My current approach is spoofing Batman posters. I did the movie poster idea because they are striking and extremely effective in selling a concept. I love good movie posters, and always go and see a film if the poster looks really awesome. The Dark Knight trilogy did this extremely well; and of course, they are my favourite movies.
The concept is a progressive approach to revealing my skills and potential to work for a film company. I made the posters so that they could almost mistakenly be taken for a movie poster, but on closer examination you realize it is advertising a designer/illustrator (me). I listed the programs I am efficient in and my website url, and I'm planning to incorporate some contact information somewhere.
After I talked with Nancy, I have a better understanding of what I need to change. Need some consistency with the typography at least so they all tie together nicely, only slightly changing the logo, changing the name, and keeping everything in the same place.
I need to fix some of the type so it's more like the Dark Knight Rises poster, and perhaps just keep the name to "Catbat" instead of "the Dark Artist".
Deliverable 1: most abstract
Deliverable 2: less abstract, but still no face seen
Delivarable 3: comic book style character, even less abstract
Deliverable 4: "Leave behind". Most striking piece, and most realistic character finally revealed. (artist utility belt included)
Deliverable 5 "Thank you poster"
Business card
For the business card, I will move "Illustrator, graphic designer, concept artist" up and give more leading, then move caitlinbateson.com underneath it.
