Personal Brand
First shot in over a year and a half. Whoa.
A home office paired with an introverted personality and social anxiety means I spend upwards of 12+ hours in the same room. every day.
Therefore, A huge part of the social interaction I have through out my week is with people online. Luckily video games have always provided me that crucial 'escape' from reality to where i can just grab a snack, log on, and spend my free time laughing with my friends. In other words, I wanted a way to utilize my love of video games to make new relationships with people and level up my social life. This is where my design background came in.
Over the past few years I've adopted the nickname coco bison (long story), and over the past month or so I've developed this persona on Twitch alongside my friend @Jacob Proffer
I took this opportunity to finally create something for myself, and I put a ton of thought into it along the way. The muted photos represent my shy / introverted personality and at the same time, the use of my photo forces me to try to be the opposite. I like to keep my life simple, minimal, and constantly moving forward, so I wanted to portray all of that in this design. (angles, thick padding around type, no crazy filters or manipulations).
Sorry for the novel of a description, there's tons more I could talk about on this subject (video games, making friends as an adult, social anxiety, working from home, the list goes on and on and on), but I'm surprised if anyone even read this far so I'm cutting myself off.
In summary..... let's be friends and talk life over some games?
