Business Card

Here is my Business card for S'il Vous Plais Graphic Design. I wanted my business card to be fairly simple overall so i stuck with the same font all over, except for the logo, and stuck with white for my font color and gray as the background. I chose white for my font color because first of all it looked better against the gray i had chosen for my background, and second of all i feel like white is fresh, new and classic. I created a simple design for the sides and i know it isn't perfect but i didn't want it to be perfect. Since everything else on my business card was going to be clean and neat i felt that having this trim on the sides that isn't perfect would balance it all out and it would make the business card a little less harsh overall. I added some gradient with the mesh tool to create some different tints of the gray background. The back of the business card simply has the logo and the name of my business and the front has the logo and the required information such as name and address. For this information i didn't like the way it looked when i just simply typed it all out because it didn't have the look i wanted it to have. so i changed the tracking of each line of information and changed the size of my name so that my name would be larger and more the focal point of the information and changing the tracking made all the lines the same length so it created a box of information and i like the cleanliness of the way it looks. overall i thought it was pretty hard but turned out okay.

CATE Logo

Here are four different CATE logos that i made. I didn't really know which one to post because I don't really like them very much. So i posted them all and I was wondering if you could comment and tell me which one you like best, i already have my favorites but i want to see what y'all think :) So i stuck with black and white and added maroon to some of them and i chose these colors because they are the districts colors. Um i tried to keep them somewhat simple but i'm not very good at this...so yeah just tell me what you think :)

Logo Design

Here is my logo design for my company which is called S'il Vous Plais which is french for "please", "to Please" or "Pleasing". I chose this name for my graphic design company because first of all i really like french. I wish I could speak french because i think its one of the prettiest sounding languages ever. :) so yeah and i also picked this name because i feel like one of the main strengths of my company would be pleasing the customer and making sure they are always happy. I chose to keep my logo simple and all black which makes it easier to print or embroider or put on different items. The font i chose for my letter  "SVP" was called Bickham Script Pro-Regular, and i chose this font because it is a very pretty, clean and classic looking font which was the feel i wanted my business to have overall. I placed a Classic french Fleur De Lis beside the initials for my company just to add a little something to the logo and to help contribute to creating the mood and the feeling i wanted my business to have. Overall i had a really hard time creating this logo. i wish i could have created something a little bit better but with the amount of time i had this was one of the logos i created that i liked best. I thought this was going to be a lot easier than it was. I now appreciate graphic designers a whole lot more than before. they have a hard job. It could have turned out better in my opinion but on the other hand it could have turned out a lot worse too.
