Study Brief 01 - Critique: Re-branding Krispy Kreme logo Feedback

In todays critique, we got put into groups to analysis each one chosen brand to redesign. This critique was here to help to get some advice from my peers on our logos, they were their to help out our difficulty we may of had when producing our redesigned logo.

For my redesign logo it was 'Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts', here are the questions that I asked my peers to help me create my final logo and this included their answers to my problems that I struggled with.

Question for Krispy Kreme, Doughnut

Do you think its relevant to keep the bowtie shape or could you suggest another shape that I could use to represent the shop?

I had a mix opinion about this change, as some of my peers said yes as it stays with the original trademark, whilst some agree to change it to a doughnut shape.

Could you suggest other colours that I could change on the logo, as it looks quite retro?

Overall, the peers in my group said that I should keep the colours the same as the current logo. The colour, Red and Green are recognisable and distinctive. One of my peers highlighted that the green dots on the Krispy Kreme packaging is one of the most recognisable trademark of the brand, so I might have to experiment with this.

With the typography should I keep with the Serif and Sans-Serif combination or only stick with one front style?

My peers advised me to keep with the combination of Sans-Serifs and Serifs together. They said it would look better as the current one has the same. Some peers suggested that I could extent the logo of the typography slightly to keep it balance.

Here are some of my work that I presented them with:

The bottom images demonstrate me recreating my design for my logo that I did, following from my peers advice that I tried to follow.

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text. Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock.

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star which has broken the heart...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page. The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical). To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally. The siz...
