OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 01 | Development 2 | The Bear And The Stars Logo Design

Typefaces
Below are the selection of typeface which me and my collaboration partner have complied together which we believe are suitable for the client's logo. Majority of the typefaces are sans serif this is due to the request and preference of the client. The reason for this that her Youtube audience and newcomers need to be able to read the name of the channel clearly. Therefore a typeface which is simple and easy to read is vital as consumers/subscribers and designers can identify who's logo it belongs to.
Correction - 'The Bear And the Stars'
Feedback from client
Once our logo designs were our satisfaction we properly refined and formatted them as sent them to our client. The feedback we received from her preference were:
  • She absolutely adores these two separate logos. Below are the two designs: 



  • However she prefers the second silhouette of the bear with the top moon illustration. 
  • The chosen font 'Moon Bold' & 'Moon Flower....
Thus with the feedback given we decided to experiment the northern lights inspired colours  individually with the new combined logo. Whilst my collaborative partner will work on the typeface of the logo. During this discussion we also decided to individually create vectors and designs for the Youtube banner. These will be put within the shared google drive as changes can be made from both of us. 

New combined logo

Colour designs of 'The Bear And Star' Logo
As keeping with the client's request the image below shows the experimentation of Northern light colours on the bear, moon, and stars. By referring to the northern lights images found on the internet taking swatches of these and using the gradient tool to make the northern light colours. 
Banner design for Youtube Channel
Whilst executing the Northern lights banner designs. It was challenging to draw out the Northern lights as sketches. The only way to make the Northern lights look like Northern lights digitally was to use the gradient tool and combined them. With the gradient colours it shows the Northern light affect. 

 

Above are the vectors of the Northern lights.

Below are the colour scheme being tested against the vectors designs.

Secondary feedback from client: 
  • Client really likes the bottom right hand corner logo colour scheme. 
  • And two of the big banner northern light.
  • In addition there was an issue with the chosen typeface 'Moon Bold' as this typeface could not be used commercially. Therefore we had to find a typeface which was similar to it, Yaqub found a typeface called Bpreplay which was the closet. The client agreed to this sudden change. 
Below are some mock-ups of colour designs for the logo with the name  'The bears and the stars'. 

 

 

 



 Client choices and development
These include information of the client's name, profession, company name, phone number, email address and website. Whilst the collaborative partner worked on the banner with is the Youtube banner and edited the stars. I made the banner as the back of the business card.

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page.  The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical).  To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally.  The siz...
