Orchid Business Card



Before the lesson about cropping - I didn't know how to use pen tool in Illustrator and Photoshop. I often used Magnetic Lasso Tool to crop my pictures but now i find this new method even more efficiently. I read many tutorials about cropping using pen tool before but it seemed to be hard to understand and do like it said word by word. Only practice will bring you success. And now I can do it. Applying the ZEN theory, I can feel pleasant not to do it hurriedly. A way to practise patience :)

I first use black for the background but then I found a more attractive color for the card, dark purple seemed to be better suited.

The picture above is the original size (the required size for the card): 5.5cm x 9cm

Below is a bigger size for a clearer view on this card.
