New Temporary business card.
As I am planning to visit studios soon and attend events such as the Leeds print festival, I thought it would be valuable to update my business cards so that I have something with my contact details on to leave behind, which would give them links to my online portfolio (Behance) and my email.
Previously when creating business cards from my last two personal identity briefs I had tried to create something with a complex concept and lots of detail. However, now as I have progressed I feel that my business card should be quite simple and personal instead, allowing my portfolio of work to do the talking. It will be clear from my portfolio the type of projects I succeed at and take interest in, and so I want my business cards to support this, rather than draw all of the attention.
John had suggested when previously speaking to us, that it is important when networking to show personality. Personality is what makes a person very memorable. I decided to take this advice and inject it into my business cards.
My simple business card design hopes to capture something personal about me and my whit.
The front of the business card is simple and personal using my nick name in a script hand written font. However the business card also uses a pun as 'Sassy' is also an adjective to mean something quite wise, out there and bold, something a little extra.
Therefore this simple little description carried over onto the back of my business cards.
It is assumed when something has a little extra sass it is bolder, more noticeable and it stands out.
I feel that my business cards help to support my portfolio without subtracting from its aesthetic, communicate something about me personally, nod towards my sense of humour and also help to sell myself. The details on the back are also simple to locate through the minimal design and monochrome colour pallet. I have decided to print these back due to the large volumes of black.
