Creating a new Business Card

May 24, 2007 from

This week I had to create a new Business card for my company, ZEE. I have to say, this sort of work, like creating a business cards, is not as easy as some people think. Actually it’s pretty hard to condense our business to a size of a business card.

"The business card... is kind of an extension of yourself. It's a little bit of giving yourself to someone else."

Looking for some ideas

We started looking for some references and we found good sites like:

Creating the card

With some references in mind we had the idea of using a tag cloud showing what we do and the technologies we work with. So one side would be white with our logo and addresses, while the other side in blue with the tag cloud in white.

The final result:

Front Side:

Back:

 Web Site Design Tutorial: Wellknown.as Case
Last month I met some guys that are working on a really nice project that involved an iPhone app. So they invited me to design the web site, called Wellknown.as. I loved the idea and started looking for references and inspiration so I could start the design itself. So in this tutorial I will show you a little bit of how I created it using Fireworks. Of course you can do the same thing in Photoshop, the commands will change a bit but the process is practically the same.
