TASK 3

[b1hnd]

ONE DAY PROJECT

For the one day project, we have been asked to go out in a group, taking pictures of the posters and the logos we see there, and then rebranding them, whether it was a poster, a logo, a brand identity, banners or anything else.

I chose B&M logo because i think they could have done something much better than this, also the background is too much if they going to use it with the logo together, the ends of the letters are touching the blue outline stroke and i really find this annoying idk why.

However, i made this logo, i'm not 100% happy with it because i think it needs to be more simple buuuuut still look better than the original one, i loved the & in the meddle, blending with the letters. I also added the dot, sharing to the sun because the original logo got a background looks like the sun rays somehow. I changed the colours shade, it needs to be more vibrant and noticeable.

WEB DESIGNING

After designing the website, i tried using the brand identity colours, purple and green. These two colours have been working will with everything i did before, like the packaging, the labels, the posters. however sometimes using the same colours in a different place seems too much, for example: with the website if you want the people stay in your page as longer as possible the web design should be something comfortable for the eyes and less busy. and comparing between the one i did before using black and green only with the one here, purple is just too much and i kinda prefer the black and green, even though it is latterly the same design and i used only the brand colours but lets say i replaced the primary purple by the secondary black colour.

Also one thing i have forgot, the colours i used on illustrator were CMYK so the different was clear when i used the cods on XD.

WEB DESIGNING

I can finally say that i got the website done, I'm soooooooo happy with the final result even though it's not 100% perfect because some of the details are missing like the things you can see whenever you press some of the icons on the right side, i still have to learn how to make the scroll thingy works, i have made it but i couldn't make it active as a did with the other options where you can move from page to another by click on them. However, this is latterly my first time making a website and i did enjoy it, it didn't even take me that long to get it done and as i mentioned i have chose XD because it is much easier to use compared to Figma.

I love the black background more that the purple, it made the shapes looks like its illuminated, latterly giving me the wanted vibes of something came from the future. i also added the icons i have created on illustrator, instead of using letters and words as i did with the contact page, the basket on the top, and the other little details.

I used my own products on the Home page, the T-shirt and the tote bag. The actual product should have been done this week but i wasn't able to get them print on time so i made these mockup pictures as an example of how they are going to look like.

I also added some informations on the About Us page, about the brand, telling the story behind it and how it's started.

I used the brand identity font, Creative midnight for the titles and Baloo 2 for the rest of the texts, the brand colours are still the same, i just replaced purple by black, that shade of black i have already got on the secondary colours section.

ILLUSTRATOR

Illustrator is defiantly my favourite program, as an illustrator i used to do most of my work there.In this project, we had a lesson about illustrator and then a tutorial about creating this logo so we can create our logos in the future.

I loved how simple that logo look, the blinded blue background was cool and the way we did the cloud out of the three circles.I really enjoyed this activity and i would like to get used to create more logos in the future because I'm a bit interested in branding and making brand identities.

in Design

This lesson was like a short tutorial about inDesign, how to use it, the program basics, how to use the tools to make these shapes.

It wasn't my first time using indesign, i have been using it a lot recently but i had fun making this Christmas card, a simple activity just to refresh our minds. I also loved the bear, mine is not that good but still cute.

we took that lesson because we meant to use inDesign for our id project to create the brand guidelines, exactly as how i did down below.

BRAND GUIDELINES

I have got the brand guideline for my brand identity done, just to get all the ideas, the explanation, the products together in one place. I explained the reasons behind the chosen colours, how to use the colours together, what we can do and we cnat do, the logo, and what do it mean, and of course i added a mockup things to show how the things gonna look in real.

I made a business cards holding my email and my instagram account with the name of the bran. I also got the packaging done, the bags with a neon green colour and the logo printed on. i made a wrapping paper using the illustrators i made to cover the products, the tag i just used my logo with a green on the background.

I also added a professional letterhead, i made it a bit formal, with a whit background and then i added a little illustrations just to have the brand vibes.

I should mention that, the id project was one of the most interesting projects i have done since i started doing graphic design, i enjoyed creating the logo, choosing the colours, making the products and everything else. It actually shows part of my personality by moving from idea to another, because this is definitely me in real life, i keep changing my mind hundred times until i'm finally confident enough about the chosen thing.

WEB DESIGNING/USING FIGMA

I have heard a lot about Figma, and i felt like i should definitely give it a try, i might love i might not, and because part of our id project was creating a website, i thought this is my chance. The design i did looks awful i know that, but i was just playing around with the tools discovering how to use them, and honestly it took me too long to make these two pages, because i should learn the basics first. However i didn't complete it and i moved to adobe XD because it is MUCH easier to use and i don't have enough time to work on new program while the deadline is already close.

But, I would defiantly back to Figma after getting my work done, to learn more about it, i find it interesting and more professional than XD.

ACTING

The acting activity was something totally new, it was a different experience, it meant to be as a practice for the future when presenting in front of everybody, to make us more confident standing there and talk.

However, i don't really have a problem presenting and talking about something i did or something i understand but i found it really hard to be someone else, standing and reading the monologue text was hard, because, it is not my first language and i wasn't prepared myself, i just read it for once, of course it wasn't enough to remember and that made me feel nervous.

[b1hnd]

That was the feedback i got from Elli about my tumblr, i did check these notes and made sure to add them to my work, i linked my work to a topic, more details were added to my researches, i used the arrow to explain as i did with my brand guidelines, defiantly explained why i moved from an idea to another and finally mentioned how am i going to use the new things i tried in the future.

ILLUSTRATIONS

INSPIRATION

Jean-Michel Basquiat

I have been always obsessed with Basquiat, i love his art style, how randomly he sketch to create those masterpieces, sometime the work make no sense but that make it 100X interesting, i love how he use the handwriting texts, the arrows, the little details and everything else about his work.

Inspired by Basquiat artworks, i have created those illustrations for the id project, i have tried using the same art style, the arrows the handwriting texts just to get the same vibes.The font i'm using there was actually my hand writing, i made it look a bit similar to the brand identity font ( Creative midnight ) by writing some of the letters like B and R using the same style, because i didn't want them to look different than the font i used with the logo.

The reason behind me using black and white was because these illustrations were meant to be printed on a black t-shirts and black tote bags, using white paint, but i couldn't get the chance to use the screen printing before Christmas so i will hopefully get them done after the holiday, and i might use them for my final project too.

I have also made these stickers using the same illustrations, they can be used as a posters too, i can get some of them printed to the class room.

VR

Drawing by vr was something completely different for me, it was a new experience, I really enjoy it. at the beginning, I wasn't sure how to use it, it took me a while to learn the basics, the tools and everything, I was drawing and wiping for the two hours, and had only half an hour left, so I decided to make something no matter if it perfect or not, something I can documenting to share my experience.

I found this brush and I was actually impressed not gonna lie, I looked so real like a metallic pipes, I started drawing these lines all around me, and then I added the little pink rings around the silver lines. I was shocked when I saw the result in that picture because I swear it looked so cool with the vr glasses on but I didn't like it that much in the picture.

I would like to go through this again, try different things using the vr in the future, maybe making posters, but i will make sure it look good on the picture as it is by using the VR glasses.
