Back design/ adding type
The next step in the business card design process was to create the back design; these versions used the same texture for each card, and tried to create a consistent design with the same colour scheme. For the type, I used the most cursed type known to man... comic sans. It seemed like the best type to use for an intentionally bad design, and I didn't really want to overcomplicate it with a hand drawn font.
Adding threshold
For experimentation, I decided to play around with editing styles by adding a threshold and using block colour. This stripped down the design a lot, and made it look a lot more contemporary and minimal. In a way, I actually prefer this style as all of the cards look more consistent and its less chaotic; however, I kind of want my cards to be chaotic in order to look bad? So I needed a bit of crit feedback. I asked a few of my peers and the general feedback was a 50/50 split between both with and without threshold... so I suppose I need to consider what I personally fits better; I shall do this when I complete all of the other business cards to see what works consistently.
