To go along with my new postcards, I also decided to create a business card with my new logo and branding. As an illustrator, a postcard is much more useful, but you never know when business cards will come in handy.

For the front of the card I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and make it visually similar to my website design. I simply used my logo in a letterpress style (an inset appearance – so it looks like the words are cut in) on a slightly textured background. with some darkness around the edges to focus the eye towards the centre. I also decided to add some spot UV coating to my logo to make it pop a bit more.

To contrast with the simple front, I wanted to create a visually interesting back that would give a taste of my illustration style. I figured a self portrait would be a appropriate, and I had some fun with it, adding in some characters from some of my comics. I also added all of my contact information on the back, so the front would remain super clean and simple.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the end result. I can’t wait to start handing them out!
