4/23: Business Card Project

     This week, we moved to a new Adobe App called InDesign. I have worked inside of it once before and was not to fond of the way it worked. However, after this project, i really appreciate the way it can make any simple design really professional. Although the tools are pretty easy and basic, Professor Roundtree really helped me understand how I can use them to my advantage which I appreciate. My logo that I created a few weeks ago was mor eon the cute side so I wanted to try and make layout mor professional looking but also keep that fun and light theme. 

    At first, like I predicted, I had difficulty using the framing tools and understanding exactly how to move images. However, once I got the hang of it, it became pretty easy. I looked online and through student work for some inspiration. I made some sketches on my own and wanted each card to be completely different. I wanted them to have their own color scheme and tried to utilize a diverse array of tools each time. I spent a lot of time on this project because having a business card is something I genuinely need. I really enjoyed this project and spent about 3 hours total on it. I love how the projects I created in this class not only taught me how to use Adobe Creative Cloud Apps, but also provided me with content I was use in real life. 

    I think my favorite card I created is the first one (blue and yellow). I created that background design in another class and loved how perfectly it matched the logo I created. If I had to change anything about it, it would be how thin each line is on the log, I feel like you have a hard time seeing them sometimes. I think The card is simple but that design shows my creative abilities. I decided to turn down the opacity so the colors were a bit more muted.
