My Design Presence. OUGD502.

For my own personal brand I want to keep it true to myself and the work that I love to create. Much of my work is print based and uses the simple use of layout and colour to create a well thought out and streamlined piece of design.

To begin this I wanted to create a logo for myself, as if I'm branding myself, that can be used over many different mediums to show my work and my style.

The idea behind this logo was to create something that could be used in black and white, so that when it comes to printing the costs can be kept low. However, the logo can be used on all kinds of stocks, including colour so that it can be kept interesting.

From here I wanted to create a business card with all of my information on, so that clients can easily find me when they need to. 

I really like the use of black and white in branding as I think it keeps it timeless, and it looks clean and professional.

From here I needed to create a letterhead, something that could be used when printing out invoices and letters and even emails to clients and potential clients so that the letter stands out against other pieces. This is shown at the bottom of the page.

For the website I want to keep it in the same kind of style as this so that the rest of the brand so that it all works as one. The front page will come up as my work, with a side scrolling gallery of all of my work that I want to show, and the other pages will be about and contact.

When it comes to my creative cv, I wanted to create something a little more interesting and visual, and so I decided that a poster type thing would be more appropriate, so that whoever it is sent to can see my work first hand and straight away which I feel has more impact than just a cv.

I think that this way of contacting studios and sending out my cv is much more friendly and personal, and I can easily attach a letter to it using my letterhead so that it can be individualised to the studio or potential client.
