TRAJECTORY.

University is fast approaching its end and its time to start organising my self and my work in a positive way that portrays myself as the valuable asset that I am. With my initial website now up and running I can now advertise this space and it can be easily viewed by employers. Advertising this website on all e-mails and documents could be a valuable thing to do as it increases the potential of people and potential employers visiting my site and seeing my work.
The website will be the main way of promoting my portfolio but there are plenty of alternative ways to advertise my work

One of the most obvious forms of this is a business card, which I am a bit wary of as it reminds me of the 80's and cheap suits! But I guess they have their benefits of providing all the information in a compact format and if designed in a unique and innovative way could work well. I started doing some research into unique business cards and found this website which had a number of beautiful designs on it.

here are some of my favourite designs:


I really like this design as it would work really well with my projects. its a small manila envelope containing seeds so you get the business card and a freebie! Mine could include seeds for edible plants (herbs/beans/tomatoes etc) the actually envelope could even be recyclable.


Cress hair!This business card also grows. For landscape architets Tur & Partner, when watered the seeds grow throught the plan to look like little trees
I also really like this design. the image is of the author and when poped out it stands upright, would work really well when displayed on a desk or table.










Quick examples of how my business card could look, i think it would work much better printed on a a recycled brown envelope giving it a more rustic/rural feel.
