OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 02 | Research | Ed's Hairdressers Logo Design

Inspiration & Research
Before commencing this brief it is essential to begin looking at previous and current hair dresser logo designs. Specifically one which only use typefaces this will help narrow down which particular hair dresser logo designs is suitable for redesigning 'Ed's Hair'. The recurring theme of a hair dresser logo is that majority of them are: bold, simple, have at least one to two or three colours. Which Ed's hairdresser colour scheme is: Black, purple and white.

By referring back to these different kinds of hairdresser logos some of them have illustrations of scissors and hair which are semiotic of being a hairdresser. Thus using these existing logo designs as a guide I will take some of their illustrations e.g. hair dresser equipment on the Ed's hair logo.

Personal Idea

The client and owner of the hairdresser is Brazilian and specialises in Brazilian blow dry. Instead of using Ed's icon black, white and purple colour scheme a peer mention to me to use Brazilian influential colours such as the flag. These colours are blue, green, yellow and white this colour selection can be risky to work with due to it the colours being quite bright and is unprofessional for a logo design.

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...

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...
