Evaluation for scott

Evaluation – Logo (Scott)

In this assessment, we were asked to create an initial design for a company of my own choice.  So I decided to create a logo for my clothing line.  I had to take my audience in consideration for this task. My audience is roughly my age to round about 25 years old. The software I used first initially was Photoshop. But then my teacher said I should broaden my horizons and learn and use a different software. So I gave that thought into consideration and used adobe InDesign. To help me better understand my knowledge and understanding of logos. I did some research and compared my logos with professional logos.   

I was very effective with my brief as I completed all the tasks that was set, this included the initial stages of my idea which were required was to establish a concept for of my digital graphic.  I had to explain my initial ideas, approaches and relevant research into similar graphics such as Louis Vuitton which is slightly similar to my own logo for my clothing line which is called Vxlca.  Once I have developed and established my initial concept, I am to address the following planning and design areas as part of the planning portfolio.   I have used many appropriate methods and techniques.

Since I have been using Photoshop, my skills and understanding has widened a lot.  I learnt many things such as how to crop really hard pixelated images. I was also consistent with adobe InDesign too also. At the start I was never very confident when using adobe InDesign.
Although, there was a time when something actually went wrong. The only thing that was a bit of a problem. This would have to be how time consuming it was.
I have been very consistent with the use of the software. The software I was consistent was with adobe Photoshop. This is because I am used to using Photoshop and have used it for years and years.
Overall I would say that my level of work has been maintained throughout. This is because again, I have been very consistent with my work on adobe Photoshop and adobe in design. Although to be honest, there may have been times where I haven’t maintained this level of work because I may have had a problem, such as not knowing how to crop a certain picture properly.
The brand that I’ve decided to research and explain about is Louis Vuitton. This brand has a very similar target audience to me, which is why I’ve decided to research about it.  The target audience for my product will be for teens, male/females that like nice flashy and fashionable brands. The age for my product would probably ideally start from quite young like 11 year olds – 20 year olds probably. Because I reckon that’s a good age range. Their lifestyle would probably young, healthy and active. Their occupation would vary to be honest. They could have a part time job depending if they’re 16 year olds +. But they obviously won’t have a part time job if they’re under that age.  So it’s pretty much 50/50.
After comparing and doing a bit of my own research. This enabled me to make my logos clothing line target audience. Because I kind of based the logo I was researching target audience, to mine.

From time to time, I have been consistently uploading my work to blogger. Such as the logo analysis and other tasks set from my teacher.  So I would be regularly uploading and posting week. So that’s been about 6/7 posts overall together in general. By doing this it enables me to gain feedback from each document. Which will then help and better my knowledge/understanding.
In these tasks, I had to talk about and explain different file formats in depth. Such as the Rasta file format for example.  Some of the other file formats I had talked about and explained in depth was raster and vector.
For one of my tasks I had to make a presentation about different file formats
I had to put all these file formats onto my Prezi in order for my teacher to mark my work and give me improvements on how to make it better.

Planning portfolio - developing ideas for Digital graphic


Planning portfolio – developing ideas for Digital Graphic

 

Task 1 – Developing ideas for digital graphic

I am designing a logo for my client who owns a company within the fashion industry. The logo I am making is for a clothing line. The logo is a Vxlca. I did logos that were similar to mine, which helped my research.  The similar which I used to compare my own logo was Burberry London. This one was very similar because it has the image on the top and then the company name on the bottom. Likewise with my logo, the crown which is my image is on the top, then the word on the bottom which is Vxlca.

 

The brand that I’ve decided to research and explain about is Louis Vuitton. This brand has a very similar target audience to me, which is why I’ve decided to research about it.  The target audience for my product will be for teens, male/females that like nice flashy and fashionable brands. The age for my product would probably ideally start from quite young like 11 year olds – 20 year olds probably. Because I reckon that’s a good age range. Their lifestyle would probably young, healthy and active. Their occupation would vary to be honest. They could have a part time job depending if they’re 16 year olds +. But they obviously won’t have a part time job if they’re under that age.  So it’s pretty much 50/50


My design/layout is basically a golden yellow crown then underneath that, the logo company name written prestige saying ‘Vxlca’. So the font will probably be in the adobe family, but it will be written bold but not italic. The mode of address would probably be formal. This is because my logo is quite prestige and formal.

The address mode for logo would be formal because the logo is quite posh with a little class of elegancy at its finest.  The font itself bestows a quite posh tone and manor.

Likewise with Louis Vuitton, I would say their address mode is very the same like mine. Because their logo is very posh and elegant.

The Psychographics for my logo is upper class. This is because my brand would be high up in the table of anarchy. In addition to this, the price would be expensive.

Hence why with Louis Vuitton, it would have the same psychographics as my brand. Expensive price, high up in the table of anarchy and so on.

 The format for my logo is jpeg, this is because I have done my research and found that most if not all logo’s are jpeg format type. Plus my logo looks better and has better quality as a jpeg format type.
