Business Card Creation

After going through multiple development processes, it is now time to create the cover of my DICE FACE business cards.







During this design process, I have retracted the circle border, as the full shape does not fit well within the space of the card. To compensate, I created a unique design border that does not clash with the logo, adding various quadrilateral shapes and swishes to build an effective business card.
I have also changed the outline of my logo with a bolder, inky one, to replicate the inking art style of comics, manga etc... 

I then added gradients to the shapes, creating an over all, dark and ominous advertisement:






Using another one of my logo designs, I have experimented using non-gradient, lighter colours to try and create a lighter, cheerful effect:




This design seems more layered, in terms of colour structure, such as the yellow lines behind the blue and red strips. The experimental logo, consisting of my name within a fantasy sword, is positioned above these strips, and the 'business' phone number is placed on the red strip.

Experimentation: Comic book style!

Cropping and experimenting Primary/Secondary!

Further honing in the experimentation, I have used primary images that I have cropped and applied to the creation of my logo. Using my original logo:

                               

I have taken the shapes used for each individual part of the design, and cropped an image using the crop tool.

I experimented with secondary images first, since they were available at the time. Using images consisting of galaxies, casinos and gold accentuate the 'Dice' part of 'Dice Face' and, albeit distracting and clashing, it makes the Logo seem very enticing and colourful.


However, Logos are not supposed to be very clashing, and so, using my primary images, I engaged this in a different approach. Using the Primary photographs I took, I cropped each of the shapes and laid them out in a categorical order.


I then combined the shapes together, and added the origin of photographs to the cropped Logo designs.


100% Design experimentation!

Testing out the different colour variations from my chosen colour palette in order to discover new designs, whilst applying the experimenting progress in a Comic-book style.
