I decided to start with my business card; a logo and something that could be universal. I like comics, and drawing Bat from my last name "Bateson" (ironic that my family crest has bat wings? haha) and Cat from my first name, I came up with BatCat. I was researching cool business cards and got inspired by a ninja star business card, so I figured why not a Batarang? Batman is one of my favourite comic book characters and the Bat-identity fits well with me, so I figured this would be a fun and playful way to get an employer's attention. I thought it would be fun to steer away from the bindings of traditional business cards and do something of my own that not only expresses my passions in life, my personality, and my work, but is also unconventional and unexpected. I plan to perhaps on the back (the blank grey image) to overlay some of my illustration as a preview to what I can do. Some concerns right now are how this idea can be implemented into my portfolio website and in the emails I wish to send to potential employers, and it feels to me that perhaps I need a heaver weight type for the smaller writing, as it becomes a little hard to read at the size I want to print them, looking back.
Here is an example WITH an illustration on the back. I think perhaps I would like to make each sort of unique, with a different piece of art on the back.
Some more examples with different art pieces:
