Business Card of Historical Figure
What is the focal point of your business card?
In my opinion the Name of the individual (Nelson Mandela) stands out well, and is placed relatively central to the card. Also the bold, coloured lines below his name help to bring out the font.
What Job role, or activity does the business card describe?
It describes Mandela's past victories and success in being the president of South Africa.
Is it supposed to be a formal (serious) or informal (casual) business card?
Given that the subject was a serious, major event in history, after doing great things for the country, a serious business card was appropriate for the task.
The final copy must include crop and registration marks to show where the cards are to be cut. Describe how you placed the crop and registration marks on your finished copy.
In Corel Draw it was easy to place the marks on the page. Its almost automatically done for you. Two clicks and you're done.
Why did you choose the colours, graphics, text, layout and style for a business card for your person?
My aim was to make the card aesthetically pleasing without being to 'clever' or making it too busy with too many graphics or colours. Thus, i kept it simple by only using three colours. I used red to underline the font, which i feel brought out the name of the subject pretty well, i used green to create a wall/barrier and show a different section for the details and i used black for the font to make it seem formal. I only used two graphics and they were the south african emblem and the national flag for south africa. These work well in my opinion as it backs up the subject by creating a small bit of visual/image information without words as to what the subject is related to. The font i used (Tw Cen MT Condensed) was formal and elegant, nothing to outrageous, as it would have taken away fromt he sophisticated feel of the subject/card.
This is the finished product.
Note: I have to figure how to save the file in another format, so it will be up soon hopefully.
