Branding myself...

Another task was to work on branding myself as a designer, hence the blog. I started by creating some business cards, playing around on illustrator, looking at different layouts, colouring and typefaces. Which then led on to the layout and design of this blog.

Business Card Work:




This was one of my first designs, I tried out different colours but I think the typeface isn't working here.

I didn't like these designs at all, I tried playing around with the initials of my name, but I think the font makes it look very dated and it's overall a look I wasn't going for.

Trying a whole new approach I kept it simple, and went for a handwriting effect. However, I think this is too simple and this look may be better suited to a specialism like illustration...

One sided: Instead of a double sided business card I put together some portrait styled cards. I quite liked these designs as they were simple, using minimal colouring and clear text.

For these cards I tried out the 2 colours I was favouring after experimentation. I liked these designs as they were again simple using a range of 3 colours, and overall I prefered the looked of a double sided card.
