I have already made Initial steps towards self promotion, specifically a website, new business card designs and a physical portfolio as well as a personal blog. The website is not yet fully operational but I will provide the link below so you can see the progress thus far. At the moment is is just a mere shell but after final hand in I will have much more time to get to work on it. I have also organised a professional email account to accompany it, so any and all contacts can be given a business card with the dedicated 'Illustration' email address. I think this looks a lot more professional when potential clients check your card.
I regards to business cards. I currently have some but the design is a bit dated and I will be looking to reorder some fresh ones this week. I am deciding between a couple of my designs but some advice may help me to pick the right one. I am looking to order 400 green business cards from moo.com for £89. I am also considering ordering some Post cards, also from moo.com for a similar price. Prob just 50-100 though.
I have a A3 leather bound portfolio but I have also just ordered a newer, more professional looking A4 portfolio for canvassing and interviews. Finally I will be sending out a few pieces of my strongest work along with an accompanying email to some potential clients, businesses and organisations next week. I will use my new email to try and get the ball rolling.
Below is the link to my website, but it is in the early stages of development.
