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 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...
