I have decided that my main focus for my level 4 self branding will be to boost my online profile to generate more noticeability within my work as a designer.
To do this I thought that I could possibly create posters using Photography, graphics or a logo and display them around Leeds. I could then include my twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Behance profiles to boost my acknowledgement in the local area and online.
After talking about this concept during a critique session, It was discussed that I could possibly use a QR code on my designs to make easier photographable links on the posters. It was also suggested that I could make stencils to spray paint on blank posters giving each individual poster more of a handcrafted manual aesthetic.
Other ideas discussed were about my last blog post on my interests and ambitions as a graphic designer. Using lighting and projections was a debatable topic however, an idea came up to include a hole in the business card with printed acetate so that the viewer would have to use their phone light to project my logo onto a wall. It is easier described in the sketch below.
I would also really like to get into using motion graphics and it was suggested that I could use after effects tutorials or digital tutors through the library to learn these techniques and software.
Since speaking to the tutor however, it was pointed out that I am not creating a design studio, I am simply branding myself. Therefore, I think that I will drop the name 'E-Motion' for now, and return to it at a later date. For now I will concentrate on creating an identity for myself.
