Layout Practice

This is my practice of creating name card.

I apply the idea in the book Design Basic Index - Jim Krause to devide the space of image and text.

In the vertical layout, the upper part is smaller than the bigger one used for text information. The same to the horizontal layout. The left space contains the image is smaller than the right space. This make the text information dominant and easier to pay attention.

I like the horizontal layout because the image is tall, it can overwhelm the height of the card but still have more space for text and easier to create the harmony between text and image.
