My Website:  https://aaronlaw316.wixsite.com/my-site When I was creating my website, the software that I used was Wix, a free to use website editor. To begin I was given the option of choosing what kind of website to create, to which I responded Portfolio. After this, I was given the option to choose a template for my site. The template that I chose was graphic designer because I believe that this template was the best suited to that of a video editor.

  Business Cards: One example of an effective business card design is the Aurora business card: This business card's design is very effective because it features a stylish and clean Sans-serif font which connotes class and elegance. This also helps to promote the company's artistic abilities very well which is fitting as the company specializes in artwork and design. The backside of the card also features a bright, white background which provides a satisfying  contrast to the font and foreground.  Another example of an effective business card is the this business card by Daniela Gonçalves. This card features a sleek design with the designer's logo printed on the back of the card. The simple black and white colour scheme although, not very eye-catching nor vibrant is easy on the eyes and the recipient can be taken in by it's simplicity.  This business card works extremely well because it uses the bright and striking colours of orange and blue. There are also few bra...
