FMP- CREATIVE BUSINESS CARDS

 Once making my corporate business cards, I had to go into making my creative business cards. I decided that I wanted to create a lino print as I hadn't managed to create any throughout my project.  Once I had come up with a design, I began to carve it into my lino; but I wasn't sure which colours I wanted to use. I created some samples, using red and blue as I thought that they would contrast well.  Creating my samples, I felt that the blue didn't do the print much justice, so this is why I tried the print in red. I felt that the red was much more eyecatching, however I still felt that it looked too plain with just one colour.  

I decided to use both colours within my business cards, red for the Rose; as I felt this was the more dominant colour and would pull the clientele to focus on the middle of the business card. I then chose the blue for the background to try and create a water like effect. I had also created my own stamp using vista print, which I played around with a little on my samples, to see where I wanted to place my information. I decided to place the stamp in one of the roses petals so that it looked a little more interesting than just being placed into a corner. 

  

This is how they've all turned out. I created 50 of these however, each print came out with a different quality and don't all look the same, but I like how it's done this so I decided to use them all, as it shows you that every print is unique.
