ground, as you can see on the pic­ture below. The back­ground is dec­or­ated by a light star orna­ment in the left bot­tom corner. We used this orna­ment across the whole brand design, uni­fy­ing the con­nec­tion amongst her dif­fer­ent pub­li­city products.

This is a card planXdesign cre­ated for their own pub­li­city, before chan­ging their name to planXdesign. I con­sidered the final look of the busi­ness card on paper first, I then pre-laid it in Pho­toshop, so it made it easy to design in InDes­ign. It is quite a com­plex design using an Illus­trator — Pho­toshop — InDes­ign combo, where each layer of the back­ground (Webd­ings man­dala, film strip, each field of the film strip’s con­tent, etc.) was cre­ated in Illus­trator first. Effects have then been applied in Pho­toshop to give each layer the 3D feel.

There are two clones of the design, an Eng­lish one in a blue col­our and the Span­ish one with a green back­ground and yel­low text. On the fol­low­ing pic­ture you can see the Span­ish ver­sion. The card has been prin­ted on both sides on glossy card 300 g/m².
