OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 01 | Research | The Bear And The Stars Logo Design

Inspiration & Research
Before commencing this brief it is essential to begin looking at previous and current bear logo designs. This will help narrow down which particular bear designs are more appropriate for smaller icon/thumbnail for her Youtube channel initially and potentially her professional website.

The recurring theme of a bear logo is that majority of them are: bold, simple, have at least one to three colours, the face of bear, silhouette of the bear, a paw print and the name of their brand. For example: WWF.

By referring back to these different types of bear logos we (collaborative partner) will individually sketch out bears shapes, northern lights, stars and moon shapes and try to comply them together. These will be share via the google drive so both of us will be able to access, preview and edit each of our designs.

Personal Ideas from other bear logo designs

The client is a huge fan of disney especially the animation called 'Brother Bear' which was mention during the briefing. This is why it was requested by the client that a bear is put on the logo as inspiration to the animation business and degree. Therefore by taking account of this particular interest I will account this to the draft sketches of the logo design. Below are images of the brother bear animated character and the logo for the movie. This is inspiring for creating a bear logo as I can take the way a bear positions and sketch it out.

The illustration on the left hand side will also help influence my sketches for the bear design. This is especially due to it having all the elements that the client has request for her logo design.

Northern light colours

Below are the two collected images of the Northern lights. Due to the request of the client the colour scheme must be Black, blue and greens. Nevertheless there are other colours within the Northern lights that can be experimented with.

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...

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.
