Know thyself.
Easier said than done. I’ve been told that all designers hate designing for themselves. It makes sense; you have to think about your own personal brand instead of someone else’s, your faults and shortcomings suddenly rising to the surface… anyways… my personal branding system combines my favorite things: vibrating color schemes + a chunky typeface with a serif + a complicated fold (see my coverletter/resume folder situation down below.)
