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.

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...

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.)

Systematic Colour (Part 1) - An Introduction to Colour Theory

The session started by identifying if the red on the apple was really the colour red? Then Danny took us to a red circle and told us to stare at it for a while, he then quickly changed to slides to a white background and we could see the red circle faintly. Why is this? Then he should us a paragraph and asked if we could read them? And we could even though the letters are placed different in a word, we are able to read them. As our brain is remembering and is visually reading it. Also if the paragraph or background is in a different colour, we may or may not be able to read it. Here is some science based on how our eyes can see colours and transfer the different colours to the brain. The eye contains two kinds of receptors: RODS - Convey shades of black, white and grey. CONES - Allow the brain to perceive colour. There are three types of cones: TYPE 1: is sensitive to red-orang...
