Business Card Remake

Yesterday in class we got hands-on with our first actual exercise. Our instructor passed out a personally made business card to each student and told us we would be re-making those using InDesign and Illustrator. There were certain perameters we had to follow of course which included using only 2 colors (1 PMS color and black); a .125 bleed, .125 margin; 1 vector image (created in Illustrator); deleting unused swatches; and creating 2 sides in the same InDesign file. The PMS color I chose was a light purple and the vector I created was a logo for my photography business. It was a camera with my name around it, a pretty simple design. This exercise was not focused on the design itself, but instead on the InDesign file and the packaging that followed. It was a pretty simple and fun assignment and I was pleased with the outcome.
