Project Description
Designing a business card for Bill was a bit intimidating. Bill Holsinger-Robinson is a well known and respected creative thinker in the Grand Rapids and West Michigan community. The past president of Pomegranate Studios, Executive Director of ArtPrize, Executive Director of Momentum & Strategist at Herman Miller. When Bill decide to strike out on his own, he needed a new personal identity and business card. The card needed to make a solid first impression as well as reflect his design sensibilities; classic, clean, smart, modern and minimal as well as friendly and approachable.Production Lesson(s)
An earlier iteration of the card used a large flood of solid orange, which I learned is not preferred when printing letterpress unless you're going for a distressed, mottled look.
