Creating a new Business Card

maio 24, 2007 from

This week I had to create a new Business card for my company, ZEE. I have to say, this sort of work, like creating a business cards, is not as easy as some people think. Actually it’s pretty hard to condense our business to a size of a business card.

"The business card... is kind of an extension of yourself. It's a little bit of giving yourself to someone else."
— Ken Erdman, founder of the Business Card Museum, Erenheim, PA

Looking for some ideas

We started looking for some references and we found good sites like:

Creating the card

With some references in mind we had the idea of using a tag cloud showing what we do and the technologies we work with. So one side would be white with our logo and addresses, while the other side in blue with the tag cloud in white.

The final result:

Front Side:

Andei recebendo alguns emails perguntando como criar aquele efeito 'linen texture' que vemos no iOS em iPads e iPhones. Eu gosto do efeito mas nunca havia parado para pensar se poderia reproduzí-lo no Photoshop, então na semana passada, depois de tantos emails, resolvi tentar. Neste tutorial vou mostrar a vocês como criar o efeito linen texture no Photoshop e também como criar o efeito metal/glass que vemos no logo da Apple no iOS.
