FAYEMOUS
Business Cards & Flyers
OVERVIEW
Faye Salangsang is a full-time school director and part-time make-up artist. This project helped her create her brand, logo, business card, flyers, and post cards. She distributed them to everyone she knows that may be interested in hiring her for an occasion, event or just needed a personal makeover. Faye was open to all opportunities that comes her way.
OBJECTIVES
Establish brand and logo
Promote services
Increase brand awareness
Acquire clients
Establish and broaden business network
INVOLVEMENT
As a Freelance Business Marketing Consultant and Graphic Designer, I was able to help Faye develop her brand, logo, and business vision. I designed her logo, business card, flyer, and postcard, while implementing her ideas and message to her clients and prospects. She wanted to convey the message that true beauty lies deep within. Although her makeup services can enhance one’s physical appearance, it was important for her to make her clients understand the importance of self-worth and inner beauty. I coordinated and placed this printing order with a vendor, managed the proof approvals on her behalf and ensured timely delivery.
​RESULTS
Faye was able to spread the word about her makeup artistry business, using the printed materials we have worked on together. She was hired to do a few weddings, where she worked on the bride and bridal party. She keeps herself available for a chance to encourage women to realize their self-worth and inner beauty through her make-up artistry and free counselling.
