Due Date: March 6
It's time to put your logo to work for you.
Everybody needs a calling card. Imagine that you're out and about and you find yourself running smack-dab into your next big thing (a paying client). Of course you'll remember the conversation you had with them and all that you could do for them.
But, will they remember you?
Here is where a business card is most effective. Though, it can't just be any ole' business card. It has to shine. It has to sparkle. It hast to wow (not literally, but you get the picture).
It has to get and capture their attention so that they remember the same conversation you did...because they're a paying client.
And, just to be sure they come to you, your business card has to not only be good but better than every other business card they come across because there is plenty of competition out there seeing the very same paying client.
There must be two UNIQUE (different) business cards designed in Adobe Illustrator.
- Business Card 1 is horizontal (3.5in wide x 2in tall)
- Business Card 2 is vertical (2wide x 3.5in tall)
Your business card must use your existing logo (after any alterations have been made - now is the time to do it if you're gonna do it)
Your business card must contain this information (PLEASE USE FAKE INFORMATION BECAUSE I USE THESE CARDS AS SAMPLES WITH OTHER STUDENTS AND ADULTS)
- Your Name
- Your address
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- Your social media account or website
Use appropriate colors that correspond with your logo design.
Business cards can be exported to Adobe Photoshop for enhancements and augmentation of graphics and appearance.
