A lot of designers make one big mistake. They design the content too. But content can't be designed.
For example the name. All his designs use short names because they look beautiful. But in real life names can be much longer.
And ofcourse the pictures. It's nice to have round pictures but it is almost impossible to get nice round pictures from every employee.
So when you are designing (and this doesn't only apply to graphic design): test your design using a lot of different content:
Will it still work with longer names?
Will it still work with middle names?
Will it still work with bad / rectangle pictures?
- astrodust 13y agoWhy is a circle for cropping so controversial? Do some people have square heads?
- ohwp 13y agoIts controversial because it takes a lot of effort to get it right. For 50 employees it can be done by hand but not so for over 10.000 employees. Maybe you could use face detection to get the right crop center but even then there will be a lot of errors and waisted cards. Most people have a valid ID picture so it's easiest to use that one.
