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.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context. Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung Leah Chen Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Study Task 08 - Typesetting

In this session, we had to look into the re-typeset of Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale using a postmodern approach and a modernist approach. Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale Original The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll "Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. "It is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:— Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, “Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you.” Come, I'll take no denial, We must have a trial, For really this morning I've nothing to do. Said the mouse to the cur, “Such a trial, dear sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.” “I’ll be judge, I'll be jury”Said cunning old Fury; “I’ll try the...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second development work was successful as the colours of the type has been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context. Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme, as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...
