why premium membership
Looks like the title of this post is wrong… this is not a “self promotion kit.” Great illustration though.
The tutorial outlines how you can make one image and apply it to make a full set of self promotional items, (like business cards and postcards) that makes up a kit. I can see how the title may not seem right. Is this the kind subject that you would like to read more about?
Oh! Thanks for the clarification.
Yeah this is something I would like to read more about. It would be nice to have more tutorials like this, the thought of placing them on other things to make a kit may seem like it is just an obvious task but many people forget that it is an option.
I do agree the title is a bit confusing. When I first saw the title I thought of what I could put in my own personal self-promotion kit, I would really like to see a tutorial on specifically that topic. What kind of materials would be a good choice, what other designers like to use, what clients/employers are looking for and so on.

That was my first thought too. Very nice outcome.
Agree with other two posts: Nice illustration but wrong title….premium membership: VERY BAD

I love your style as well LoungeKat! Reminds me of the scenes in 1984 in Orwell’s book. When our guy was drinking his daily gin dose and smoking commie cigarettes at the bar.
