This is our final business card

We wanted to keep it simple and easy to read. I followed the layout design I used while designing the website layout.

I think the final result is clear and simple.

Reading - C.R.A.P Design Principles

Contrast Elements that aren’t the same should be very different so they stand out, making them “slightly different” confuses the user into seeing a relation that doesn’t exist. Strong contrast between page elements allows the user’s eye to flow from one to another down the page instead of creating a sea of similarity that’s boring and not communicative.

Repetition Repeat styles down the page for a cohesive feel — if you style related elements the same way in one area, continue that trend for other areas for consistency.

Alignment Everything on the page needs to be visually connected to something else, nothing should be out of place or distinct from all other design elements.

Proximity Proximity creates related meaning: elements that are related should be grouped together, whereas separate design elements should have enough space in between to communicate they are different.

Brief and Group Goals

Poster Prototypes - Sketches

I decided to go for a cartoony sketched look as I think this would emotionally appeal to children if they were to spot the poster on the street as well as adults. All of these designs would be very colourful and but also simple and clean to provoke professionalism within the company. The typeface will be Nuroploitical in various sizes. This font is very space age and emotionally will show the public that these holidays are very futuristic and new. 

The poster with the gumball machine shows a bunch of different holidays (where the gumballs usually are) and then a space man coming out the shoot holding mars. I think this would emotionally appeal to children as we relate candy with children but it also shows that Sky Mars is a family holiday that is for all budgets and is  a lot of fun.
