In between procrastination and everything else I could not get to compiling some stories that have been on my mind for some time, the little snippets that have been posted over the last few are bits and notes from concepts I am playing with. IN the meantime to finish something I put together this book which is part of the journey of the future characters.

 I debated several times whether to post this or not, it is on amazon, I am still working on my other thing, it will involve multiple styles of creative representation because It goes into weird places and is a love letter to some of you fellow nerds who have visited these strange worlds imagined by Caribbean minds over the years. Anyways this bit is on amazon and here is a link and some pics.

TTMF - A look at their design image

Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Finance Company Limited may not have the strongest or the most attractive trademark. However, observing their work over the last few years, it is clear that they are coming into their own. As a company focused on putting clients into a position of achieving one of the biggest purchases of their lives, the company does its best to use its sunny orange trademark throughout its brand as a connector to its bigger message which is to make homeownership an easy and rewarding experience. This soon to be fifty-five year old company is making inroads with their client base by using Lexo TV’s muppets, ( Ian Pantin and Roger Alexis) real people and home grown, relatable illustrations to talk about a topic that can be technical and intimidating. The combination gives their message greater reach as well as impact.

The image the company is sending is that getting a home is not a difficult process and the company cares about you. They do this by consciously choosing the following strategies...

C O L O R   Choices

Characteristics: Orange, yellow-orange, brown, white (greens and red)

L A Y O U T   Placement of elements

Using the trademark in subtle ways -: The roof portion of the trademark in the layout using the muppets separate the text from the images.

C O  P  Y  Writing

Using local language, slang, folklore, homegrown truths etc...all help with making the client feel literally ‘at home.”
