making my own business card.
April 23rd, 2011 § 1 Comment
As a graduating senior with BFA – graphic design, it came across to my mind that I need a business card so I can get out and play in real world. (also, it was a part of my senior workshop homework. hehe)
The most difficult challenge was coming up with a logo that represent my personality. I set down with my moleskin and started to make a list of things that are related to me: graphic design, typography, lettering, curly q’s, and etc… My initial approach was to incorporate my initial in English and Korean. It looked good on a piece of paper but wasn’t so great once I rendered the image in to Illustrator. I moved on to just to use my initials – SB. After almost spending half a day at MyFont.com to see how different typefaces handle those two letters, I came up with few sketches:
After all these sketches and trials..
tada! 
I really liked the final logo however a lot of my peers told me it looks like ‘al’ instead of ‘sb.’ After few revision…. 
That’s my final outcome of the business card. The logo looks more like ‘sb’ and I still managed to have some curly q’s!
It was a definitely a challenge. Creating a visual emblem to represent my personality wasn’t easy task because I was my own client. oh boy, let me tell you.. I am the worst client to myself. I just couldn’t make my own mind! However, finishing up the process and holding the final outcome in my both hands felt like I accomplished a lot and ready to go out in the real world.
