Business card..

These are my initial ideas for my business card. I wanted to keep the design simple but still reflect my design approach.

I had them printed in Moo.com on a silky stock. The other side is black and they have rounded edge as I quite like curved shapes. It is also different from standard business cards.

I was going to try and do square business cards but then realise that most people will put them in their wallets and purses and my cards may not fit. It would also mean it would cost more for me to print because Moo.com couldnt do square ones.

These are my final business cards. I will probably revise the design over summer.

Creative CV

I wanted to keep my creative CV as simple as my business card design, keeping it black and white. I had this idea of paper crafting origami Cranes for my CV so they would be interactive.

 

I played around a lot with layout which isnt one of my strongest points. I didnt want the layout to be to fancy as the origami Crane would show off.

This is my final CV.

Designing a logo for myself..

As part of the PPD module we have been asked to brand ourselves. I need to design a logo that represents me and my work. My logo will have to be eye catching and pretty special, but it doesnt need to be complicated.

I have started playing around in Illustrator with ideas. I tried to think of things that relate to me, represent me or just things that I like. The main 3 things were the colour orange, circles and Century Gothic. So the first designs that I have done are combining these three visual elements.

My final logo is a k and a c put together as I am known as Kirsty Cave. The typeface I used is Arial Bold, I think it reflects me as its lower case and a rounded san serif typeface and I would say this shows my friendly and easy going personality.
