On this page I have created a series of business cards for fictitious businesses.
The leg, shoe and laces for On Point were drawn with the pen tool. Gradients were created and then warped to follow the shapes. Satin bevel effects were then applied. The background is the black latex filter from Alien Skin Software. Indigo Bio Tech uses two micro photos blended together. The silhouette for Black Dragon was drawn with the pen tool. Surf City combined three photos. One of the background wave and two of each of the boards. The color was intensified to give it more punch.
The background of Web Ubiquity was done with Photoshop filters using the selection tools. The unusual shape for Italian Tile was made in Illustrator by applying a stroke style to a word rather than a line. Poolz was made simply by placing type over a photo.
The background design for Sunshine Doodads was made in Illustrator using the blend tool. For Bamboo Rocket I made the bamboo background by scanning a small piece of actual bamboo and then multiplying it in Adobe Photoshop to create a continuous background pattern. The reverse side used simple flat color while repeating the shape mask from the front side.
For New Life Products I drew the moth with the pen tool in Illustrator. A portion of it was used in the background, screened back. In Foliage First I used a reference photo of a monstera leaf. Using the pen tool I drew the main shapes. I then applied various gradients and textures in Photoshop, warping them to follow the shapes. The background for Off The Fence is a photo of rust. I drew and textured the picket fence in Photoshop.
