Business Card Design by yours truly

In lieu of my preparations for entering the professional world and scrambling to secure a job out of college, I've designed a few variations of business cards. So, I know this is a little off the topic of crisis communication which my blog is intended to convey, but it's still relevant to the industry and professional world. As I've stated in previous posts, I am on the brink of graduating. I find myself attending more professional/career mixers and networking with added purpose.

I didn't originally think business cards were necessary as a student in this day and age, but to avoid the hassle of exchanging numbers with people I meet and leave a more memorable presence with potential employers, I decided to try it out.

I encourage those of you who follow my blog to engage in giving feedback regarding which design you find most visually appealing and memorable. Keep in mind I am pursuing a career in public relations and/or creative marketing.

My intention with this card is to display my creativity and design abilities, while maintaining a sense of professionalism. Some of these drafts are more modest than others in terms of design. I want to get noticed but remain relatively subtle.
