Design a BRL-CAD business card #3BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags: design, graphics, 2D, 3D, business card

Design a business card for BRL-CAD. These will be cards that community members who got selected in GSOC or in GCI or even for core contributors can give out to others at conferences, meetings, interviews, etc. The design will get filled in with personal information like name, title, phone number, email, maybe a mailing address too.

Submit a one-sided or two-sided design that can be filled in with personal information and sent to a business card printer (or even printed at home).

Designing of BRL-CAD membership cards can be done in LaTeX, GIMP, Photoshop or any other editing software. Please submit your raw working files (e.g., a PSD or XCF with layers) as well as a "preview" example png.

Search the web or other GCI tasks for inspiration, but make sure you only incorporate artwork that we'd have the ability to redistribute without any restriction (look for CC-BY or BSD/MIT license or public domain content), or keep it simple and fully design the card yourself.

Please DO use any of our formal (the three rings) or informal (the moose antlers) logos, include a link to our website in your design, and be sure to put a "dash" in BRL-CAD. Please do NOT create a military-looking theme, use our old eagle logo, or simply copy someone else's design.

Be awesome, be creative, be inspired, be original. ;)

The design is different and leverages the archer gui, but I don't get how the xml tags relate to anything about BRL-CAD.  Our Archer GUI is also a prototype, so nobody associates it with BRL-CAD just yet.  Moreover, there's little context constrasting the gui and the contact information that the point gets lost.  It's too "busy" and would not bode well as a business card I feel.  Perhaps if the text had been in 3D and you'd used mged instead and the text were the dominant focus... "maybe".  Either way, I feel this concept needs more work, or a different approach altogether that is not quite as difficult to pull off in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Not bad, nice and simple.  I think this is one of the first vertical designs.
