Assignment 2 - Business Card

(Click for larger view.)

This assignment involves creating increasingly abstract images from and an original (almost-life-like). The arrow indicates the point where people start having questions about what they see (in this case, whethey they are 100% sure that i'm referring to sea-diving). In fact, the last image looks like some kind of alien race!

We were then instructed to take that chose image and turn it into a symbol.

I wasn't completely sure which colours to use so i stuck with a deep blue colour and a dark charcoal to signify the deep sea. I stuck to very few colours as well.

Lastly, we had to incorporate the chosen symbol into a business card from a business related to our earlier assignment 'Me, Myself and I'. I chose the the theme of the sea and from there, an underwater diving company.

I felt it'd look weird if i just placed the diver floating around in the card without a 'purpose'. Hence, i added a background of the sea and the waves in the card so it makes it seem as though the diver is swimming in the water. I ended up with two designs because i couldn't decided which was better! Also, i realised that the colour of the card you see on the blog itself differs from when you view it in a seperate tab.

I made an additional front to the business card:

We also had to do a little write-up on our business to accompany the business cards.

 

The critic session went well as my tutorial mates were good with my designs and i don't have to make any changes to them! Out of the two business cards i made, they felt that the first one was better, so i'll stick with that one!
