Branding myself as a Graphic designer

James (Jamie) Smith
MCXI Design
I chose to brand my self with an alternative name, ‘MXCI’, as I took in consideration that ‘James Smith’ is too much of a common name.
I will brand myself as a Graphic designer, illustrator and web designer.

Colour
The colours used are #242424 & #0099cc.
I chose black & blue as these my favourite colours.
Black is also an easy colour to match with any object, item or surface.
Type
‘MCXI DESIGN’, is in a large, bold font to make it more legible from a distance.
Any other writing is in a stylish font.
Font
The fonts used are ‘Impact’ and ‘Gothem’.
‘Impact’ is used in ‘MCXI DESIGN’, as it is a very bold font, making it noticeable from a distance.
Any other branding font is ‘Gothem’ as it is a nice, rounded font that matches with the style of my logo.
Logo
Made on Adobe Illustrator.
Made to match the style of my illustrations.
The design in a ‘eye’ as when I started drawing, the ‘eye’ was my favourite thing to draw.
Three styles of logos, simple logo, text logo and detailed logo.
