I'm sort of the 'head' of the exhibition, so I do have responsibility for the exhibition to goes well, and up to expectation from us and others. So I give my last try to redesign the logo.
My attempt to merge cube (3D) and a basic triangle(2D), tension on the right up corner shows the 'breakthrough'. Highlighting at the points of merging lines to show what is vertex. Well this is what I thought it should look like...part of it.
Be it the left on the right design, decision will up along with the majority.
Final decision will be decided on tomorrow class.
As for my self portfolio and stuffs...
This will be my final design for my 'business' card.. will probably print em on craft paper or texture paper (I freaking love jasmine white)!!
Then continue with my card project, consist of 5 family , 4 members in each family, total of 20 cards to be design..yay!!
I. Typography
II. Logo Design
III. Illustration
IV. Vector Art
V. Photography
And it's Nov in less than 24 hours, by means there's 25 days before the exhibition.
Of course I have to finish up all the designs at least a week earlier to do the printing.
I have aprox. 20 days to finish this card series, and the booklet even have to be much earlier =.=
Our exhibition is less then a month from now.. and yes I'm getting nervous!
I've always been thinking ... How can we link everything into ONE and sending the same message at the same time... What can I do to help the exhibition.. there're so many ideas and stuffs from all the members.
Then this inspired me ~
Everything came along and came to an idea ..
*which I'll be discussing with everyone tomorrow*
I'm in charge for designing the booklet.
My first idea was to have a booklet which also brings the idea of 'canvas'.. since in our exhibition will exhibit a creative collaboration from all the members and form a master piece~
In the booklet will have 13 square cards, each cards feature the artwork that is painted on the actual canvas.
This was coming along as a good idea.. but then something came along .. budget!
I bet these kind of printing will cost like hell .. and we're out of sponsorship.. yea all on our own.
So I have the other idea was, we'll print it as normal booklet, but in the booklet there'll be a 'collection' page. Then, minimized size of of everyone's canvas artwork will be placed at respective booth. I guess it'll be fun for the guest to actually collects artwork from everyone and forms the master piece.. haha
Well, it's still an idea, will promote it to lect and class tomorrow too~
Next, this thing has been bugging me for a very very long time. The logo.
*it'll be very nagging .. but please bare with me..
The logo was done as our first assignment for the exhibition.
Truthfully, it looked more like a sponsorship/company logo than our exhibition logo.
I'm not bashing about the design manner of the logo.
Yes, it's a well design logo.. with the crisp and strong look.
but the problem is .. it doesn't fit any concept of the exhibition.. nor it has any elements then represent our exhibition.
We doesn't noticed the problem until we start designing stuffs for the exhibition and exposing more into the concept and idea for our exhibition, Vertex.
Comment from lecturer is that we have to sulk up with it and continue working with that logo.
In future we can't just complain about how the clients logo design doesn't fit with our print design and stuffs.
Yes, it's true I agree. But this is totally another case.
We're now as designers, designing logo for our exhibition. Now that we've notice that there's problems popping out and the current design doesn't fit the concept of our exhibition... then aren't we suppose to change it?
It's not what we meant that it's hard to fit the logo into our design, but it's that the logo design that doesn't relate or reflect to any part us or our exhibition.
The logo was designed as the first task, and during that time we're only able to get the meaning and idea of the name, Vertex.
It's through times and many research and discussion that we come to understand more and building a stronger idea and concept of our exhibition.
I really do not wish just by the logo it ruined the whole part of our VERTEX exhibition.
Probably we'll still start going on with our stuffs and maybe a better logo design will eventually formed,
and by that time we'll propose again to lecturer~
After looking back on what I did early before this, I don't feel that doing comic/ character design is any necessary.. Well I want to go ahead on this project but maybe not now, not for this exhibition. There's another stuffs far more important to do.. Thus, slashing it off my 'to-do' list .. since I have a whole stack of sketches and comic + doodles =/
ANWAY !! Got a great idea for personal portfolio and exhibition!!~
I'm planning to redesign a deck of happy family cards.
Yes, but instead of the normal happy family cards.
I'll be designing sets of typography family, photography family, vector family, logo family and etc
Then, I'll be able to showcase my best works and skills.
Feeling excited now !!~
I was doing a few character sketch just now. Then it didn't really turned out what I've expected. ugh!
Then I carried on designing my name card.. .. .. nooooooo I don't want to brand myself that way.
Yes, I do love and always fascinated by steampunk-ish stuffs... well mostly are the costumes.. omg!~
But branding myself in that way, I cant do it .. it somehow doesn't portray me =.=
I much prefer a simple yet fun looking design.
So now I'm off looking for 'ME' !!
and yes, changing .. again of what I'm adding into my portfolio .. based on the dateline .. omg.
Artwork that I wish to apply on my canvas. This is my translation of 'Vertex', its 's all about points and lines merging with one another forming in a different form. Simplicity versus Complication~
