Needs Assessment & First Drafts

My mom and I sat down last night, and I asked her what she wanted in the business card design, from the information to the overall style. My notes from that discussion are here:


Today, I was able to take her suggestions and formulate 6 basic business card designs. They're all very similar, but a few characteristics are tweaked between each of them. I tried as best as I could to fit my mom's requirements, finding a wood-pattern background on Creative Commons and applying some shading to make the lettering look burned in like she wanted. There were a couple of items from our discussion that I couldn't fit in, but as this is a first draft, when my mom and I go over the options I can always go back and add those parts in to her bidding.


Overall, I like how the card looks, especially how the lettering looks with the background. I can only hope my mom feels the same!
