Business Cards

For business cards, I wanted to keep it simple - especially as the title may change to vis dev artist or something similar depending on how the next summer/year goes. I feel like business cards are easily something that I can redesign when bored even if I don't use the design, so I am only really going for designs that work right now and not necessarily as a long term thing.

I wanted to try a mix of different designs based off of the ones in my research earlier. It was hard to decide what to put on though, whether it was designing a new character for it, using one I already have or leaving images off completely. I know that as a character designer, it makes sense to have a character on and show my abilities (as Cara also commented to me) but I just an't decide how I want it. I'm also feeling more positive about more minimal designs at the moment (although this could easily change). I think that I like the two with white and blue most at the moment - I think that the second one down on the right would work better double sided with the URLS on the back and just the middle banner and patter on the front; it's simple but to the point, and I feel like the spaces are quite balanced. 

The other one that I like is the Twitter one - it s one of the simpler ones but it still includes my own drawing and is much more social network based which is what all of the URLs I think I'll be including are. If this was using actual text, I feel like it would look too boring - hand writing/drawing it has a more personal touch, while I like. I feel like the simplicity works, and could hopefully encourage the recipient to pull up Twitter and take a look at my profile. I chose Twitter because it has more of an iconic look than Tumblr profiles, since they are heavily customisable, and Behance ones just aren't that interesting. Twitter is quick and easy, and that is something I think is effective for my current business card.
