Hi guys,
I saw a post about making a business card for the ph commmunity in acidyo’s post. At first glance I didn’t wanna do it cause am not very good with colours( as you can see in the design), but I did wanna put in something small to show that I wanna participate.
I’ve been trying colour combinations for sometime now and I think I might be better now. Not that good though, but I think this is better than a few years ago.
So let’s see how I did the design.
The contest requires that we make a business card that has a front and back. The front should have a qr code as well as the back. So to start, I opened canva(where I do all my designs). For this one, I decided to start from scratch. Most of my designs are ones that are owned by canva but I just make a few edits to use in my posts as cover images.
For the front.
I made sure to open a blank sheet.
After opening the blank page it was now left onto me to decide on the colours I wanted to use for this. It looks like the colours for hive are generally red and black. So I will be adding white to the other colours making it 3. This means I will be using 3 colours ie. red, black white.
With the blank I opted for a white background.
After that, i used a circle( black one) in the middle to study the designs.
I don’t wanna complicate the design so I opted for another shape to connect with the circle. The circle is meant to host the hive logo so it has an important role to play; incase you were wondering.
I did mention that I wanted to include the Color red in the design. It wouldn’t be much of an addition. I will add another shape in the form of an inverted triangle.
Now, for the addition of the hive logo.
Let’s add a few text before we add the qr code. Since this is something like a test design, I used my account qr code. Immediately you scan it takes you directly to my hive page.
So that’s it for the front. Not too classy but I think it will do.
For the back.
The back will have the same colours too. I might end up missing one of the colours but let’s see how it goes.
I had a blank sheet for this one too.
From the instruction, the back is supposed to have a qr code too.
As usual am gonna use my shapes. I used a triangle and some rectangles. I used the colours as I stated. Since I showed how I did the front I thought it would make the post a lengthy one if I wanted to add the description for the back too.
So this is the back.
So for the back, I used the Leo finance community front end for the qr code. Since am active there too I decided to just use it.
So this is what I did for the business card contest. My design is certainly not the best amongst the other entries but I think it’s a bit cool.
