Project

step1.jpg Print out Business Cards.
step2.jpg Choose a design element. In this case, carp fish.
step3.jpg To be unique, I did the carp calligraphy "koi" myself.
step4.jpg Even though the final size is small, the original is quite large. Note the inkstick in the background.
step5.jpg Printing the character on the back allows me to put description alongside of it. Unlike many designers, I utilize the card's back as well.
step6.jpg For coloring, I use a cheap pocket watercolor set.
step7.jpg Painting is done in batches. Each card is an original! I'm holding the brush Oriental Style.
step8.jpg All the good ones get stamped. Like everything else, the stamp's design is an original.
step9.jpg And we have one finished business card design! This unique design encourages clients to keep my card. With design changes every year, they become marketable collectibles.
