Just me.

Hello! I'm pretty new here and this is my first post. I am working at a local college in a small town as an in-house designer. I am starting to do some freelance work so I am trying to pull together a portfolio and identity. I want to just use my name and keep it pretty clean. I don't want it to get too overwrought. I will be using it for business cards, letterhead, ect. I like the idea of having something simple and then complicating it with a process to give it more character, (i.e. gocco printing, letterpress) but it does need to stand on it's own. Any feedback would be appreciated.

nice, simple, straight to the point.

i'm not usually a fan of green, but the green background [bottom left] stands out to me as the strongest.

only problem is that it doesnt' say what you do. That's not necessarily a problem depending on how it's used.

I like the colors, not seen very often, yet well selected. both the selections on the left work really nicely depending on what/where you use them, your black and white one is perfect for things like faxes/invoices etc etc.. nice work

Thanks for the feedback. I am so insular in my little town in Texas, I feel I have no one who can give me objective feedback and there is practically no design community, so I really appreciate this site (Yay Ivan!), and everyone who takes the time to look at the critiques and comment. P.S. (Harrison) I plan on incorporating the "what I do" part in different ways depending what I am using it on as more of a piece of info than part of the identity, thanks for your post. :)
