My Moonfruit Website: That's More Like It

I have made some amendments and changes to my moonfruit website. I feel that it now better matches my graphic identity. The dark background with bold colours in the foreground draws on the themes used in my blog.

I have also added a welcome page which I think is inviting with an air of mystery.

Self Promotion: Help Anne!

After looking at various ways of promoting myself through business cards, I have come to realise that business cards are more suited to establish professionals; they are appropriate when trying to to establish yourself rather than getting your foot in the door. As what I need is work experience, and for people in the uindustry to give me a chance to prove myself, I have decided to start a campaign inspired by Stephen Woowat.



Modelling his 'employment campaign' on the charity appeals that we are so familiar with, the humourous “Help Stephen” campaign“appeal pack” includes “I Helped Stephen” stickers, a badge, mug coaster and an interview appointment card.

I could change it up by including 'Help Anne' badges or even a stylish, well designed 'I helped Anne' wrist band!

Ideas for My Business Card: Economy and Environment Friendly Business Cards

Succeeding in a challenging economic climate, as well as a desire not to destroy the earth's climate, require an innovative approach to promoting yourself. This is why I think these business cards by Leornardo Borges for http://www..com/ are such a fantastic idea.

The business card is about the third of the size of the average card . This has clear environmental benefits in terms of reducing your contribution to deforestation. That's all in addition to being cheaper to produce.

I also like the idea of having multiple designs. Especially in terms of a creative profession like mine; it enables me to give different examples of my work, designs and ideas on different cards
