Creative Business Postcard Design Series
Damion is one of my dearest—and most dedicated—client-friends. My problem with most business postcards is that they all tend to look similar and boring. Some abstract, blue gradient swooshes background with cliché stock photos of laughing people shaking hands. I wanted more than that to make Damion’s postcards really stand out. I wanted composition. I wanted strong contrast. I wanted fun yet elegant. First, I put together a suggestive, authoritative color scheme of browns and golds with red accents. Then, I started started to put the text together in unusual layout designs. Finally, feeling inspired by Damion’s text and call-to-action lines, I managed to choose visuals that looked fun and different than the clichés we often see on this kind of promotional materials. A successful business postcard is the one that doesn’t get binned by the recipient without having been looked at. And I hope I’ve succeeded!
About Me
I am a passionate, self-taught graphic designer focused on creating out-of-the-box designs. I am grateful for my vivid imagination, as well as my ability to perceive words through images, compositions, and colors. I have a versatile style, being able to create both minimalistic and rich designs, depending on what my clients need. I do use stock images in my designs, but I rarely use them as-is. Most times, I combine different elements and images in order to create an original scene. My favorite tools are Photoshop, InDesign, and a Wacom Tablet. I have very strong work ethics, based on integrity, hard work, and respect. My ultimate goal is to learn as much as possible, and to make people happy through my art!
