Business Card and Letterhead Reflection

In class this week we were asked to peer review our business cards as well as create a matching letterhead.

I was excited to improve my design and to continue to learn how to use InDesign more in depth.  My goal with my design was simplicity. However, I had a difficult time finding the line between simple and boring. I did feel, though, that the fonts I chose represented the business well. I am happy with the end design, but I would like to know if there is a way I could make the design more interesting while keeping the simplicity.

I think this was my reaction because I am still very new to designing and learning about all of the elements of design. Furthermore, I thought that I would be better at designing than I have proven to be. I think I know how to spot good design, but I have found that it is much more difficult for me to actually create it.
