Bodacious business cards: Introducing backgrounds
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/introducing-backgrounds.html
Thursday, May 29, 2008. It's my best guess that many business card designers are still working within the technical restraints that existed in the color printing industry in the past. Solid colors are safe, and a smooth gradient fade is now technically possible. Maybe designers need less vector design and more raster design, and it's an Adobe Illustrator vs. Photoshop thing.

Bodacious business cards: Playing with pattern backgrounds
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/playing-with-pattern-backgrounds.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Playing with pattern backgrounds. Creating repeating geometric shapes is a good way to spend those hours when neural activity is just too sluggish for anything else, or when you wish to give expression to your OCD within. A pattern background can be the starting place for a business card design. This pattern is much too busy to be used as-is. There's no place to put your text so that it will be visible.

Bodacious business cards: Bodacious simplicity - letterpress
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/bodacious-simplicity-letterpress.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Bodacious simplicity - letterpress. Letterpress printing is not my thing, personally, except for a 3 month stint in 7th grade shop class many moons ago. Letterpress printing is very expensive compared to other printing technologies. 1000 business cards designed and executed for letterpress could reasonably cost $800, or more. Yet, just looking at the beauty and artistry of letterpress printing on a fine thick cotton card stock fills me with appreciation. Surrey, British Columbia.

Bodacious business cards: No art of the business card
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/no-art-of-business-card.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. No art of the business card. It was pure coincidence that the same day I wrote Basic narcissism of business cards. Guy Kawasaki was waxing enthusiastic about his new business card in The art of the business card. If you don't know Guy Kawasaki, there is not much about this business card that tells you who he is, what he does, or why you should contact him. This card does not pass the "Would you pin this business card to your bulletin board just because you like to look at it? If yo...

Bodacious business cards: Variation on a bizcard theme - 2
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/variation-on-bizcard-theme-2.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Variation on a bizcard theme - 2. I suppose the natural tendency is to darken a dark photograph even more in order to create the necessary blank area for contrasting text. That's what I did in my prior sample, in Photoshop tip - variation on a theme 1. This, however, is my preferred variation:. Labels: business card design. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bodacious business cards: Photoshop tip - variation on a theme 1
http://bodacious-business-cards.blogspot.com/2008/05/photoshop-tip-variation-on-theme-1.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Photoshop tip - variation on a theme 1. In my Cropping tips for business card design. I started off with a big photograph and cropped it down to business card size, like this:. The main problem with this technique is that it looks cheesy. It looks like someone spray painted over the right side of the photo. The transition from the organic texture of the photograph to the flat monotone of the gradient is obviously artificial.
