Over the past couple of weeks i have started to think about who i am as a graphic designer and how i can apply this to my identity and self promotion.
As i am in the process of becoming a professional , before doing this i have to create a range of sources in order for my to get myself out there be accessible and contactable.
I want to include a photographic method and portray that i am an image driven graphic designer , in order to do this i have to consider my image design on my promotion to be just as important as type.
In terms of a name for myself , i have gone for my initials, O.C , i will use these initials as a base for my identity and will be including this on business cards , Creative CV , pieces of work etc.
These are difficult letter to work with in terms of visuals , however i can use this to my advantage as i can show my skills in kerning and typography and use of fonts in general.
I want my identity to reflect my work ethic , style and personality which is image driven , clean cut , fashion inspired and positive.
i thought about my initials , and realised that they remind me too much of a programme which i used to watch , the OC.
I though if i am portraying myself as a graphic designer , people need to know that i am one , and a creative one at that.
So i decided to add Design onto the end of O.C.
Through this process i then changed the work to its title initial , D.
I am now working with O.C.D which is also the name of an illness obsession disorder, ironic as i am quite obsessive and compulsive when it comes to my design.
I though i could expand on this and use its double meaning as a concept behind my identity.
I have started to work with ideas for business cards using this concept...
Orange - One of my favourite colours to work with
OCD - double meaning
Fold - Interactable and changeable
Grain - Textured look
Slick and considered feel (hopefully)
Potentially would be printed on a durable stock , preferably some sort of white embossed card.
Also to propose including some photography of leads , this is an image i found on the internet , but i am hoping to use my photography skills and take some of my now photographs as a back image under my name.
I like the look of including image onto business cards , it makes them stand out and appeal to the correct clients , image driven.
