My business card and logo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. What did you learn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned what vector graphics are and how they differ from other image formats, as well as how to create vector graphics and format business cards using Adobe Illustrator. I also learned about appropriate font choices and how to create a balanced and readable business card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What was easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest part was probably choosing a color scheme and incorporating it. It took a while to figure it out, but using things like grids in Illustrator were fairly easy since I had already gotten used to it in Photoshop. The pen tool was pretty challenging, but I found it to be far easier to use and more intuitive in Illustrator than in Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What was challenging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought it was pretty challenging to actually come up with a logo. I like what I came up with overall, but I drew out a lot of different designs before I decided on one that I liked. I also thought that the pen tool, though a lot better than in Photoshop, was pretty difficult to master. Over the course of the project though, I definitely got a lot better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. How could your submission be improved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ultimately like the design of my business card, but I feel like it could maybe be improved if I made the logo side of the card a little smaller or the text a little bigger, as that might give it more balance. Alternatively, maybe a lighter colored background for the logo would have helped the text side of the card feel less dominated by the logo side.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked the way that the assignment was set up; I found all of the instructions to be pretty easy to understand and I didn\u2019t have any real issues. The only thing was that being online was probably a detriment to the assignment, but I still thought the powerpoints and videos were enough to help me figure everything out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that knowing how to design a business card will probably be helpful later on in my professional life, as I will have the skills to be able to create my own or maybe even help others make theirs. In addition, I think that understanding Illustrator could be helpful in future assignments or work scenarios as I\u2019ll be able to create my own custom vector graphics for various assignments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
