Hi everyone,
This week we’ll be working on your silhouette projects!
I looked at “our folders” and everyone who requested has one already. Please check your city tech emails. You can search using my name: Chloe.smolarski-heims and then please pin it so that you can find it easily.
Towards the end of class I will be introducing our last illustrator projects: Business cards.
Make sure your business card reflects the below mentioned design principles. (Front and back)
specs: 3.5″ X 2″ | CMYK | export as a png and upload to your Openlab site.
Step 1: Find a business card on line that you like.
Step 2: Copy it with different information.
Step 3: Finally, incorporating what you learned from making the copy, design a second card that incorporates Visual hierarchy and one other design principle.
Step 4: Export both the copy and the final version to Openlab. Take a pic and upload it slack. That is how I will count you present next week.
Here is here is a brief tutorial I just made about TYPE. I wanted you to have this as a reference as you design your business cards.
Visual-design principles inform us how design elements such as line, shape, color, grid, or space go together to create well-rounded and thoughtful visuals.
- Scale
- Visual hierarchy
- Balance
- Contrast
- Gestalt
