Rumiko Takahashi

Takahashi was one of my favourite anime artists back then and I read alot of her manga. This is a design sheet/colour version of the main character from her series Inu-yasha. The lines are incredibly neat and interesting choice of colour.

Kozue Amano

This is a scan from one of Kozue Amano's artbooks. The image shown here is a character sheet of some of his characters from the series Aria. This gives me an idea of what layout Im suppose create with my own characters.

Another website I was looking at for ideas. Interesting choice of using black and white for the background and fonts. Im not liking how the contents of the site are all leaning to the left of the screen and why not display it in the middle.

Website showcase

I made several pages of what my website would look like. There's alot of competition in my field of freelance character designing/illustrator so I've put the aesthetics of the site into consideration. I want it to be colourful, bold and simple to navigate.

My business card

This is the final layout of my card. I decided not to make the edges curved because I have borders therefore it might slant went it gets cut in production.

My final look of the card. I had a better border and a slightly lighter green colour.

Designing business cards

To have a business card is crucial because you have to look professional and its convenient if wanting to quickly set a good impression to your potential clients.

1. I want my card to be simple and just have all the basic information to contact me quickly.

2. My main theme is clovers so I used greens mainly. The second idea is too dark for my liking and the information on the card is light to be seen clearly.

3. Out of these designs I like this green colour the most since it feels most relaxing and fresh to the eye.
4. The layout of the image and information is best on the card but the green colour is still too dark.

Promotion strategy with a website porfolio.

To promote myself, Im going to make a website with a porfolio of work. This way people can quickly access my work and get an understanding of what my illustrations and designs look like.
