OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 04 | Development - Logo | Action against Animal Cruelty Campaign - Petection |

Logo Development 

 When designing the logo for our campaign we looked into some existing animal campaign logo designs. These were: WWF and Peta we took inspiration of how both of these brand logo consist of one vector of an animal and a typeface which is the name of the organisation. Below are list of different animals that we concluded were appropriate to build a logo identity for our campaign.
  • Squirrel
  • Turtle
  • Dolphin
  • Rabbit
  • Cat
We decided to choose a rabbit for our logo design, the reason being that it represent of all household pet similarly to 'WWF' Panda logo representing all wild animals. In addition, a rabbit shape is very distinctive and people will be able to recognize it. To draw the rabbit digitally we used a lived rabbit and drew over it. 

 Below are the pictures and illustrations of the specific rabbit that we referenced and captured with: 
 

                

Logo progress -  Development
By referring from the rabbit photos I drew out a couple of digital illustrations via Adobe Illustrator.


These rabbit logo illustrations were taken in a group crit, so we could have other opinions and suggestions from peers and tutors. Overall, majority of the votes gravitated to the second design as is was simple, clear, has a distinctive rabbit feature and the fur was unique. They suggested to us to try some neutral yet friendly colours to make the logo look welcoming and eye-catching. 

After this feedback was passed on to the collaborator (Aneta) by following the feedback - made some changes and re-touches to the logo. For example, the outlines and the fur details were a bit slight sharp to the eye. The collaborator made these changes by making the details look softer, bolder. Once the outline of the rabbit logo was completed, she then applied some colours to make the rabbit look more realistic. 

Below are the colour versions of the rabbit logo: 


Feedback on coloured logo:
  • The eyes on the white/black design makes the design looks like the rabbit doesn't have a soul. 
  • There are too many details, the logo should be simple and clear also noticeable from the distance. If the logo would be in a lower scale, people won't be able to see the details like dots on the rabbit's face and fur. 
  • The brown colour looks better as it makes the design more friendly and encouraging.
Utilising the given advise and feedback, the collaborator again retouched on the logo's colour to make the design more minimalistic. The details from the rabbit: fur, whiskers and shading were removed. The collaborator also experimented with inverted colours with white outlines. 

To concluded we mutually decided to choose the third illustration logo - light beige rabbit as our final logo for the Petection campaign. The reasoning out of the selection was it implied friendliness, warmth, innocent and suited the concept well.

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 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

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.) The Beginning of Banking in Britain In Great Britain, the modern age of banking began in 1640 when King Charles I, needed cash to pay the (English) army that he was raising against Scotland ( of which he was also King.)to seized the golf bullion that many merchants and nobles had placed in the Tower of London for safe-keeping.
