Final Copywriting Cards 1-4/7 (front & back) - These cards replace my previous idea of a book as my unconventional promotional item. Instead these cards would be ideally printed on really thick card, and sent out to agencies over the period of a week (one per day) accompanied with a related physical item or gift. Each card contains not only an illustration done by me, but also a line of copywriting, a link to a different online presence I have and the related gift. Each card is numbered so the recipient knows that there is more coming, hopefully leading to a growth in expectation and interest.

Card #3 = Bottle of Scotch Whiskey (reference to Mad Men)
Card #4 = ???

Final business card design (front & back) - utilising my newly finalised logo and a complimentary, bold colour scheme I feel I have here a solid business card that does all it needs to do.

Final logo design process - I decided at the start of this brief that I wanted an identity that looked not only professional, but that communicated instantly. I feel with all of my previous designs, the concept was there but in the real world people would not grasp the meaning behind the logo 9 times out of 10. Therefore I decided to revert to using my surname like many other designers have successfully done in the past. I want the focus to be on my work, rather than a flashy identity.

Development of my previous dynamic triangular logo. Instead of each section representing the work I’ve done in my portfolio the idea is now that each of the 8 sections of the circle represents a skill I have to offer. There could then be 8 differently themed business cards. Everyone loves a series..
