Student seeking design advice on business cards

[Leah S]

Hello, I am currently a graphic design student and I’m seeking feedback for business cards designs and a 3D signage/installation for an assignment.


The Design brief I was given was for a reception area of a new design studio.


‘Studio D.I’ is a graphic design studio that specialises in creating digital graphics and illustrations that are used for web and print. They are looking to feature and design 2D business cards with company logo and eye-catching 3D signage to display in the reception area.

They pride their work on being bold, colourful and contemporary and these keywords influence and attract their clients/target audience who seek new and creative ways to display digital content.


The three cards designs I have uploaded I have gone with a concept that displays colour dramatically and used bold shapes and fonts.

Any feedback and constructive criticism on card designs and signage would be greatly appreciated thank you.

It's ok, not keen on the grey logo on the colour background, should be white really.

I think you might want to look at the font choice, it could read as D1 or even No.1. Why only one dot?
Did you come up with the name or were you given it? iD might have been better?

It's too complex - think of all the different substrates, from small format, business card size, to embroidery, to silk screen printing (dye sublimation), etc.

It's pretty - but it would be very difficult to replicate accurately over different substrates and printing processes.

first thoughts.... water colours so artist rather than graphic designer.
Can't say I like the font either and there's going to be issues when it comes to printing in certain mediums as said.

Thank you all for your responses, I liked the wording of design and illustrtation hence the D.I. But I must say I.D would flow better and I may edit out the wording of design and illustration altogether. I will definitely take the colours and font choices into consideration and think about the design being printed in different mediums. altogether you have given me a lot to think about and given me a new creative approach, thanks again.

It is okay but I think you should apply bright water colors in the background on the right hand side of the design as compare to the left hand side.
