Business card sketches





1) For my first business card sketch, I have my logo in the center and 2 vines with flower heads and leaves in the top left corner and bottom right. On the back, I have incorporated one of my ideas I had for a potential logo that I used for project 1 (the girl holding a heart). There are two flower heads drawn, one on each side of her with her in the center. The company's slogan, "Made By You For You" is at the top of the card. I have provided contact information in the bottom left and bottom right of the card: name, email, phone number and website. This design isn't my favorite, but it was just an idea.

2) The second business card's idea is to have the company's slogan at the front of the card with two flower heads (one in the top left and one in the bottom right). On the back would be the company's logo and the contact information divided in the bottom left and top right. I'm not sure if I like this idea; it seems a little too plain, but it's an idea.

3) The third card idea is to have one of my previous logo ideas as the face of the card. This wouldn't necessarily be my company's logo, but a nice design for the front. On the back, I have my company's slogan in the center of the card with the contact information divided into the bottom left and right corners. Also, I have faint, black, short lines going in a trail off of the card to the left and it continues to the front with a butterfly over the flower scene with "Build A Bra" (the short lines being the butterflies trail). I've learned that using certain design elements can help people keep engaged in your design, such as the use of lines. Therefore, the line trailing off of the card to continue to the front would force people to flip it over, giving them all the information.

4) The previous three designs have all been in landscape, but this design and the last are vertical. This one is similar to my first business card idea; having the 2 vines with flower heads and leaves in the top right corner and bottom left with the logo in the middle. On the back, you have the vines again, except in the top left corner and bottom right with the company slogan in the middle and the contact information divided in the bottom left and top right. I like this design, but I still feel like it would be too plain.

5) The last design would have the 2 flower heads, one in the top right and bottom left and the logo in the center. The back would have the contact information divided into the top left and bottom right corners, with the slogan in the center. Also, having the faint, black, short lines trail off the card to the right and continue to the front of the card with a butterfly.


Out of these design ideas, I like my third and fifth design, one horizontal and one vertical. I feel that these two designs would look good for the face of my company.
