Hello! My name is Hira Karmachela a.k.a BABE ODED, I'm a sharia-compliant artist based on Indonesia. It's been a long time since I made my last post and this is my first post in 2023. This makes me excited to be productive again.

Previously, I thank you for the opportunity given by @acidyo and @hiveph for the extraordinary contest. Of course I hope to win but the important thing is I participate. Hopefully my work can inspire.

Idea and Concept

The idea or concept for this business card design is the essence of HIVE's existence as a web 3.0 platform. I thought of representing HIVE visually as a social media where people can share and appreciate their content.

I don't say much about the HIVE logo because I don't think that's the point of the business card. I want to be short and concise in explaining HIVE visually and inviting people to join with this business card.

Specifically for this card design, it invites people to join the HIVE Philippines community (@hiveph). For this reason, on the front side I designed a general HIVE representation and on the back I designed a specific HIVE representation for the Philippines region.

For visual designs, I'm interested in exploring designs with a doodle touch. I wanted to give this business card design a casual feel. Through doodles I draw icons that represent content, social media, and things that are common in the crypto/blockchain world.

Sketch

The next step is to turn ideas and concepts into visual foundations in the form of sketches. This process is the most important stage where I can explore anything that might be added to the design.

The sketch for this design I made traditionally using pencil on paper. To be honest, I haven't drawn in a traditional way for a long time. So, the experience of this work made me feel nostalgic about my time in the world of visual arts.

Digitalization

The sketch that I made is then used as the main reference for designing this business card design digitally. I used Clip Studio Paint to design this business card which is bitmap based and very good for doodles.

For this business card design, I created it on a canvas with dimensions of 2048px by 2048px with a resolution of 300dpi so that the quality is sufficient for the printing process. As for the business card itself, the dimensions are 3.5 inches by 2 inches.
