Personal Branding Business Card

So first I wanted to decided how should I define myself. I made a list of potential fields that I could aim for:
3D Modelling and Animation
2D Animation
Video production
Digital production
Sound production
Multimedia Artist
Design
Web design
Graphics design
Creative Artist
Photography
Filmmaker

I would like to do various creative work in the future. So best option would be to present myself as Multimedia or Digital Artist. All my work evolves around digital space. Animation is not hand drawn and photography or video is not based on the traditional film. This is what all subjects have in common. My work could be described as digital, computer generated design work based on 0s and 1s. So I guess it would be most appropriate to call myself Multimedia Artist.

Few business cards that fit my personal taste:

 As cards says "Delightfully different"


 Appealing back and simple presentation of info

 Creative and unusual two layered cards

 Simple 

 Great adoption of well know name tag design as a business card. Concept that works really well

Clear and Bold

 Gradient background. Back shouts out that "less is more".

 Clear and neat

Clear and simple. Like the minimalism and play of colour.


The "Digital" video, animation, photography concept was floating in my head. As a digital artist I thought how I could transfer this "Digital" concept to my branding and business card. Once you strip down any visualized digital file you get pixels. Pixels create the image or video and there are thousands of them. So I think that is a strong theme for presenting digital arts. I have chosen to blow out picture of myself so pixels could be seen in all their glory. Image will be used for background of the card. On top I will put pixel/blocks/bits text that will should fit with image. Ill put only basic information on it as my name, phone number, e-mail adress and self-proclaimed title of "Multimedia Artist".

image used for business card


I tried different part of the image to see which look best and the winner was eye. It was the only part that when blown out this much still can be recognized and be seen as a shape. Eye also can stand as a symbol of artist because it is one of the  most important tools that one has to use, often artist are described as "he has eye for things" or "visual flair". Eye is framed with text at top and bottom opposite to each other.
