Inspired by the flower of the Amaranth plant, this everlasting colour is similar to magenta but with a bit of a reddish tone. The word itself comes from the greek word Amarantus meaning “the never fading flower”. Sounds powerful. #E52B50

The term was originally a French vernacular name for the popular wild poppy flower. This colour is distinguished by being bright red and orange at the same time. So very naturally loud. #FF3800

More visible than white, this ivory colour has a light touch of yellow. Peaceful, warm, and visible! #FE6CC

This deep red is a dye commonly used on traditional Finnish wooden cottages and barns. The pigment was originated from copper mines in Falun, Sweden. Very brick like! #801818

This dull-orange colour is one of our favourites. It derives from the Latin Fulvus, which literally means “Yellow”. Looks like butterscotch, yum! #E48400

From the Latin Glaucous, meaning “bluish-grey or green”. It refers to that powder on the surface of leaves, stems, and fruits (the one you can rub off). We are big fans of this new neutral! #6082B6

This fire-like colour is as strong as a Japanese Emperor. It also happens to be one of our favourite childhood games! #FFC40C

That rich brown colour with copper undertones we all like on our furniture lately? That’s Wenge. Wenge is also known as “Espresso brown”, even though it looks a little more “Latte” to us.  #645452

Named after an ancient city of Xanadu in China, this green-gray colour is inspired by the leaves of a plant known as the Philodendron. How restful! #738678

The Challenge: Create a lasting impression and attract potential training clients Challenge accepted! To best reflect the energetic nature of the trainers at NBworkout, we designed this bold, dynamic business card. When it comes to creating an effective print design, it’s about more than how it looks on the screen.  Paper and finishes are equally important when it comes to crafting quality, thought-out designs. We felt the cards should be physically strong while remaining flexible so that they would not come across as stiff. To achieve this balance between tough and bending we used a wicked 32 pt matt laminated paper. The green colour edging undeniably adds to the vibrancy of the cards as well. The fluid blue to green gradient, bright watermarked logo and perfectly matching green sides help to create the striking effect. Confident and instantly eye-catching, these business cards are exactly the sleek calling card the client was after. Another happy client and some very happy designers too. Win win!
