Remember, your business card does NOT have to be the standard size (which is: 3.5 × 2")!!! It all depends on what works best for your brand, your purpose, your look & feel.
 * BUSINESS CARD SPECS:**

Other things to consider: paper stock choice, using a bleed, using a spot color or using 4-process color only (CMYK).

**WEEK 9 HOMEWORK **

**1. Project #4 Due Tuesday Nov. 8th at 10am:**
Completed business card, printed professionally, double-sided, on a cardstock paper. Make sure you follow the directions on the sheet I gave you for printing this project!

This does not need to be mounted, just hand the card into me after the class-critique on Tues. You will mount all of the pieces in your identity package for the final project.

Hang on to your creative briefs this time if I already checked them—Since this project will be continued, you will add to your brief and hand it in later.

**2. Reading:** Read the handout from "Designing Brand Identity"

 * 3.** Preparation for Final project & research paper: Think about what you want to do your 5 page research paper on....**Pick a topic** that relates to what you have read about design and what you have DONE with design this semester. **Pass in to me on a typed summary, including:**


 * - Your Thesis statement (see handout I gave you on selecting a topic and forming a thesis statement)**
 * - A 1 or 2 paragraph summary of what you will research and cover in your paper**
