business card

one that I made for my blog just for fun...

Promotional Statement

I plan on creating several promotional materials. The first will be a business card. Business cards are extremely useful because they are small, portable, and have all the information needed on them. The business card will promote me as an illustrator and portrait photographer.
Another option would be a flyer or poster, something which would work well on bulletin boards. It would have a brief overview of my services with examples of my artwork and possibly business cards at the bottom for people to take.
Another option is a postcard, advertising me as a portrait photographer. It'd have a good example and be snazzy n stuff.

I am well aware of this statement and how it needs to be fixed a lot, but as of right now I'm not sure how to make 500 words out of this since I haven't made it yet.

Promotional Material Examples: stuff that makes me just wanna buy buy buy

Yee-Haw Print Shop in Knoxville, TN (right next to my home town), Makes amazing posters. Their sense of humor and unique print and illustration style make their stuff in high demand and well recognized. Here is a poster they made for the Farmer's Market in Market Square.

Okay, fake event, but still a great poster. Again, by Yee-Haw Print Shop.

Here are the business card designs for Matthew Inman, the creator of The Oatmeal, an awesome site with funny comics and a good use of illustrator and vectors.

So these cards are cool because they are half the size of normal ones, simple, and colorful. Very creative yet professional.

here's a link to how he made them: link

Here's an example of a great and interesting post card design.

okay this is a great design, because it folds into the size of the business card, but it opens up to a bigger, postcard size, plus it's got a "return this card" element, allowing people to also return information.

and the colors are nice, and the text is easy to understand.

new logo design

This is a logo design I made for a blog of mine. Just thought I'd post it, since I learned how to make it in this wonderful class.
