In the past for PPP I have never created a business card because it has never appealed to me or my style, I have always created something book orientated. Looking back to level 4 I created a set of books that would be useful to others. Since then I have managed to find myself more as a designer and work out a more appropriate self branding but I still have the same love of publication design.
During the You've got mail task I created the little contact books, I love these as they are small and different. Instead of creating business cards I wanted to extend on my idea from first year of giving people something they can use which is a notebook but having them be in my new branding style and much smaller like a business card.
Business cards are made very easily in mass production. I wanted to think of a way that my mini books could be made fast and consistent. I made the sizing 3.5cm x 5cm which means you can fit 5 books on a A4 paper. By folding them in half and measuring the books I bound then used the electric guillotine to make precise cuts making equal sized books.
I choose red and blue colour which is most similar to my branding to make the books.
When thinking about what information to include I decided to only include my website as that includes all of my work I can be easily contacted on it and it promotes my other social media. I also decided to hand make a different face in each one as a bit of run and too make it personalised it also related to my favourite piece of work.
Overall people have said they like the uniqueness of my idea and I want to create lots of them to put out in the Graduate show to make me stand out from others and promote who I am as a designer.
