Self Promotion Development

When I started to develop my piece of self promotion work the first thing I did was to develop a logo. I quickly did some rough sketches by hand, then I moved onto Illustrator.

I started looking at some interesting shapes and transitions using the blending modes.

Different shapes and colours

I liked the idea of using a magnet in my logo, to communication the idea of strength, energy etc. I don't think this design has quite the right feel or tone of voice.

I tried using some Illustrative hand drawn lettering, I felt that it gave the impression that I might be an illustrator, it also didn't relate to the overall style of my work and didn't look as professional as I would like.

I started working with these rosette patterns, I like them because they are very versatile and could work in lots of different colours. They have a fun and friendly feel, but when set with precise typography I think they look professional and reliable.

I experimented with some possible layouts for my business cards

I had the idea to make my business card a stickers sheet with 6 miniature stickers on, I think it would make the business card unique and something that people would want to have and keep.

One I had decided on the overall style of my business card I tested out a couple of different layouts. I decided on one of the simplest designs because I think it is very eye catching, it communicates the type of work I do and it has a professional and stylish feel.
