Personal Development//Crybabies Business Cards.



Spending this evening working on some quick designs for the business card of the corporate client I am currently working for, Charlie LeBeau, body piercer, and owner of Crybabies Piercing Parlour in the West Midlands which is opening in just a few weeks.

I mocked up some really simple designs with the logo and process colour that Charlie and I had agreed to work with- also using Gotham for body copy/type throughout documents to work with part of the logo type and ensuring consistency is kept throughout the brand designs- again, using the powder pink colour upon Charlie's specification and request, going for a 1950's "Milkshake bar" retro theme within the studio (and with a newly painted pink stripe wall in the back piercing room).

Sending over a couple of initial designs, Charlie was actually really pleased with the simplicity of the initial designs and decided to go for the option shown at the top of the page.
Quickly working over the next half hour, got the business card designs up onto Moo with my 10% student discount (the best thing about being a student freelancer!) and ready to print onto their 'Green' papers, which is environmentally and sustainably sourced, whilst still at an impressive 300gsm, along with a business card white acrylic holder.

My largest print order to date (and hopefully much larger ones to come!) the total order (400 cards) came to £101.10 including VAT and postage.

Excited to see the printed outcome! More updates in regards to the branding and advertising before the opening night coming soon.
