The front of my business card was inspired by a moo business card titled fingerprints.  It used a more subtle curve design over a gradient. When I get bored, I doodle designs like the one on my card so I also used that for inspiration. I thought that the design looked both creative and slightly graphic at the same time so it fit me well. Due to a bust front, I chose to keep a clean and simple back. I spent a while picking a font to fit in with my logo and felt that a light, rounded sans serif worked well. I added a pop of graphics and color on the back. I chose teal because it was the same color in my logo.

Logo

      I started my logo process by looking at vintage logos and doing retro style sketches. Although I love vintage style, I also really like minimalist contemporary style too so I started to lean more towards that style because it fits me better. I chose a super dark charcoal because I wanted sophisticated, but I didn't want a dark black. I chose the white and lime because they contrasted well with the charcoal color. The green also is unique and creative which I thought represented me well. I used a circle for organization but I used a messier font and paint stroke to show creativity and a bit of chaos in the calmness of a charcoal circle.

Article Review

The article was claiming that news reporters can be rude or insensitive at times. They sometimes do not consider feelings of thise being interviewed and only care about the story. The article had good evidence for both sides.
