Business Card Redesign

My Dad asked me to print more business cards, the only problem with this… was that this design was made when I first graduated LIU Post in 2012.  I desperately wanted to adjust the design, it was cringe worthy as my designing techniques have changed drastically.  Only changing the design slightly, I am very happy with how these business cards came out.  I sent these cards to my local printer Grand Prix Litho on Long Island instead of VistaPrint like I did the first time around.  Since I didn’t go with an online company I was able to get a better quality product and it didn’t break the bank.  I chose to go with a Satin Matt Laminate with a Raised Spot UV on 16pt cardstock.  I absolutely love these and so does my Dad!

So as I had a little time to myself this March, I decided to take one of my drawings and turn it into an animation. But! I took it a step further. Due to my lack of Adobe After Effects on my computer, I tried to use an OLD version of Adobe Flash CS5 to create this animation… God I need a copy of After Effects 😦

I sketched out this guy bored one day on this private beach on Long Island:

Then I digitally painted this on my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet in Autodesk’s SketchBook Express:

Last I created some clouds in Affinity Designer and animated this guy in Adobe Flash, I think I messed up in rendering somewhere – might need to look that up, but it came out okay for my testing:

The Muckraker’s Punk Sticker | Digital Illustration via Wacom Tablet | By Evan Munoz

| Uncle Skuby

I recently got a Wacom tablet this passed holiday season and instantly fell in love with this device!  If you haven’t tried one of these guys, you need to ASAP! As you can see from in my gallery I do a lot of work for The Muckrakers for my brother.  When I think of Punk Rock I think of grunge, and dirt. So I used dirty paper textures in the background to give it that feel.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Creative Graphic Design Resumes | Along with my NEW Resume Re-design | by Evan Munoz

| Uncle Skuby

As creative professionals, everything we do has to be creative in someway!  At least that is how I feel, so why not dress up your resume?  After all as designers, isn’t our job to organize data in a more visually pleasing manor?  With that being said I found an article on inspirationfeed.com that inspired me to Re-design my resume to make it look like a designer created it.  What do you guys think about this topic?  Should designers keep a standard resume or a more graphic oriented resume?

Andddddd as promised here is my take on this topic.  Please let me know what you think!  Would you hire me if you saw this?
