Logo Mock-Up (Design 1)

After researching colour palettes I figured I would use the skills I learnt earlier and put them into practical use to create a logo for my branding brief. This logo is just an initial starting point as to get a feel for the general aesthetics of my imagined company and their IP ‘Entropia’

Campfire Brand

For the first image I picked some colours I liked and just started to play around with the themes of nature, wilderness, and cold. I like the idea of playing with Juxtaposition, hence the name Campfire and the central focus on on the red/orange colours.

This image is a rough finalised idea, I like the idea of the logo being circular, I feel as though it wraps the information in a bubble which takes away from the distractions of letting the art run further off the page, also it adds to the central focus of the fire.

Overall I feel as though this logo could use some further development to make it a potential piece of work I’d keep for a final hand in.

 

 

Workshop 2 – Colour Palettes

During the second workshop of Semester B I followed a tutorial on Colour Palettes and the importance of complimentary colours within design. For this exercise I started by visiting Pinterest and found images which I liked, from there the exercise continued in Adobe Illustrator and Indesign.

I found the exercise to be more informative than I first thought, and I found myself breaking down every image I liked to it’s Complimentary Colours and Shades. Overall I feel as though the exercise is a good skill to practice, not only does it look visually appealing and professional but it also changes mundane work to something you don’t mind examining further.
