ironically bad business cards - using WordArt


WordArt business cards




In order to make my business cards even worse, I decided to throw in some lovely word art to really show off my design skills. I thought this would be perfect to create nostalgia and irony, and really making my business cards look like a kid has made it in the IT room in 2007. Above are just a few examples of the raw components, but obviously I edited them slightly to try and make good design from it?? I think lockdown has made me go mad. 



I made some nice little flat lays of these beautiful business cards; I actually think they look pretty good in contrast with the black background, and they all look consistent together. 







For each design I added some MS paint illustrations inspired by each artists work to juxtapose the colourful design and to visually reference their work. I also wanted to add a more playful atmosphere, and cartoon style work seem to feature a lot in each designers work; it also helped differentiate each business card, as they all use the same gradient- this could be a possible issue?
