Description
Self Identity work..........finally knocked out a logo that uses my initials and attempts to incorporate my various styles, not super-pro looking but i think it fits me well. (includes both sides of the buisness card just so you know)Interesting enough im using the same balsa text paper that i did in the NIN piece, I like it but if anyone has any ideas for a paper that might work better im all for it, still need to find the right card stock for the buisness cards
Comments and crits are a good tool in becoming better.....share some

I love the business card, the way the text is angled makes it very different and eye catching

please dont mind what i am gonna say . . . it seems to me q and b instead of b and d . . .
you should play with the letters for some more time . . .

It definitely successfully executes the identity part of the package. Not really sure about the letterhead... paper... thingie, whatever-it's-called. It looks far more simplistic then the other items. But who am i to say
But man, gotta love the colors you chose,

Looks great. But isn't it made of 2 Bs. rather than a B and a D?

Haha!......very perceptive......technically yes, in the Kabel Demi font that i used it is a b switched around......but when you mirror the b it will look exactly like a d so i took a little artistic liscence to help with the symmetry. Thanks for your attention

Not sure why you don't think this looks super professional.
Personally, I love the business card layout.
Logo is great too, very fitting for your style I think.
Envelope is great too.
Something seems off with the letterhead however... What if the bottom faded logo was chopped off more like the Envelope?
Just a thought.
Now help me think of a logo for myself! lol just teasin.
I have found it's so hard to design for myself.
Great work over all.

Thank you, i was afraid that it would end up looking to hip and not graphic designer like. Im on the fence about making it all black and white instead eventually but brown is good for now i guess. I definitely agree with the letterhead!!! Did not see that at all now that youve said it it looks off in comparison to the placement of the others thankyou! Designing for yourself is one of the most difficult tasks, i find myself to be the most fickle and annoying client, always wanting something new

Hey nothing wrong with being hip. 
I've been messing around with personal logos for a long time and I just can't seem to decide on anything. Lately however, I've been thinking about something to do with Elements since I'm always drawing stuff like that... not sure though. *shrugs* maybe when I get done with school I can focus on it more and not feel guilty about it. lol
Glad I could help! ^_^
As for the black and white vs. brown I think it really comes down to the feeling you want to portray. Personally I like the brown because (to me) it brings a sense of earthy, flexible attitude. Black and white would be crisper for sure, maybe a little more formal too. Hard to say.

Hmm......ill experiment with both the black and white and the browns....once i find the right paper and finish all my new contact details.......On your side i like the elements idea!.....it starts thoughts and designs rolling already in my mind.....you could have a lot of fun with that.....good luck

Yea I was going to ask you about that little symbol - that's just awesome

I think this works really well, especially if you were to have it printed on a good quality, thick, textured paper/card. If it was me choosing the materials for to print on I would pay a lot of attention to the texture, because I think that could turn this from a good design into a great promotional tool. All the best with your endevours.

i agree with the buisness card i think it could be a great piece to feel and thus add to its quality. THank you!

i like the logo, i mean i recognise it in your avatar but i didn't know it was your innitials - that's really clever!!
i like your overall layout and design, the only thing i'm not crazy for is the colour scheme - i would've gone for maybe white paper and blueish or grey splatter designs...but that's my nit-picky personal preference and overall i think the design and layout are great, definitley reflects your style

Hmm ill take that into account......i do have just grayscale versions of them also though, as part of the project it had to work in black and white too......ill play around with different colors too, thanks for the crit

looks very nice! if you give these to potential Clients, theyΒ΄ll defΒ΄ntly look twice and have a closer look at your style!

Hopefully.......id been chastised in the past that i didnt have a buisness card........im hoping that this looks proffessional enough though and not too radical
π: 0 β©: 0
if it fits you well, it is pro... however i just dont get what you plan using this for or what?
π: 0 β©: 1
hah well i should explain.......as a freelance graphic designer in my part-time, and even for future employment opportunities its good to have a buisness card and other things that you can send to people and clients to keep you in their mind and to spread the word to others
