DESIGN BRIEF:

Typography is the definitive tool for the designer and most design solutions can be found through an effective use of text. For this exercise you should try to move beyond the literal and take a more conceptual approach. You must use your own name for each of the following business card designs. This set’s limits on your use of words to solve the problem and you must instead find a creative visual solution. Create a business card for each of the following personalities, using your own name each time. The text for each should read: (see examples.) My name is (your name) and I’m a Chameleon My name is (your name) and I’m an Acrobat My name is (your name) and I’m an Amphibian My name is (your name) and I’m a Taxi Driver My name is (your name) and I’m a TV Evangelist My name is (your name) and I have an Allergy My name is (your name) and I live in a nuclear fallout area My name is (your name) and I have the Hiccups My name is (your name) and I’m Accident prone. My name is (your name) and I’m a Magician. In each design it is your name that will take on various visual attributes of the thing described. Your graphics must share the same ratio as an actual business card but must be larger and at 300 DPI.
