Good evening dear Hivians, today I want to share my participation in the contest, which asks us to create a business card for the hiveph@hiveph community, i.e. Hive Philippines. I thank acidyo@acidyo for the opportunity created, I leave you the link that leads back to his original post, where there are all the regulations. @acidyo/hive-business-card-design-contest

Thanks to Hive I learned in recent years to use vector programs, like the one I used in this case, a free program called Inkscape, in the footer of the post there are all the links if you are interested. Since I like challenges and putting myself to the test, because even if you don't win, it's definitely a great workout to learn and have new graphic visions. So I created a business card, mirroring both Hive and the Philippines, where I dedicated one side to both.

On the first side, I entered the QR code that leads back to Hive Onboard to make the first registration on the platform, while on the opposite side dedicated to the Philippines, I entered the QR code that leads back to their Discord group. Almost all the images in the card were created by me thanks to Inkscape, the only two images which I took are the logo of hiveph@hiveph and one CCO image that I took from the web, the geographical map with the Philippines colors, which I found on Pixabay.com, I leave you to followed the link. https://pixabay.com/it/vectors/frontiere-nazione-bandiera-2099222/

I'll show you a few steps I took to make the business card.

First I looked in the page settings for a rectangle measuring suitable for a business card (54 x 85.6 mm), created and chose a color theme, which I subsequently changed by lightening the gray and also the red, I proceeded by creating this Hive logo that I tried to make three-dimensional giving color and movement to the business card.

Having created the logo, I moved on to adjusting and improving the basic layout, trying to give an innovative style, but remaining linear and elegant. I hope I succeeded...

Once both bases of the card were set, I first entered the writings and wordings for the QRs.

To then subsequently also create the QRs, thanks to the qr.io site, and insert them in the appropriate spaces that I had chosen.

Fixed the details and some adjustments in the transparency of the colors, the work is finished and I hope you like the final result. Seeing the images in sequence, it seems to have been simple, but it took me much longer than I thought, at least about 3 hours, because try, move, see, it was a continuous testing of different combinations, to find the one that made me say yes, but in the end I'm happy with the result.

Obviously, if needed, I have the svg file to be able to possibly fix any detail. I hope I had time to participate, because I know I'm running out, I thank acidyo@acidyo again for this wonderful opportunity, I hope you enjoy my work, I wish you all a wonderful week, a hug from your stea90@stea90.
