Gridded Concert Poster

 



This project was a pretty fun one as it made me think out of the box in order to create a design based off The Weeknd. I had to do a lot of things in order to figure out how to create the design and figure out how to do things that I was unsure of how to do in Indesign. This included researching how to make gradients, how to make text gradients, what fonts The Weeknd uses in his promotional work, and how to cut out the image in a way that blends into the background just like the original image. This was a bit challenging as I had no idea how I was supposed to do some of the things that I envisioned for the design but after researching, I was able to make the design in a way that I liked. It also made me a bit more aware of the grid as I was still breaking the grid and sometimes breaking it in a bad way, but I was also utilizing the grid in order to make the design for the poster and lining up the text with the margins. I feel like this was a good experience as I was able to learn what makes up a poster at least according to the rules given to me, and how to utilize the space and features InDesign provides in order to develop the poster. I think that this was fun and also a good learning experience as it gave me a test on what we have learned so far through out the year and also allowed me to make something about a musical artist that I enjoy. I liked this project and hope that later in this year or next year we get to do projects similar to how this concert poster project was.

Branded Print Ad: Reflection

Branded Ad Did Your Logo Do Well In The Ad? I think my logo did do well in the ad. The white color I put on it drags your eyes to it first since it contrasts with the dark colors on the ad. I also think its a good way to incorporate it on there as adding the logo to the bean would seen off and in this ad I'm not promoting one specific product but rather the brand as a whole so it made more sense to just leave it near the top of the ad. The logo stands out but not so much that it is the center of attention and allows you to gradually go from looking at the logo then the bean in the middle and then the text of the ad. If I were to change anything then I'd probably use my logo to promote a product. Putting my logo on a cup of coffee, can of coffee, or coffee bean bag would make more sense than leaving it at the top if I were to promote a product. Did Your Brand Research Help In The Making Of This Ad? I think brand research actually helped a lot when it came to making this ad. The ...

Logo Development

 Pencil Roughs For my pencil roughs, I decided to go with a few variations for half of the names I had because I wasn't really leaning towards one specific name at the time. During this process I spent a few days going over my names and what I wanted to do with them. With the names Torres, Alpine Sip, and Kosmik I had somewhat of an idea on what to do for them. For Torres I wanted to go for a script or transitional font in order to make the word Torres stand. For Alpine Sip, I had the idea of making a graphic of the alpine region. Finally for Kosmik, I decided to do a spacey idea, focusing on the cosmos, constellations and other aspects of space.  I personally found some of these sketches to be fun to make and I enjoyed making while others I didn't know what to do and decided to make something I believed fit the font. I feel like I could improve by taking better pictures of the images and maybe putting more thought and effort into those designs I wasn't motivated in making....

My Brand - Initial Ideas

  1. My brand belongs in the Beverage industry 2. The main product or service would be Coffee 3. The motivation of my brand would be to provide affordable and high quality coffee to customers 4.  Pleasant, Generous, Tasty 5. 3 values are to be affordable, have great quality, and have uniqueness to stick out from others,  6. I would like to have a sort of late modern/art deco/arts & crafts style with an aesthetic that represents Central America, 1–500 A.D. or Iberian Peninsula, 1400–1600 A.D. or Medieval  7. High Quality Coffee for Low Affordable Prices. 8. The demographics would be adults or anyone who enjoys coffee. There wouldn't be a gender limit because everybody drinks coffee and isn't specific to 1 gender. As for age it would mainly be targeted towards adults but also includes teens as there are some teens that drink coffee and while there are some kids who have coffee, it isn't directly intended for them.  9. My target audience would experie...
