How do you connect your audience with your in-demand products? This project is about creating a branded business identity from the ground up. I'm build a tightly branded package that captures the client's passion & personality and can span a book, food products, website, and social media presence as well as connecting with teams to manufacture and bring it all to market. All this, delivered in very tightly branded and manageable package that the non-technical client will be able to handle both day-to-day and as her business grows. |
| GameDev Professional Portfolios |
(Various) |
| » Design » Branding » Content » Consulting |
Gamedevs deserve to display their life's work in a professional way that helps them achieve their dreams. One could say it's easier now with out of the box solutions, but sometimes too much choice can be worse than not enough. Over the years it's been my pleasure to help struggling gamedevs develop their personal portfolios to a professional standard, whether they're students or senior level- all pro bono. That means they spend less time fiddling with css and more time making us great games to play! |
