🎴CONTEST ENTRY TO THE HIVE BUSINESS CARD DESIGN🎴

😊Hey there! welcome to my design proposal presentation. After reading about the contest as published by @Acidyo Hive Business Card Design Contest, I decided to make an attempt as, so far my experience only extends to entries in two Hive projects-logo designs, so I thought why not challenge myself again in a business card design? Playing with ideas, symbols, colours...sounds fun plus these are things I'll want my nephews [or kids when I have them] stumbling on later in life, a glimpse into what their aunt[momma] has been upto on web 3

👉DESIGN BRIEFING AND WHAT'S EXPECTED FROM THE HIVE BUSINESS CARD

Hive's onboarding program wants to create business cards for Hive users, it's a test run initiative and all Hiveans are welcomed to share their wealth of creativity.

The business card is expected to a simple yet sleek design ready for mass production with 2 sides [Front and Back]. QR codes will also be included on both sides. The front side will hold the QR code and Link to hiveonboard for easy account registration and other side [Back] should contain QR code link to the Discord of the Hive account@hiveph [Hive Philippines] community.

👉GET INTO DESIGN MODE

Typically I should have some paper sketches, but I don't always work that way. I just pick up my laptop;
✅Get into Adobe Photoshop CS5,
✅Create new Business card size canvas of 1004x591 pixels and choose black as background.
✅Already have an idea of the icons and resources i would love to see on my business card, which I downloaded from free websites like www.flaticon.com and www.cleanpng.com
✅Next I import them into Photoshop and the design + thought process commences right there.

I spent more time [in days] in my thoughts and on PCS5 working with different designs, but once I figured out what I wanted, everything simply came into place. Thanks to free .png items, there was no struggle; simply add in, modify, color correct, and finish. It took only one, two, and three steps to complete [well not that simple but you get the idea ].

Then went along with shades that in my opinion compliment Red and also looks cool for a business card. I am drawn to dark shades for a business card, suit, shoe, bag, whatever that makes me comfortable and confident. Another thing was picking colours that made the new comers comfortable being at the right address, hence used the dominant colours from www.hiveonboard.com website.
