Using my own typeface/ stock photos
I thought it'd be funny to add in some really bad stock photos, as it would make the 5 advice business cards has a witty and intentionally bad atmosphere. Also, at this point in lockdown, I don't really care and I suppose that embodies the whole theme of not taking my work too seriously.
I didn't want to put my typeface design to waste so I used it in these business cards; I kind of wanted it to clash with the colours so I stuck to only using a flat black of white colour. I liked how this contrasted to the very vibrant colour in the background. I inverted the stock photos to kind of modify and distort them; I think they looked a bit too bad just as they were. Classic Abi but, I also used comic sans for the intentionally bad aspect.
Adding a gradient was also important to tie these designs in with my previous designs. I think these out of all of them look the most intentionally bad; they remind me of some weird kids party business card, which I suppose is great because I want to play with that idea of nostalgia.
