C.Y.O.B

C.Y.O.B - Create your own brief.


I was saying in my last blog I was going to create a brief for my final project, I also said I was thinking about going down the rebranding route. 


Well thats what I did... I racked my brain thinking of logos I really HATE and thought immedeatly of Google. I use Google a lot in my life and the logo is really ugly and boring so I though REBRAND. However Google is a very famous and well known brand so I did not want to change it completely, the company is known for there colorful logo. 
So I came up with... Google Seasons.
The plan is to rebrand Google for 2013 and create four different unique logos that will run through out the seasons. There will be a logo for, Summer, Autumn, Spring and Winter so you will never see the usual logo ever throughout that year. The only exceptions to this will be famous dates through out the year which will carry on to have a logo made for them dates.

I will look at some past famous logos and take inspiration from them and see how far I can go with this. 


BEST GET ON WITH IT THEN.


I will be back with my final logos :) 


BLOG SOON xx

I actually COMPLETED an essay!! :D

I have just handed in my essay which I am very proud of, not sure its gonna make sense to the people marking it but the fact I researched and actually took a lot of interest in it is good enough for me. (but I am hoping for a good mark as well, that would be nice too)

The question I chose to do was: 

Examine the way in which graphic designers (a minimum of two) have explored environmental issues in their work – what is their approach to materials, print and production, how is technology changing the format / aesthetic of graphic design? 

This question interested me a lot because eco friendly packaging is becoming more and more popular and is very stylish when done correct.

In my essay I show examples of eco friendly designs and designers.

My biggest interest was in Eduardo del Fraile - I loved his style of work and how just because he was making his designs green, he didn't jus tout his logo on some brown paper and call it a unique eco design.

If you fancy checking out some of his work here is his website - www.eduardodelfraile.com

For the future I am now starting my final project in which I will create my own brief. Everything is in my hands and I am excited because it will defiantly be something I enjoy doing. 

I am most defiantly going towards a rebranding project, but I will keep you updated!!!!!!!!

Talk to you soon :) xx
