Cut Studio

Here is a business card for the new name. I didn't want to just use the name Oliver Shaw. When you log onto the site it will be called Cut Studio and it will say Cut Studio is the online portfolio of Graphic Designer Oliver Shaw. I just think it sounds a little more professional with a name, other than just my name.

I was going down the line of cut and paste, so its not the most random name, it still relates to the a graphic design kind of meaning.

Business cards 2

The same design but landscape. It looks to plain for me this way around, I have no idea why but I prefer the portrait stuff because its different to an average business card.

Business cards 1

These are two ideas for some one sided business cards that could be mocked up. I want to do them really simple like this, black and white and one sided. This keeps it more simple. Printing it on a plain stock will be better for the simple one colour print. I want to find some simple off white 100% recycled stock.

Web site design

I am going to set up my web site with Indexhibit. I was goin to employ my brother to do it but the sites he builds are flash sites and I wouldnt be able to update it to often. So here are two really simple ideas of what it could look like on Indexhibit. I have added a random picture generator on the home page also, this will give it a different picture everytime it is refreshed.

I like the way it looks. I am going to keep all my stationary and promo stuff as simple as possible so it ties in with the web site. Keeping it black and white will be the best way.

Branding

Ive also been trying to work on some branding. I want to keep it simple and black and white. Black and white because of print costs and because it looks cool. I cant seem to think of a studio name and symbol. My mind changes to much. I also want it black and white because it works better with indexhibit. Sweet.

Print Room

I have aquired an evening job in the digital print resource down at college. This will be great experience for me and will give me chance to learn a lot about the print side of my design work. Hopefully it will be also be a good CV builder.

Love N Skate

I am going to do some work experience here at a print studio called Love N Skate. They print Boards and t-shirts for company's and themselves. They also do commissioned screen prints. This will be really good experience for me to work in a professional screen-printers. They guy that runs it is really cool and he'll be letting me go whenever i want, so i have to time it all well.
