This example is of a designer from Portugal.
Lacking in versatility, I think he hasn't done the final examples justice by not including enough examples of his work in a flat, digital format.
His colours are bright, vivid and fresh, but his logo style seems outdated and predictable. I think the best thing you can do in a self branding/identity project is find something out about yourself that is unique and sets you apart form the others. Where as his logo doesn't say much about him, I think employers will have trouble remembering him and what he looks like, meaning the next encounter could be a little uncomfortable, that's if there ever would be one. This once again shows how important it is to stand out from the crowd and separate yourself from the rest of the design community.
His choice of colour could be a bit of an issue when it comes to ease of printing. It is clearly a specialist colour that will have to be purchased specifically for his branding as CMYK is not capable of producing this colour, unless he went in the direction of screen printing and using a neon ink, with would seem a little unviable for something that might possibly just be thrown away. Something of which I am going to have to consider myself, as I intend to use something which bounces of the page and catches your eye more than other colours.
