…for even your most extreme design needs May29th

Having run out of my original printing of business cards, I needed to order more. Being at a bit of a transitional period right now, it was also the opportune moment for a re-design. This time around I took a note from David Airey’s book and left space (significantly less than him mind you) for some note card functionality. I was intrigued when I read his post. I am constantly jotting down recommendations and things to check out for people - I might as well take that opportunity to give them my card!
I also took advantage of the print service Airey mentioned: MOO. Upon investigation, I found they offer a service to print a variety images on the back of your cards (up to 50) in even amounts. While they market this as a way to carry a portfolio in your pocket, I see that functionality as more for photographers, not designers. It did however allow me to experiment with my card. I uploaded two designs, one with a classic logo on gradient background clean design, and one slightly… zany add for myself. Now I will have both a fun and serious card to distribute depending on who I’m talking to, and I ordered a small printing in case they don’t go over as well as planned.

One of the first non-class projects I ever did, back in 2008. Completed this to nail an internship with the Student Environmental Action Coalition. I thought I was so awesome making shadows out repeated of words back then :P …
Re-posting now so I can link to the graphic in my entry for Iconify.it’s “First and Favorites Logo Showcase”. It’s just for fun, but if you’re a designer you should enter - Only one week left to go!

Museum Technician Business Card May7th (1 note)
This project was more challenging than a standard business card for me because when you think about it, it’s an inversion of the standard business card model.
Most business cards feature a business and an individual associated with that business. Since the business is established, the individual’s qualifications are assumed by the client. There are many people today however, needing business cards for their general profession rather than their particular employment. In this case the employer is the target ‘client’ of the business card, and the card must advertise the individual’s qualifications.
In the end an all-text layout with added color for interest and organization was the best solution.

Brewseum Logo May3rd
Logo for a hypothetical museum (The Brewseum) about brewing processes for beer as well as some general bottling services - located in a historic brewery in Harper’s Ferry, WV.
Digital sketchbook post #1… I’ve been meaning to start posting works in progress and current projects here for about a month now, but keep putting things off with many excuses: ‘not till my portfolio/website is completely updated’, ‘not till i finish this job’, etc, etc. But after reading an interview with a designer I admire who organizes a recurring art event, teaches design, and runs a webcomic - his chosen last word of advice was to just get started with what you are wanting to work on and not slow your self down by wanting everything to be perfect from the start. So here goes… :)
