Business Card Designs and Feedback

Business Card Designs -
This is the first design idea I had for my business card, and I wanted to keep it simple. I chose to have the logo in the top corner, so I wouldn't take up a lot of space meaning I could fit everything else in nicely. The colour scheme for this plan, I wanted it to be the same as the logo, black and white, keeping it all simple where the colours work well together. Since I only wanted there to be two colours used, I though it was too plain with just the logo and text, so I added these lines coming from the bottom of the card. With the lines going up to the far left and the lover right corner, I think it makes the card a little more vibrant while also filling in empty space. Then the text has enough space to span across from the right side to the middle.


This is my second plan for my business card, this time using a more vibrant colour scheme. I still chose to keep the design the same, just adding more colour than just black and white. This time adding grey for the background, making the text white to contrast the grey, then having the lines as green and blue. To me, I think all the colours contrast each other nicely compared to the simple black and white design before.

This is my third plan for my business card, this time I wanted to try a landscape card instead of the previous portrait designs. I decided to keep the the background grey and the line designs, only instead of straight lines I used curved/ wavy ones which blended together nicely. I placed the logo in the bottom right corner, where it wouldn't take up a lot of space and also let the lines flow over top of it. The text I kept white to contrast the grey background and going from the left side to the right as opposed to the previous right to left text on my other designs.


Business Card Demo Designs - 

This is the first draft of my first design of a business card. I wanted to keep it as identical as possible with the tools available on Photoshop. The boarder I wanted to be a little thick, and keep all the colours the same as I mentioned before. I re-made my logo to make it work better with the background, giving it a neat look. The lines coming out of the bottom of the card, I think give it a better look than just plain black and white with some text and a logo, so I am glad I decided to keep that detail from the sketch.

This is my first draft of my second business card design. Since I had changed my logo so the text wasn't white anymore, I feel like the black and white text contrast each other nicely, especially with the grey background. The lines being very different colours to the background, I think makes the card look more vibrant and stand out. I do like this design, although I do not think this will be my final choice for my business card. 
This is my first draft of my third and last business card design. The only thing that was changed with this draft, was the lines, they were originally going to be warped rather to being straight. But, I could not find a way to do this in photoshop, so I settled with keeping the lines the same as my previous drafts and sketches. The white with grey contrasts very well and stands out to catch the eye. Personally, think this may be the design I will choose as my final choice, I will then make a final design for this product. 

I gathered some feedback on my business card design, and these were the results:



From the feedback, what is good about my business card is the colour scheme, the design/ layout and the information provided. What is bad about my website is the mundane colour scheme and the fonts being small, a small error in the design and that more detail could be added. The changes I will make to my business are making the fonts bigger and changing the slight design error on the card. This feedback confirms that this is correct design to use for my final product of my business card.

This is the final design for my business card, taking in the feedback I was given, I made the text bigger and corrected the design errors. I didn't change the colour scheme as I still just wanted it to be simple with only three colours.

CV and Importance

Image
 A CV is the most important thing to help getting a job, especially in the Media Industry. A CV is a short document which gives you a chance to show a potential employer to see the best of what you have got. It sells your skills, your experience, and shows them that you're the right person for the job. It is also the first contact between you and employers which makes it very essential to be detailed and portray all your skills and experience in the best way. You can also tailor your CV to the job you would apply for, which would make it more likely to get an interview. What makes a good CV is being honest but showing all your skills and experience in the best way possible. Also tailoring your CV to fit requirements of the job you are applying for, if you applied for a part time job in a bar, you'd want to show your skills and experience working in that type of environment.    I think I would be suitable for this position as I have a lot of experience working with custome...

Self Evaluation

Since beginning these activities I have gained much more knowledge regarding opportunities during and after college, creating a brand identity, having a good digital profile (social media accounts and websites etc.) and constructing a good portfolio to show to future employers. Research into Future Options - At the start of the unit, my initial thoughts for after college were to try and find a job in a media company as I had no intentions of continuing on to University. Since I started by researching opportunities in media after finishing college and moving into either the world of work to continuing in education. I also spoke about one of my media inspirations, who is Quentin Tarantino. From my research into future options in either education or a career, I have learned about the number of roles available in a media career, and how far you are able to progress from starting as a runner in any media company. Also, the apprenticeships available for those finishing college with a wide ra...

Website Designs - Rough Edits

Image
I have worked on rough edits for how I would like my website to laid out. I want to have 4 pages being Home, Work, Contact and About. This is the rough design that I have for my Home page of the website. I have places my logo in the top left corner aside where the buttons will be to direct you to the other pages. When on any of the pages, I want the buttons to have an outline to show which page you are on. The colour scheme of the website, I have chose it to be the same as one of the business car designs I made with the colours being blue, green. white and black. Since I don't want the website to be bland, I have used the same sort of style that I used for my business cards with the coloured lines which span across the screen from one point. Personally I think that using the same type of design/layout as my business cards will help make the website stand out that little bit more while also having continuity with my other designs. I will change the text font when creating the websit...
