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.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

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...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read?

In this Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? We need to use the range of fundamental design principles that we have been taught: Colour theory, frame & format, type & grid... Which all of them gives us a inform comprehension of the building blocks of graphic design.  Overall, our aim of the end of the Studio Brief is for us to design and produce a small publication (booklet, leaflet, etc.) that collates materials which, in turn, can communicate key factors of design principles to the reader.  These are some of the key factors of Design Principles: Gestalt Principles Colour Theory: Systematic Colour Colour Theory: Subjective Colour  Grids  Figure/Ground  Balance  Alignment  Proportions  Canons of Page Construction White Space  I may choose to look at one of these and expand it, or all of these or even a selection of these subjects which I want to present within my small publication that I will develop and ...

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...
