Photoshop Business Card Project

  This is my business card document, took me some time to finish it but i got the job done. I want to help businesses promote their dealerships involving cars, one of the main reasons i chose the car as a logo. I wanted to start off with a simple business card, but with the different tools on photoshop, that changed my whole idea on it. I had certain colors and font types, but the photoshop didn't have what I needed so I came up with new ideas.

 I started off with my main colors being royal blue and metallic silver. They looked great at first but then I tested black and white and it appealed to me better. I had the black run over white and I got the Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter logos to blend in with the background. The car originally had it's plates showing and the rear lights were red but I used the paintbrush tool to cover it with a black. It took me some time to blend in the car with the white background, so I painted over the corners of the picture so it could blend in with the whole card. 

To conclude, my last photoshop project was this business card, it took me a lot of time and research to get it where it is right now. I edited it precisely so none of the colors would stand out. I'm really glad to have done this project, I'm looking forward to showing people what I can do and what I can design for them. Working as a graphic and blog designer is a lot of fun, I encourage others to have this as a side job it's a very intriguing thing to do. 

These are references for my color schemes which i used at first;

What is Contemporary Media?

In my Contemporary Media class at Edward Wenzlaff Education Center, our first first post is to define Contemporary Media. I used an online search engine to help me define it. I'm not too familiar with the word so it's brand new new to me.





According to Google.com's Dictionary, the definition of contemporary and media is listed below.
