I enjoyed seeing this “Business Card Makeover” so much that I had to share it with you!
John Clement is a graphic designer and the founder of J. Sharp Studios in Greenville, SC. As a follower of Christ, he has a heart for seeing up and coming business owners with a professional image. I did a brief interview with John about the recent job he did for his newest client, “Fit for a King” spa (don’t miss the Before and After pics below):
1. John, tell us how you met this client?
“I met this client through a friend. They didn’t start out as a client. I was actually looking for a place that could help with a razor bump problem and my friend introduced me to the owner of this business. After talking with her, I found out that she was a new business in need of my services…and that’s how she became a client.”
BEFORE
2. You did such a great job in taking this client’s image to another level. What was the drive that motivated you?
“First, thank you for the compliment. I try to make my clients look good to their client so that maybe my client will bring me more clients.
My motivation is just creating from a blank canvas and ending up with a masterpiece for my client.
I love the look on a client’s face when they see the finished piece and they say ‘John, you captured who I am and what my business is in this piece…’ Whether that piece be a logo, a business card or website, that’s my motivation right there.”
3. Would you say that the following scripture applied to the use of your talent for this job, and if so, how?
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10
“Tony, I would absolutely say this scripture applies. God has truly gifted me and I know it is gift given to serve others. I want to always use my gifts and talents to serve others so that my talents aren’t taken from me and given to someone else…..like Tony! (Love ya man!)
But all of our gifts, no matter how small we think those gifts may be, must use them in excellence and to the glory of God.
Thanks for the opportunity, Tony.”

This is great work…. I have a question. If you’re doing work for a church, usually they might have an idea of what they want… but I’m experiencing that a lot of clients, especially some churches, might not want to really take it to another level and like playing it safe, with common designs like crosses,church buildings or heraldry designs. As a designer what would be your advice in cases such as these?
