Cosplay Guests Poster


This was a rather quick edit that I was asked to make just a few days before the convention. I was asked to just put together a photo of each of the guests, however I wanted to make it thematically similar to the branding of Belfast Film and Comic Con itself. So, I added a gradient on the background, fading from blue to black and gave a yellow/orange one to the typography. The red for the 2017 helps it stand out, contrasting the background, yet complimenting the other typography.

Cosplay Business Cards!





Yay for more self-promotion! I managed to mix my graphic design skills with my hobby of cosplaying! I created the brand 'Agent Delta Cosplay' for myself a few years ago. It's a simplistic name and I stuck to the green on black design I used for my personal branding (and also for this very blog!)

I wanted a sort of 'cobbled together' look for these. So I purposely added textures and weathering to both the front and back of the designs. On the back, I did a 'top secret file' shape, then used .png files of sticky tape and a paperclip to affix a few photos of some of my costumes to the file. This gives an overall 'document' look to the cards and is exactly the character I wanted to give this branding. I then provided my two social media links for anyone who wants to follow me on them, again using simple green text and logos against the yellow folder background. I think I would like to redesign these at some stage, perhaps adding more photos on the back and maybe stylizing the front a little bit differently, but we shall see!

The main reason I made these was because I have been invited to be a cosplay guest at an upcoming convention! I will have a table, where I will be signing photos, giving out these cards and will also have some of my props with me. I will also be giving some talks and helping entertain attendees at

I'm really excited for this opportunity!
