Personal Calling Card

Figure 1: Personal Calling Card

Figure 1 is a personal calling card. the card was heavily inspired by Frans Ferdinand and his album cover, You Could Have It So Much Better. His album cover displays a great example of Constructivism in art which was replicated in the personal calling card. The font used through out the piece is Futura, there is two styles, bold and medium. Due to the colour palette being light/pastel, the more important text was capitalised and in bold to stand out from the rest of the work. The shade of grey was used for the text as it was the best contrast colour in the palette (taken from Colour Hunt).
