Business Cards and Swing Tags

These are some prototypes of the business cards I have made. I made them using my print as the background and then adding onto them my logo and other details such as my Instagram page, my website and my telephone number. I have used the same sort of style but played around with different layouts. I wanted to get both my details and my logo onto the business card without it looking too busy, therefore I decided to make it double sided. On the right hand side are the two final cards I am deciding between. I have included in both, my details along with my print to show the different techniques I have used, especially the techniques used to make the print. Below these are my logos which have been printed out onto acetate and these will be on the back of my business cards, as the logo is clear as well as my details without it being over crowded with information. I think overall, I will choose the one on the right hand side for my final business card, as it is the easiest to see the details compared to the other without the white background.

These are prototypes of my swing tags, all have been printed out onto white card, however to add the illusion of more layers, I also printed out the same images onto acetate. I layered these onto each other and stapled a hole into them at the top so that I could feed through a white ribbon tag. I am yet to decide which one I will use for the swing tag that will feature in my press pack, however I think that the first one is the most effective. I like this one the best as it is simple with just the name of my brand printed on acetate, along with my print on the background. I think that all the others look too busy and a bit unprofessional, however this has made it easier for me to see which one looks the more professional. I am also unsure as to whether I should use the white satin ribbon as the fastening on my swing tags as this may look too synthetic and I am trying to convey a more natural and sustainable look, therefore I will probably use some sort of rope or piece of white string. However, apart from this I think the media I have used to create these swing tags look professional and high end.
