ORIGINAL SELF BRANDING 

> FORBIDDEN FRUIT STUDIO 

> CLEAN CUT MONOCHROME BOOB LOGO TO REFLECT TABOO TOPICS AND FEMINISM AND WOMEN'S ISSUES FOCUS 

> EMAIL CREATED USING THIS NAME, LOGO AND ADDITIONAL ILLUSTRATION TO GRAB RECIPIENTS ATTENTION 




> As my practice have developed passed the focus on women's issues, taboo subjects etc. a new image is needed

> New logo, visual??

> Illustration on email also was a quick one so a new 


- who am i?

- who am i as a creative? 

- all good designers show this through their identity

- need to look at designers not studios

ANALYSIS

> Designers visual identities comes through their work 

> There is not necessarily a ridiculous amount of branding done for themselves, rather the work speaks for itself

> David Benski obviously has an interesting website and a logo designed for his instagram which helps bring it all together to a professional standard 

> For my own practice I don't need to put too much pressure on creating an aesthetic now, more rather that I recognise what direction I want to go in with my work and its presentation for future outcomes to begin to reflect this identity 

> For now a new logo idea perhaps and step by step plan of where my identity should be going 


INSTA PIC/ LOGO IDEAS





> Does this reflect me as a designer?
> At the moment it does present my aesthetic and my direction
> Don't want to be cornered into a box of aesthetic and at the moment this black backgrounds, digital sleek modern type direction does this 
> Also don't want to feel too boring and simple?

PRESENTATION AND VISUAL IDENTITY FEEDBACK

> I have an eclectic mix and collagy aesthetic 
> You see evidence of my hand rendering and fine art background within my work 
> Having this fine art background gives you an edge over other designers, something different 
> The logo made looks like something that could be floating around on the page, above my work 
> Work could be presented on website in such a collage way, something that feels experimental 
> I don't like the idea of cornering myself into a box with a logo aesthetic or being boring with a simple, plain, conventional logo as I am constantly changing 
> Why not place this 'change' at the centre of my aesthetic?
> 10 different logos, or a new logo every day based on my MH
> Curate sense of mystery with work isn't bad thing 

DR ME 



> You can feel the hands in the outcomes 
> Sense of fine art within the design much like me
> Nick suggests something similar within their work to mine, their book 10 shows how their fine art art style and digital graphics meet in the middle 


> Craig Oldham website on sound buttons 
> Websites don't have to present the visual identity of your work, they can be anything you want, there are no rules to follow, no things to tick off (contact deets/insta?)

BARBICAN WEBSITES 

> Ways to present the eclectic nature of my work in an interesting every changing way on a website 
> Question is how will this be done in a static way on a portfolio? 

BOI WEBSITE


> Created their own currency of BOI = 1 hour of work 
> Really interesting concept 
> Strong aesthetic reflecting their digital design profession and practice (digital type, clean cut shapes and so on) 
> Like the layering of text and imagery 


GERRIT RIETVELD 



> Literal collage aesthetic: chopped up images put together that move subtly as you move your mouse and fully shifts when you click briefs 
> Like the sense of movement within the different visuals shifting together 

EFFECAVA



> More simple, stripped back website design that looks to removal of text when your mouse moves over the words 
> Funny sudden change as the user interrogates this very simple site with their mouse
> Creates intrigue in the artist 

YVES TUMOR 



> Always a favoured style of website when there are hovering images and videos within what feels like a sphere of space rather than a 2D rectangular format 
> Music playing creates experience and immerses viewer fully in the artist's work rather than allowing the user to navigate the site and retain a sense of control over their practice 
> As the work is photography based it can be abstract and floating around, however more graphic design outputs would need information and perhaps more structure depending on how you wanted to present the work 
> Access to site with instant logo above work is the direction I may go in 

RAVECON




> Instant illustration flashing on screen creates instant ominous tone and presents a rave aesthetic 
> click through poster and to RSVP 
> Interesting and quick way to get through to an event link and invites 


NEXT STEPS 

> Think about the website and how it would be laid out 
> Create 10 different logos, keep it quick fun and experimental

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

PPP Task 1 Research

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
