I created the shapes of my initial HB by placing the squares that would look like a wireframe of a website. I also put the pen tool mark on the back of the card because I used it a lot when I designed something with Illustrator. I used Illustrator to design the business card.

I used the water paint filter on the main image because I thought painting is also planning rather than just throwing colors on the canvas.
