First we created a product go but with a combination mark. So there is a picture/graphic and a word mark/product name. I went home and thought of some cute ideas for the face of our product, which resulted in a cartoony Dino winking with our product's name: Live Stickers was curved around around a circle. I didn't think of any colors until we got to or class but I did want the Dino a shade of green. Once we got to class we decided on doing a blue outline and a great shade of green that represents a childish liveness. I think he looks very Disney but overall I enjoyed crating him, even if we were in a rush. Warping the text around the blue outline was challenging but it turned out wonderful.
Product Logo
Next we created the company logo which after many days of brainstorming and even some ideas from the class we created the Imagination Station. It is very catchy and I love the rhyme so it stuck with everyone. After that we thought of colors from our product logo and saw the value and got inspired. We than wanted to have an orange contrasting color but we changed it to a grey, which looks a bit neater in my opinion looks a lot neater. Than we wanted a wordmark under our company's initials so we put the words there and I helped choose the font and made the great decision to add the black bar.
Company Logo
After our company logo we created the web banner, so this
would be the little rectangles at the bottom of your screen, and let me tell
you I could not think of anything, this was my greatest challenge. But I than
decided on doing little circles in the background because our product logo is
outlined with circle. We also had trouble thinking of a catchy slogan and had
to get help, again. But alas we finished, and I think it turned out ok. It's a
little sloppy but we tried to keep the same blues and greens throught the whole ad.
Web Banner
I did not work on the coupon but it did turn out pretty
cute. We wanted an edge around it to try and get rid of negative space and it
matches the product logos color as well as the company logo. I also had an idea
to make our circle product logo apart of the 0 in 10% which looks good. I wish
we could've done typed writing instead of hand written stuff but it did turn
out good and I guess it looks like a kid did it which is good since we are
aiming this at children.
Coupon
Another girl in our group worked on our product add while I was doing the animation. She did a great job and I had to help with a few things but she did most of it on her own. She wanted to do something creative and original and I totally think she succeeded. She choose to have the logo which is a good idea to help promote our product, than she wanted some coors that go with our logo but that also make it pop so we choose dark blues and black to help create that gradient to make the logo pop. She than added our slogan "Pick, Stick, Live" and added a short description to help sell our product.
Product Add
Overall I feel like my group was very pleasant to work with.
We all have creative ideas that flowed through all of us and created even more and
better ideas. I will say I felt like the leader, just because I had some
slackers, only half the time. Usually we worked hard through the whole hour. I
also did most of the work, but I had my team's input while I did so it wasn't
totally just me. I liked graphic design and I'm very excited to go to animation
next week.
Merci for reading my blog and I hope you all have a great weekend.
Love,
Sophie the First
