designing pack

I wanted to carry on a similar design to the back of the pack onto my business card, I used the same process to make these:

I wanted the main focus to be the illustration, John said that being illustrators, the business card should be an excuse to draw all over it, which I have done. I felt hand drawn type would be most appropriate as most of the pack has been handdrawn, although the font is quite small and a bit too scrawly. I think it is an exciting card though, with so much going on and bright colours it stands out quite a bit. 

For the inside of the pack I re-used the pattern I used for OUIL505 but made it green instead of red:

I like this pattern, I think the muted tones is a nice break from the busyness of the outside of the pack and business cards. Also I like my ink drawn name in white, it stands out well. I wasn't too sure of what to write on my CV so I just gave a brief explanation of the type of illustration I do and give an idea of the aesthetic. 

I did the same pattern in two more shades of green for the bit of card in the back and the sleeve which hold the cards:

I wanted to include postcards with selections of my work so to show the breadth in the mediums I can work in:

I felt the lord of the flies prints are most relevant to how I've been working recently, the mono print shows my interest in printing, the fish show my skill with watercolour and then the collage work. I have had a broad range of styles throughout the past two years so it's a good idea to show what else I can do. 

I then also but my name and email/tumblr on the back in small:
