Self Promotion Ideas




Laura De Valencia is a Colombian graphic designer who recently finished the graphic design program at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida:

"I created this coffee bags as a self promotion item for the Student Showcase at school. I chose specific coffee properties such as 'strength', 'flavor' and 'aroma' to talk not only about the coffee but also about me as a designer. The coffee was also relevant since I am Colombian and through its characteristics I could create an easy and fun metaphor about my creative personality."

Love this piece of work from Christoper Doyle a designer from Australia who has used himself as his design and branded himself accordingly using the traditional branding guidelines.

Came across this back in 2008 and was very inspired by it and as this unit deal with self promotion i thought it would be very apt to include it as this is obviously a very memorable and eyecatching piece of work that would get definitely get the designer remembered by potential client. It gives a great insight into the nature of the designer as well as the personality of him. Love it.

I love how this ad brings showcase and entertainment together, demonstrating a new smartphone's imaging capabilities through a magical, microscopic animation. (Fun fact: this ad holds a Guinness World Record as the smallest stop-motion animated film.
