OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 02 | Development 3 | Ed's Hairdressers Logo Design

Secondary Development
In this secondary development stage as following the previous feedback from the client. I experimented with the two chosen appealing colour schemes. Various shapes for the outline  of the Ed's logo were also experimented (diamond, rectangle and circle). The typefaces used for the 'Hair' were Futura Medium, Montserrat Light and Medium, Eurostile, and Alcubierre.

 Below are examples of the experimentations - Whilst using the colour black for the main colour for the logo type, this colour was more difficult to see between the purple and blue and purple background. Therefore the colour white made the 'Ed's' more noticeable against the darker colours. 

Development - apostrophe design
Underneath are the logo designs with the apostrophe included. Different shapes and sizes of apostrophes designs have been combined with the logos. The thickness, thinnest and depth helps consumers to recognise the logo, pronounce it and the grammatically aspect. 





Development - White colours
As shown below the colour white for the main logo made all the other colours of the logo more appealing to the eye. 

Feedback - Client
  • Overall preferred the logos with the 'Hair' next to the main logo title 'Ed's'.
  • They both like both colour schemes, the hairdresser really liked the new colour scheme (blue and purple mix) - request the 'Ed's and Hair' can be coloured in a silver colour. 
  • They like the idea of the diamond shape is inspired by the Brazilian flag shape. They would like this to be a consistent theme for their brand. 
  • Requested for the logo 'Ed's' to be slightly smaller and the 'Hair' typeface that they liked was the one on the top right hand corner (Futura).
  • The overall, 'Ed's' logo design like preferred was the curved and joined up logo design. This will be further experimented. 
  • The other logo design specifically the letter 'M' reminds them of macdonald's logo. 
By taking these considerations that the clients has provided me I will try to correct them as close to their ideal logo that they would like. 

Further Development

Silver logo

Silver and white logo update without

Below are some examples: 

 



Business cards & Pattern mock-ups
During this development stages of producing some business cards mock-ups with the new logo and diamond pattern pattern for the hairdressers and how the combination of the pattern and new logo will look like.

Information included in the back of the card: 
  • Senior Hair Stylist Name : Ed Mascarenhas

Feedback from Client:
  • They really liked the full three diamond colour shape compared to the others. 
  • They did not understand the single lettering until explained. This may be a problem for consumers to understand when reading or using the card. 
  • Typefaces and logo were highly praised.



Final chosen front and back business card designs:
By using the feedback I then completed the first set of the new logo design back to the client and they were very pleased with the results.

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...

Study Task 08 - Typesetting

In this session, we had to look into the re-typeset of Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale using a postmodern approach and a modernist approach. Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale Original  The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll   "Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. "It is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's  tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the  Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:— Fury  said to a mouse, That he met in the house,  “Let us both go to law: I will  prosecute you.” Come, I'll take no denial, We must have a trial, For really this  morning I've nothing to do. Said the mouse to the cur,  “Such a trial, dear sir,   With no jury or judge,  would be wasting our breath.” “I’ll be judge, I'll be jury”Said cunning old Fury;  “I’ll try the...

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...
