OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 02 | Development - Sketches & Ideas | Ed's Hairdressers Logo Design

Inspirations
By considering examples from current Hairdressers logo designs. The most common theme of these logo design have a graphic or illustration that is also included in the name of the hairdressers. However, the client did not request for any additional illustrations nor graphics (scissors, hair, etc.) in his logo. Despite this it maybe good to experiment with it incase the client may like it when shown to them. 
Initial Sketches
The initial sketches are simple styles of typefaces of Ed's this includes being in a sans serif style, calligraphy or serif. From the client's request the logo should include 'Ed's Hair'. Below are some examples of sketches. These sketches were inspired by the ampersand '&' for the letter 'E' for Ed's. 



Illustrator Vectors
After discussing which illustrations looked ideal for the hairdresser logo. The clients, chose the letter 'E' which looks like an reverse number three (3). Below are tested vector designs of the hairdressers logo design, some are uppercase, lowercase or a mixture. These vectors were digitalised via Adobe Illustrator to test for chosen colour schemes.


Colour schemes
Below are the three colour schemes that were tested on the digitalised vectors of the logo design. By experimenting these two colour schemes on Adobe Photoshop it is helpful to see which colour scheme works potentially for the logo design. 

  • Top - Original colour scheme 
  • Middle - Brazilian colour scheme 
  • Bottom - lighter colour scheme

Additionally colour scheme added
a combination between purple and blue.

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.
