Branding Development

I tried to develop the a/g combo from my initial ideas but I didn't really work out. Just looked like an lowercase a still. Which is disappointing as I think it'd be helpful to define my self through a logo of some sort. However I wasn't too blessed with the initial characters in my name. I would use an alias I'm not sure were I'd start.
I tried this way instead because at least in the red box it draws a lot of attention to it, simple with just my name in.
I wanted a simple business card that highlighted the important information, red really brought it out.


I really liked Mr.Bingo's Website, however I later found out its actually one from a template which is disappointing so I'd want to use that or something similar to get the same effect. It's straight to the point and says what it has to say. Love it.



Buttons and interaction using my typeface to personalise it.





I tried it using upper cases for my name but I wasn't as keen on it, I would probably do so if I was using a normal typeface.



I was thinking of using circle to highlight the links, like underscores. Dropped the idea because it was a bit too much. Too distracting.




For my letter head. Changed the body copy to Futura to be better for readability.




Created different nets to house the printed portfolio/ letterhead/ invoice, however I decided a DL would be the best solution so then I can house all 3 in a single card envelope. Making it easier, instead of having to make multiple different ones in different sizes to just send everything off.


Wondered what i'd look like in futura, not keen. Too plain.




Added in blue to bring out the fact i'm a graphic designer.


Created a portrait variant just in case to see if i preferred it. I didn't.


Because I'd be mailing this out to graphic design companies, I thought i'd use the word company as a placeholder, making it personal to them when they opened it. 


Decided to make it the front for my CV instead and got rid of the hello company part, instead I'll place it onto the front of the envelope.


The red bit been a wrap around from the back, perforated to become a business card.
