Final Cafe Branding

Now that I have finished this brief and put everything together I am so happy with the outcome and have to say that this is one of my favourite things I've done in the whole 2 years. I enjoyed every little bit of it from the drawing of the cupcakes and teacups to the creating of the menu and loyalty card. Im pretty happy with the name too and think it has a ring to it. Here are my finals for you to see....

Final packaging design

I have now finished my project and to be honest I didnt really enjoy doing it. I think for me to get into something and be able to do it to the best of my ability I have to actually enjoy doing it and have some sort of passion for it. Packaging, unfortunetly I dont enjoy. I do have a finished product that I am quite proud of even though its not my best so here goes. Hope you like it.....

As you can see I was able to create my oldy worldy look with my illustrations.

Cafe Branding Ideas/Development

Im now 2 weeks into my Branding brief and have got a few things I'd like to share to show you what I have come up with design wise. I wanted it to be slightly imperfect/messy (but not too messy) When drawing my illustrations I wasnt bothered about going over a few lines here and there to create that look. I have uploaded some of my Development for you to see where im going with this...

Alternetive Techniques

I have a new brief on Alternetive Techniques which ables me to choose what I think I am most able to do which when I have had a little think about it I have decided it would be branding. I will do some branding for a Cafe. This means I'll have to think of a name, design and anything else that goes along with it. I obviously like branding which is why I have chosen to do it. It means that I am able to do what I like with the design and theres no limits  to what I do. I'll update when I have some ideas...

Packaging Ideas/Development

Over the weekend I have had I was able to go through some Ideas I have had and have started to develop some of them onto paper. Once I done some research on Space NK I seen that their packaging was pretty boring and plain so I wanted to create something totally different for them. Amongst other ideas I had the idea of going down the oldy worldy route creating different illustrations of old perfume bottles, mirrors and shampoo bottles. I have uploaded some of my development so you can get a better understanding of what I'm talking about...

Packaging

I have just recieved a new brief which is a packaging brief. This will give me the opertunity to design some lovely lovely packaging :D. I dont usually like designing packaging as its not my strong point but I like to give myself a challange now and again. I will be desinging packaging for a company called Space NK, this company provide a wide range of cosmetics from makeup to smellies to perfume. Its packagin for a perfume bottle that I will be desinging. Ill blog some more once I have some ideas of what direction I want to go in.

Final Major Project-Primark Rebrand

I am very proud of these and I think this is my best project to come out of my first year. I was able to design whatever i wanted this time round so I think that helped alot with my concantration and motivation throughout this final project. I'll let you decide whether you like my designs or not... Enjoy. F
