Summary/Reflection

I created a business card based on my old monogram design as I have decided to tweak the design a bit. I plan to create a newer business card with the updated logo with the suggested feedback on it from this week. Moving forward I plan to continue on designing and adding colour to my overall brand, – monogram, wordmark and visual marque.
