OUDF602: Business Cards | Development

To create my business cards, I decided I needed a professional to do this for me, I then commissioned a designer from America to create me a logo that I would use for freelance work in Film & Photography. The designer charges $60 for one design including 2 revisions when you don't like the initial design. 

It was quite interesting to to be the client for once and call all the shots. What I first did to get the design started was write him a brief of exactly what I wanted & also send source material to give him an idea of what I want the final outcome to look like. 

Here's the brief below:
