Studio Brief 2 - Offline Branding, Business Cards

I wanted my business cards to be abstract, and to give a sense of my work, without showing any one piece specifically. I didn't want to pigeon hole myself to one style or image. I chose to linoprint the front, using the blocks from one of my most important projects, about Faslane Peace Camp. By layering two different prints up and cutting them out into business card size abstracts the prints. Letter pressing the back was the fastest and most satisfying way to print en masse with an analogue process - another aspect of my work that is important. By not putting 'illustrator' or any specific job title on the back it keeps it broad as to what I can do, and allows the cards to be specific to the person I give them to - nobody will get my card without a conversation or prior contact first, so that they will already know that I an illustrator, or that I can fulfil whatever role they are considering me for.
