This document discusses the design of a business card for Jasmine McNeil's media and film business. It provides details on three different business card designs created using Canva. The first design uses a template that is modified with yellow colors and graphics to represent honey and create a bee theme. It includes the business name and logo in the center with contact information on the back. The second design uses colored spots and honeycomb graphics on a simple background with the name and logo in the middle. It is meant to be understated but informative. The third design is created from scratch with watercolor stains and a honeycomb graphic in the background. A serif sans font is used for readability and

2. Business
Cards
Each business will have something standing out in there
business card such as a logo, colour or design in order to
make them more eye catching, many use bright colours in
order to attract more attention.
When designs a business card I must think about how to
limit on the information on the card as I do not want to
bombard the audience or client with too much information as
I must keep it simple to make it more effective.
My own aim for creating a business card is to have a design
which is a professional manner but also be simplistic and
effective explaining to audience and clients where I work,
where they are able to contact me and who I am.
First impressions are very important in the business and
business cards are a way to make you be remember by the
client especially if it is an unique type of card.
Each business card is an extension of the business so they
must be professional, smart and fit in the business theme in
order not to miss direct or confuse people.

3. Business Card Design Analysis

The Box design has been put on both of
the business cards to link the front and
the back in order to relate to each other
but also to create a cohesive design. The
box design is also linked to the name or
slogan of the company “Outside the box
of Creatives” .
On the back of the business card
they have included information
what would be need in order for
potential employers, buyers or
other to get in contact with them.
The information they would include
is Number, website, social medias
and address this makes it very
professional to customers or
employers.
The business name is the main part of the
front of the card in order to make sure people
know who the business but also makes the
card look very professional as it has the
layout of a smart design.
The font chosen suits the design very well as
the lettering is very smart and readable.
They have included a small
description about what the
business in about in order to
inform them. Many people
might not know what the
business about so having a
small description is a simple
way to inform them they are
create 3D modles.
Each business will always have a certain colour design as
the business logo will have a certain colour to make the
business card cohesive with the logo but also so people
can associate the colour with the business. They will use
very contrasting colours in order to make the business
card stand out from others.

4. Business Card Design
On this business card they have decided to put the
brand name on the front and the back of the business
card in order to inform that the card belongs to the
business. They use a very readable and a bold font in
order for people to read it clearly and as the brand
name is very odd.

The business card design is one a very odd design
which suits the brand name, it is very eye catching
the design due to the random triangles and dotted
lines all over. The design is a very modern type of
design which many people love as they think it
very sleek and trendy and many business try to
create a design like that.
People might be confused as
the business name is sausage
dog and people may assume
that it has something to do with
dogs industry, so in order to
get rid of confusion they have
added Digital Agency under the
brand name. They have done it
in a readable and clear font in
order for people to easily read
it but also they have put it
under the business as if they
put it somewhere else it might
have confused people reading
the business card.
On the back of the business card
they have added important
information to the business and
the person such as there name,
business number, website, social
media platforms and email
address they can contact them
out in order for it easy to reach
out to them.
Business always add the social
media platforms they are on in
order to promote the social profile
but also they will have much
evidence of the type of content
they create in order to show what
they are able to offer and what
quality they will get it in.
This business card is a very good design
for a media business as the design for
the card shows of thing we associate with
media such as dots and dashes of lines
on a screen when broken or the odd but
modern style design they have created. I
quite like this design as it is very modern
and easily shows what the card is about.

My Business Card
Design
For my business card design I know the colour theme should be yellows
hues, green or golden hues as my logo is a bee and it would link very well
with it. I know for the business card I want to have it as a Simplistic or
minimalistic type of business card as it will most suitable for my business
card but also I believe that it will be a good way to present my business.
In order to create my business card I am going to be
creating in on the website Canva as they offer many
templates to us but it is an easy way to design my
business cards.
From looking at the templates there are many types of
designs and themes I can chosen from and I can easily
make a business card design from scratch if I desire too.

6. Creating my Business
Card
To create my business card design I used Canva as they have an incredible easy website to use, and they offer
many amazing template. Here are screenshots of creating my business cards designs on cards.
For many of them I used graphics of yellow honeycomb or yellow watercolor or spots of yellow and golden hues
in order to create the background of the card.

In Canva I was able to create this design, Originally it was a template for another
business. I changed the colors from pink to different colors of yellow in order to create
a bee theme but also a yellow effect.
I used different graphics on the top of the cards to make it look like honey is dripping
down the card, I changed the colors and the transparency to make it more fitting. I
added a small text saying media and film on the business card to inform people what
business I am in and what I specialize in, I made it bend around the top of the name
as I wanted a fun style and did not want to be basic and add it underneath.
I added the logo in the middle of the business card above the business brand name for
people to connect that they are both linked together. The bee logo is a very simple
logo design that I really wanted as It would match the type of business card I wanted
to design.
This is one of my best designs I have created I believe as it is a very modern types of
design that I wanted; has all the information I would need but also it fits on the back of
the card. I knew if I was to create a business card it would have to stand out but also
would have to be professional as it is a first introduction to my business.

7. Creating my Business Card
For my second business card design on Canva, I was inspired by a
template I saw, which was a simplistic styles with different spots of
colour on it with a simple brand name in the middle alongside the
logo. I wanted to see if I could create a version for my business. I
changed the colour of spots to yellows and dark yellows to achieve
a yellow colour theme which is the colour of my logo design.
I added honeycomb hives or the top of the colour to give of more of
a bee theme for the card to match the logo design.
This card design is a very simple one which I really like but I feel it is
too tame and not very eye catching to people but it does inform
people about the business on the back of the card. I tried to make
the back of the card more cohesive with the front so I duplicated the
blobs of colour and added them together with the honeycomb

8. Creating my Business Card
For my third design on Canva, I made this design from scratch. I was inspired by some
of the designs I have seen on Canva as they were very simplistic. I first added the
water colour stains in the corners to give the card more of a background but also link
the logo to the card.
In order to add more background, I believed adding a honeycomb graphic over the top
would fill in the negative space around the water colour. I was very happy with how it
was turning out so I decided to move on to the font types. I experimented with many
different serif sans and sans fonts In order to achieve a professional look but also a
readable font. I settled on serif sans font as it was easy to read and looked very smart,
underlining the brand name fill in even more negative space and makes it look more
important.
After I was settled with the front of the card I decided to keep the same background for
the back as it would be cohesive. I decided to change some of the water colour around
in order to make as the colour has seeped through the card. On the back of the card I
used the light version of the serif sans font as it is cohesive with the originally font but
also it is very easy to read.
I added the information I would need on a business card such as phone number,
