Taking a cue from the amazing work James White did with his "Gum Card" project I spun the concept off into the final project for this semesters Introduction to Graphic Design final at Marywood University.  Using concepts and techniques learned in class I set the students on a path to design a self promotion trading card using no more than 2 spot colors and black, creating a graphic self portrait, and writing a witty, short bio about themselves while incorporating a small graphic element with custom icons to show their skill set.

 

With this being the inaguraul run of a new project I decided to participate and throw in three chase cards of myself to give the students a little surprise during the critique.
