ACTUALLY BOUGHT A WEBSITE

Instead of being pesimistic, I want to actually give having a website a go when I perhaps most need it, while my career is taking off from the ground.

I want my layout simple letting my often bright and bold design speak for itself. Including my new brand logo and an about me page where hopefully I can gain contacts. Will attach this website when applying for jobs and share on Linkedin.

I really hope it works out for me, giving me a professional look as well as presenting my work well.

I have begun to update my Behance everytime I finish a project I am happy with, so this will be updated as well and be the first link I send out to professionals when in contact or applying for a job.

It is interesting also seeing the trial sites I created earlier in the academic year, the difference can be seen in being overdone to more minimal. My style has definetly rapidly developed this last year more than before which is exciting and I am becoming more confident and happy in my design style, feeling more polished which was an aim of mine, and I want to continue this.

Self Branding

I find this the hardest task as it is harder to design for your personality and own work, rather than others which the job is about!


I chose a really thick clean typeface as I like my design work to be bold and tend to go for similar typefaces. I wanted to play on the fact my name is the same backwards as I don't have a studio name.
This logo will go on presentations, business cards, social media, emails and website.

Even though this design was a fun experiment, it just didn't work in terms of reading out as hannah

Creating a repeat pattern in this bold typeface makes the letters look like shapes and if printed on a transparent stock for business cards, it would be the same both sides due to the uniqueness of the name being the same backwards!

It was suggested through feedback I make this more colourful and try make it patterned as it represents my style a lot more than just black and white. I used black and white to make it as versatile as possible but this could just be a version.

The branding is fun, expressive, bold, and I feel it expresses everything I want my design brand to be. The logo is versatile with colours being easily adjustable to be more corporate or coloured for certain briefs.
