Business Card - Corporate and Creative.

During my time studying Textiles with Surface Design I have also being doing different unit's and one big part of my studies is the unit 10 which is professional practise, In this unit we keep a folder and use it to store paperwork to support the grading criteria and the contents which unit 10 holds. This include's uni course research, UCAS application and feedback, University Feedback, Grading, Peer assessments, Tutor feedback and paper work such as that as I am now nearing the end of my textiles course at Barnsley college I am now onto the final major project section of my professional practise folder, This is where I have looked into business card's so far, I have researched into both corporate business cards and creative business cards as I will be creating both. I have also annotated all the business card's I researched into so I could refer back and see what to avoid and what I'd like to include in my business card/s.

After looking into business cards and getting some inspiration the next thing for me to do was to look into some fonts and annotate them including what I like and dislike about them and why.

Now was the time to start creating some designs for my corporate and creative business card's, I did 2 A4 sized plain paper full of designs for my corporate designs here are the pictures...

 

The above are my first quick designs for my business card's, After looking at a few samples of previous student's business card's I decided to take some pictures of my favourite ones...

I liked the professional look on this business card and also its simplicity. 

The rounded corners really appealed to me on this one also the professional look and finish of it.

The acetate idea really gave me a good idea for my creative business card.

After looking at some sample business cards I had a better idea of what I would like to do and I decided I would like to send off my design for my corporate business card to a company such as vistaprint or something similar as my business card would look more professional but for my creative business card I would like to use acetate and create a cell shaped card, I shall have to sample this though and see if it would work. 

If anyone has any idea's on business cards which would help me as my business cards need to relate to my fmp work which is based on science, any feedback or help would be much appreciated.
