Not too long ago, I wrote a short post<\/a> about some free Skillshare courses on typography, presented by Ellen Lupton. What I didn’t write was that for one of those classes,\u00a0Typography That Works: Typographic Composition and Fonts<\/a>, I did some of the projects.<\/p>\n

The assignment for this short workshop is to create a few business cards.\u00a0The first card uses different layout techniques to add hierarchy, interest, and symmetry or asymmetry. The second card is a literary style business card, which looks like a paragraph of text.\u00a0The third is using one word to create custom letterforms to create a business card.<\/p>\n

The first two projects should probably be done in InDesign. The last in Illustrator or some other vector program.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0haven’t yet\u00a0gotten to the third card project, but here are my first two business cards.<\/p>\n
