For this assignment, we were to create some sort of card, be it greeting, business, holiday, etc. This assignment was influenced by the site, "Minted" (minted.com) where you can browse a wide variety of custom designed cards. I decided to go with a business card, and made up a clockwork repair and restoration business. I chose the name, "Sam Coster" after seeing that a man named "Samuel Coster" was a famous clockmaker. I used a series of gradients and shapes to achieve a grey and red styled backdrop. I also used a gear vector that I made a few years ago. The black shapes around "Coster's Clockwork" were made with a brush, and then duplicated to have a gradient fading effect. I positioned the text off-center, after seeing that the gear was also not quite specifically positioned. For the back of the card, I reversed the red and gear vectors, for consistency and style. I'm not sure if I should have placed things off-center though. Overall I'm pleased with it, though there are a few design choices I wasn't completely certain were correct, such as the font.
