I know it's quite obvious now that when the competition is about graphic design I get all energetic and excited.😁😁😁

So pardon me for entrying numerous times for I just can't help it but showcase my skills.
Thanks to @acidyo @hiveph @poshtoken and @ocd for this contest Hive Business Card contest , the winner is not certain because it seems I'm not the only creative guy here, I mean I see a lot of amazing designs, I love @doze business card design, it's really cool, did I say "cool", I mean hot 🥵🥵🥵🥵.

So here's my last entry, I don't want to overcloud the room with my design.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The design concept here is a "minimalistic design concept"
A simple minimalistic portrait card design that's straight to the point, easy to recognize and identify from a distance.

COLOR

Red
Blue
White
Black

I used Red and Blue as a gradient, representing the Philippine Flag. I also used some solid colors as other prototypes, showing how simple and minimalistic the design could get.

FONT

Franklin Gothic Heavy
I used a simple font that's easy to read throughout the design, manipulating only it's size where necessary.

I choose a portrait approach to minimize the positive space, since it was a simple design with few texts.

RESOURCES

I generated the QR codes at qr.io
Every other thing you see here are created/designed in coreldraw 19.

Using the colors in the Philippines flag as a gradient is a concept that could change based on the region.

Black

White

Red

Using the colors in the Philippines flag for the hive logo is a unique way to show identity, since this technique can be applied for different countries with different flag color.
