Personal Branding - Business Card

This is my business card that I created to match the logo design, CV and website. I think this is a very professional business card it lets potential employers know what skills I have, so it sort of acts like a mini cv as well.

Psychology of Colours

While looking into personal branding, I wanted to study the psychology of colours to see which tons and colours would be best to use in my designs. By choosing the colours carefully, I will be able to subtly influence the viewers subconscious.

The colour BLUE is well known as a trustable, dependable and committed colour. This is because it represents things which are constant in our lives such as the sky and the ocean. However, some shades of blue, particularly the overuse of blue can be seen as cold and uncaring.

The colour YELLOW is conveyed as optimistic, enlightening and happy. Some shades of golden yellow convey and promise of a positive future. This colour will instill optimism and energy, as well as a encouraging creative thoughts.

The colour GREEN acts as the ideal backdrop in any design as we are used to seeing it everywhere. Natural greens are seen as tranquil and refreshing. However, green can also be associated with illness and government, which give off negative emotions.

The colour ORANGE is perceived as a "love it" or "hate it" colour. Certain shades of orange can generate a sense of warmth and energy.

The colour PURPLE has very mystic and royal qualities. It is often liked by creative or eccentric people. Purple conveys a sense of wisdom, wealth and spirituality. This colour often represents adolescent girls.

The colour BLACK is seen as authoritative and powerful because black can evoke strong emotions. Can make an item or design look more sophisticated. This colour can bring on a sense of potential and possibility.

The colour WHITE is perceived as pure, clean and neutral. This colour aids happiness and security. It also evoke clear thoughts and mental clarity.

The colour BROWN can reflect stability and reliability. It is the colour of our earth so it is associated with all things natural and organic. It gives a person the feeling of wholeness.

The colour GREY can be associated with loss or depression. However, it is mainly timeless, practical and solid.

The colour PINK essentially associated with light red and is seen as the colour of love and romance. It can have a calming effect on a person. It can make a person passive and less energetic.
