Here we are, my identity. I'm relitively happy with it, however, I think I will probably have a play with it some more.
I'm really liking the colours. I couldn't choose between the two as I think they both look and work well.
I've gone for simplicity, although I gave it a little edge with the curves at the beginning and end. It looks a little more classy I reckon.

Type work. Letterhead/Compliment slip

Here's my final compliment slip and letterhead.

I can't say I'm over the moon with them, so I'll be doing them again during Easter. I won't be using the same design either. I've been working on creating a new logo for myself, so this will be used instead. I can't wait to get started!!

Identity

I've been trying to create an identity for myself. It's proving to be tricky.
As you can see I've been using my initials within shapes. I want to try and get off this path as it's used so much. I want something different but catchy. I want to come across as confident, creative and approachable. Since creating my first lot of business cards, I'd got feedback which I wasn't expecting. The way in which I'd designed it looked too stylish and upmarket. I'm not into ''fancy'' design and glamour; I like simplicity. So I'm trying to communicate that within my identity.
I'm thinking the way in which I'm going to take this now, is purely using type.

List of 10

I've been doing my research and I've found a fair few companies I'm thinking about sending some work to, to get some feedback.

http://www.bluestonedesign.co.uk is a marketing and branding consultancy. They've produced work for plenty of large brands such as morrisons, siemens, skanska and many others.

http://teabagstudios.com work within brand design, web development and 3d animation. They have studios in Leeds which is very appealing to me as I would like to stay within the city. They also have studios in New Zealand.

http://mccallassociates.com specialise in design museums, commercial galleries and publishers.

http://varoom-mag.com is a contemporary illustration magazine.

http://elmwood.com is a brand design consultancy. Their work is fresh and clean, a style I have a great interest in. They've produced work for very well known companies; asda, comic relief, durex, bbc... They are based in Leeds, so again, another company for a potential placement perhaps?

http://www.miracle.com.bh/index.php work within branding, publishing, print and digital.

http://www.gdusa.com/index.php is 'A news magazine for creative individuals'.

Type work. Business card

I opened my 'business card in progress' file on the college computer and it lovingly unrecognized one of the typefaces I used, so I changed it. :) There's a few I liked the look of so I've uploaded them for people to have a browse

through.

I also tried using another colour. I'm still unsure as to which one I'm liking more!
