Curious Eats // New Business Cards
Using the new brand design for Curious Eats, I have made a new range of business Cards.
I was deciding between these two designs but I chose the top design because I felt the bottom design was becoming too crowded.

Business Cards // Chosen Selection
The next stage was to chose a few of my favourite of the card designs (both black and white) and to print them out and see how they look, because everything looks different on screen.
I still feel that the black design is definitely the strongest, it looks sophisticated, stylish and professional without being too intimidating.
I think that I need to increase the point size of the information, at the moment it is 5.6pt which on screen was ok and looked neat, however when printed out I think that it needs to be slightly more readable. I will have to compare the different and see which point size is better.
Overall I am very happy with the layout and design of the business cards, I just need to get some feedback now.
For the white business cards I feel that they look better when the logo and writing is in the brown rather than black because it is too harsh.
On screen the big C of the white business cards looked light grey, however when printed out it was more light blue than grey so I need to go back and change this, it also might be a good idea to try it in a light brown.

This is the design that I have chosen to use for the business cards, I need to go back an enlarge the size of the information because when printed out it is not very readable. For the opposite side of the business card I just wanted to keep it very simple and use the logo silver foiled.
Business Cards // Stage 4
I feel that the business card is starting to look near the final stages of design now. I want to have two designs of business card, 1 black and one white. I will also be investigating more into the stock and print finishes each design, a high quality and high priced print out, and then one that is more appropriate for the budget.
I was happy with the designs from the previous stage although I felt that something was missing, so I added in his profession 'Chef' under his name and also added a thin white line to section of his name and profession with the rest of the information. For the high quality print outs I propose to silver foil and emboss the main logo on both sides.
I have also created a portrait design of the business card, and for this I chose to use two lines to section off the information and I kept the faded C in the background, overall I think that it works very well. I would also be proposing to foil and emboss the logo on here as well.
Overall I prefer the black design of business card but I also feel it is important to have a variety of design options.

Business Cards // Stage 3
I moved onto the next stage of design with just the black business card design because I fell this would be smarter. If I was to print these out professionally it would be incredibly pricey as I would be proposing to do it on thick stock, with the logo embossed and foiled, and to be printed on very thick stock / card.
In this stage I was just making very small changes again to the placement of text, the size of the text, the colour of the 'C' behind as well as its size and placement, and also the size of the logo.
I also made the decision to use the Optimus Princep typeface for all of the text as I feel it gives the business card more character, it is still stylish but I feel by using a serif typeface it makes the whole business card more friendly.
I have alighned the logo and 'George Cavendish' so they are the same width and balance out the rest of the layout.

Business Cards // Stage 2
After evaluating which one of the designs I like the best from the pervious stage I took that and started developing it further, making very small changes (both in black and white) to see which one worked the best.
I felt that something was missing from the business card so I took the "C" from the logo, enlarged it and placed it in the background of the business card. In the end I felt that the C worked best when placed on the left, it balanced out the rest of the business card layout.
I started using two typefaces - keeping 'George Cavendish' in the Optimus Primpus typeface and then using Gill Sans Italic for the body of the information. Although I thought this worked initially, when I reflected back on it I felt there were too many typefaces and I should just pick one and use it for all the text.
