While setting up a business card, I learned that the idea of spacing is very important. People need to make sure they have a professional look on their business card and it needs to look clean, presentable, and it also needs to have key information about that person. The framing aspect of Indesign is quite confusing and it is difficult to use for beginners of the software program. I’m not a fan of the software program but with time, I’m sure I will get used to it. While I did this assignment I learned how I could properly implement a .png icon that has transparency. I initially struggled with being able to find something that looks professional and unique on my card but I ended up using an “E” logo which represents the beginning letter of my first name. The logo is simplistic but at the same time, it gives the card a clean look. I also feel that the image of myself on the left-hand side helped give the card character because it is a professionally taken image of myself and it gives the potential business client an idea of what I look like. The most important thing to take away from using Indesign is the certain formatting rules and dimensions for bleed lines, length and width for the landscape, and the margin spacing. It is important to use the specific dimensions from the vista print website because it helps create a better look to the business card and it will look rather presentable. I followed the rules and guidelines for the standard business card and I am proud of the outcome of my final product.
