Class Assignment: Personal Stationery System
Due: November 3
Deliverables: 2–3 comps of each item

Overview
A personal stationery system is a set of coordinated materials used to present yourself professionally and communicate with prospective clients, collaborators, and partners. These materials should work together to establish a consistent visual identity and communicate who you are as a creative professional.

For this assignment, you will develop a cohesive stationery system that reflects your personal brand, design sensibility, and professional identity.

Required Deliverables
Create 2–3 design comps for each of the following:

Letterhead — A branded document for professional correspondence, such as letters, proposals, or invoices.

Envelope — An envelope design that coordinates with your letterhead and carries your visual identity.

Business Card — A compact, professional introduction that communicates your name, role, and contact information.

Your designs should feel connected as a system while allowing each piece to serve its specific purpose.
