Task 5: Create your brand

1) Online presence – 

online portfolio (this could be a website or a profile on a creative platform) 
I have created an attractive website, where I have re-branded slightly, from last year's branding. Firstly, I have updated the Avatar/profile picture to be more dynamic - it is now on a three-quarter pose as opposed to a two-quarter head shot. Later, I will re-visit the colour pallet and as i am considering changing this from pink to red, black, grey and white.  I also want to introduce a comic book style to my website.

This is my website
https://cathyjayart.wixsite.com/cathyjart

I have also changed my user name from Jenny_animates to Cathyj art as I decided that my previous user name sounded too generic. Options I considered for my user name included variations of my own name, such as: JayC Art, Jaylee Art, ArtByJenny and JC Art

I will use online professional media to promote your practice, publicise my work and engage with national and international practitioners, clients, studios and communities of practice. By using Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn; posting regularly; posting work I am most proud of; up-dating my work and keeping the style consistent with only posting digital work.

2) Printed materials – 

business cards (a digital design and one printed copy for submission) - I created a business card - on one side it has my Mary Annings' interior room design.  On the other side is my character design alongside my contact information. to my sure it looked goof in both colour and in black and white i only used the line art for side with my character designs on.

Designing my website/business cards. What went well?

• Both business card designs work well in letting the audience know what my profession is without me actually telling them.
• Both make good use of the space
• they look good is black and white as well as i colour.

What could be improved?
The background on the 2nd one could be a little sharper. However I can't physically change the resolution/DPI I just have to hope it will look good once it's sent to print.I could have used more imagery from my final film so that people would associate that with me.
I also have made a website using Wix. I'm using mainly to show off my different portfolios. It has a minimal aesthetic, like an art gallery. It scales well when accessed on my phone. It has all of my contact information on.

I have also made a creative CV. As I state I earlier posts. I am willing at the moment to just to do anything creative when I graduate. Although this is a creative CV. If there is a specific job role I want to apply for I will tailor it to be more specific to that role.
