I have began with drawing out a tipi and a merry go round with my signature elephant doodle instead of horses. I personally think that pictures can say so much more than words, but that's probably because I love drawing. This is why I feel that it is important that I use illustration for my self branding/ business cards. Also I am playing to my strengths as my typography skills are not as good as I'd like them to be.
So here are the original drawings
After digitalizing them and adding colour and playing around with them further:
It is hard to decide between which looks better, the yellow or b&w. Initially I tried to use bright colours but quickly decided it was quite offensive to the eyes so have experimented with softer pastel colours as you can see above.
To help the decision I have played around with the illustrations on a business card layout. To make it easier to decide I intend to do some test prints, as things always look different when printed than it does on screen.
I feel like this illustration really translates some of my personality and portrays how I have personality in my designs. It shows my love for elephants, fairs and festivals :)
