More logo progress

I tested more ideas and names for the logo in the hope that I would find something perfect but really struggling to get it write.  I may just have to chose the best one and go with it and just see what I can do from there. 

Poster considerations

We had a Crit with Fred to kick start us on a brief we hadn't quite arrived with yet even though it is just a couple of weeks to the deadline. It was an interesting crit and not exactly what I expected but I did find it really useful as I realised it took me going back to basics to get me back on track again. It was interesting to see the importance of really analysing why you are doing a brief and what you plan to get out of it.  I think with this brief inparticular I am really excited about getting started so it was easy enough for me to work out why.
It was also good to focus on 'the problem' Which each brief proposes for us to solve as designers.  Again something we learnt right at the start of the course but something which is easily over looked when it comes to just getting work done so you are busy.

I really want to make the most of this brief and I feel this is a good starting point for me to get there.

Fred mentioned about really over exaggerating with how many visual explorations you need.  It is important to start big and then windle it down so that you end up with somehting perfect. Rather than thinking of 2 things and expanding on them.

It also got me thinking about my other briefs and where I should be going with them.  Specifically with the brief I am collaborating on with Arthur.  We really need to sit down and ask why we are doing it and what all the problems are we need to solve and then just go crazy with concepts and visual exploration.

adding colour to hand drawn type

hand drawn type

After finding the perfect layout for the text I then printed that off and hand drew the type adding a little personality as I went along.  I really enjoyed finding a balance between digital and hand drawn and I feel this was a good way to do that.

I think the fonts I chose work really well as hand drawn type the added little details help make it the one off I wanted. I am now going to scan this back in sot hat I can add some colour and play around with the composition.
