Lullabamboo

For this next project we are working on a brand identity design. I chose to do Lullababmboo for my identity. Lullabamboo is a eco-friendly line of children's clothing made from bamboo. I'm wanting to use a panda in my logo and maybe some bamboo. Here are some logos I drew some inspiration from.

These are some websites offering similar products.

I started to work straight from my sketches in illustrator. I created my logos simply using the shape tools provided. For the font I just used the brush tool and my own handwriting.

This is the paper system...

 For the website I decided to keep things on the simple side. I just used the black and white logo for the top and my supplementary font, noteworthy, for all of the different selections.

I used my color logo for the signage and hang tag as it is a little more eye catching.

Campus Police Poster

I've been working to create a logo for the RSU Campus Police. I ended up with a very well balanced logo using primarily the type face Gothom. So when I began to translate the logo into a 11"x17" poster I wanted to keep the balance that had been established in the logo. So I opted to incorporate the university logo in the opposite corner as the hillcat and use the words that pertain to the things that the RSU police help facilitate safety in. 

Campus Police

 Our assignment was to redo the campus police logo. Here are my sketches.

This is where I am for a black and white logo.

After the critique I realized that I needed to add a non-type element to make my logo more of a logo and less of a type treatment. I decided to use the hellcat logo and add it into the 'u' to make it more of a RSU logo.

Reinventing the RSU Campus Police

Today we were given the assignment to give the RSU campus police an update, the logos and signage that they are using is very out-dated and on the edge of being ineffective. We were given the choice between a poster, a t-shirt, a car wrap, and a call box to redesign. I'm debating between doing the poster or the call box.

Here is my word list! And a picture of a Campus Police officer with his car.

Rhonda Voo

For My info graphic assignment I chose the illustrator Rhonda Voo. I found her technique very interesting and simple to recreate. The way she creates all of her images is through cutting paper to make scenes with the shapes. They way i'm planning to recreate this in illustrator is to trace the piece and use a drop shadow to emulate the cut paper effect.

This is my final reproduction of the illustration by Rhonda Voo. I used the pen tool primarily, and I utilized the drop shadow effect to make it look like cut paper.

Graphs

Today we worked on graphs and charts in Graphic Design 2. I experimented with gradients and colors, and played with type a little. I'm finding I'm needing to work on color schemes.

Travel Posters

For my travel poster I chose to do Ireland. This wasn't a hard choice for me, because I've been there 6 times and I'm considering going back there for a 7th visit this summer, so I know quite a lot about the culture and the different sights to see. Here is my word list...

My colors will be green (of course) and possibly a grey, I'm eating to work in more muted vintage tones. My favorites so far are numbers 1, 4, 5, 7, and 9.

For my further direction I've chosen green, blue, and brown for my color pallet. Here is a tighter sketch for my travel poster.

This is the finished product for my travel poster.
