Business Card


This is the back of my business card. Not Just Graphics establishes what I really do. People had written graphic design, visual communications or both. I thought to say the same thing but in a different way. So Chi Deesigns, Not just Graphics. A way of saying I'm a graphic designer and can do more. Then consept26 (sept 26 is my birth day, by the way i didn't spell concept wrong) says I'm more of an idea person, changed email from baller_chi2005@hotmail.co.uk, because it's completely irrelevant in terms of design. If i have kept it on here, the communication of this design will be so much weaker. Illustration of light bulb supports it, each brush stroke represents an idea coming from different angles taking it to different directions. The information appropriate for it is composed nicely I think there's enough space for the type to breath, and bring forward what I want them to read first which is email and numbers. I am aware that there's two different languages in this design, because of the logo, and illustration with a different type, but it adds to it, as I describe myself a person with mixed interests. The font I used is called Volkorn for my logo and not just graphics. Handwriting - Dakota, a font that looks like my own handwriting, works nicely with my little illustration. People who knows me or even walked in our studio will understand it, but for the people I am aiming this at will not. So I used arrows to fill the space that I really didn't like pointing out, that's actually me on my macbook. In the end, I want my business card to represents me.

Business Card



This is the front of my business card showing my identity. I have chosen to keep it simple. I think it's strong enough to catch someone's attention and communicate what i do. Well, roughly as there are some elements of musical symbols in my logo, I don't want people to think I'm a musician applying to the wrong job. So decided not to bring anymore elements of music in this business card leaving subtlety of this idea as a background of myself. As music does relate to me, my creative CV (a manuscript) and for my first point of contact (piano song played by me and animated) my website will be in theme of music too, but not too much of it, enough to say i play as a hobby not as a career. The reason of how i composed my logo is explained on my previous post, changed from Chi Deesign, to Chi Deesigns because it sounds better.
