Creating my business cards

I didn't think at the beginning that creating a business card is going to be one of the hardest things to do. Before doing them I looked at many examples on the internet. I found some really nice designed there. A few examples at what I looked at:


First of all I decided, which image I am going to use on one side of the card. That wasn't very hard, so that side was created pretty quickly:


The other side, on the other hand, was really hard to create. I was struggling to put all the details and choose the right font. At first I had an idea that I could use the same style as used on my website. However, it didn't work. Then I changed the font of my details and added some colour, but it still didn't look right. 

Great idea came to my mind that I could use the same photograph on the back as well. So I did that and played a lot with different fonts and styles:










I also tried to create the same style that I have my printed portfolio, but that didn't look good. 




When I had many different styles I asked a few people, which ones they liked the best. And we all likes the same one style. So I decided to try using different colour for 'Photography' word too, just to see which one works the best:






After trying a few different colours we decided the the best is blue. So that is my front and back of my first business card:
