Creating the personal brand came in perfect timing for me, as I was just starting to create my social media for my new Etsy shop! I had already sketched out ideas of what I wanted, so after that it was a matter of creating the image in Figma. The gradient I used in the tear drop shape I felt made a encapsulating and mysterious look. In addition, the white border represents white light energy as a flame (something very powerful in my spirituality). I also like that the tear shape is similar to the triangle, one of the most powerful shapes in several religions which recognize a trinity of powers (buddhism, daoism, and christianity) which are each interpreted a little differently but basically encapsulate the same things which are the rock for the rest of the religion to ride off of. It was harder than expected to make the MCS letters conform smoothly into the tear drop shape. At first they were jagged and not smooth. I then learned how to create and use curvature in Figma. After that it was certainly easier to make the letters look more fitted. I had to group the images together to make sure they weren’t distorted when I changed the size onto a business card. I like the way that I incorporated my name and information onto the card, as it looks nice with an hourglass shape next to the teardrop. I thought of making the background a color other than white, but if I were to print this I believe that would make it more expensive, and I like how the text looks and is easy to read on white. I think the font I used has a professional and reliable vibe, which is what I am going for. I am pleased with my final product, and now it is the face of my company!
