The Logo

Business Cards

Designed to stand out with a shine

In order to make these business cards stand out, I designed them with a silver foil finish. The shiny silver also enhances the classic and timeless, yet modern, aesthetic I was aiming for. Both myself and the client have received a lot of positive feedback of admiration and astonishment.

Social Presence

Nick also taking advantage of LinkedIn, so I designed his profile image and banner to be on brand whilst effectively and efficiently communicating what he does to page viewers.
