Business cards.

Made me some new business cards. 






It was important for me to not only give a taster of what I do but not give too much away too. You want people to be intrigued and have a look at the sites you've carefully considered to put down on your business card - I was really attempted to put more info down. 
Another important factor for me personally at least was to communicate that I specialize in hand drawn and hand made work. I printed all of these and cut them down to size myself, (there was a lot of trial and error) with the artwork used being straight from my sketchbook. 
As well as this, the choice of stock was very important. I intentionally went for a very robust and textured acid free cartridge paper (300gsm), you'd be surprised by how much your fingers can make a first impression. Like, imagine a very glossy finish, with a very thin stock, you would instantly get a different vibe about that person, no?
Anyway, pretty happy with the results. Hurrah.

For Arts Sake - Mother's Day A-board 2013.

Made this 1950's inspired a-board for Mother's Day coming up. I found this old card which the artwork is based upon and touched it up with a bit more colour and detail. However, making it as big as it is really compromised the detail, pixels galore. It was a shame I only discovered this at print but from this photo it perhaps isn't too bad for it's purpose. The font wasn't my first choice I'd like to add, the boss wanted something more cursive then the font I originally picked out (Gill Sans) and this seemed the only decent legible one.
