The Island Project Rationale!















The Island Project Final Logo (zipped) 975kb

Delicious typeface (zipped) 89kb


Rationale

The Island Project brief is based on a proposal in developing a thorough environmental research program of Tasmania's islands. The research will highlight on various aspects of climate change and the effects that come together with it.

Having said so, the logo is designed in such a way to reflect on the nature of friendly environment by using the apple green colour. The leaf further emphasizes on the given subject matter which forms an abstractive figure of an apple.

That would represent the idea of Tasmania also being well known as the Apple Isle, given its' reputation as one of the major exports of apple, besides the fact that the island itself is shaped vaguely like an apple.

Feel free to giving constructive feedback should you need more information regarding the brief of even the whole process of coming up with the logo. Cheers!

Monday's Presentation

Start Time - 22 Aug 08, 11:54am
Breaks Duration - 2-3 Hours
End Time - 22 Aug 08, 4:34pm

Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Here is the brief breakdown of my presentation on Monday. Feel free to add comments or ask questions if you want to. I have not done the Island Project pages yet because I'm not sure if there is going to be anymore improvements since our last discussion and Carlo's feedback. Do update.

Cover Page


Designers Introduction


Introduction to Studio ID

We were looking for a name that means versatility in the way we approach a brief. We thought the word "blank" as an empty space in a page, a place to fill anything in in whatever style we want. The letter K has been modified to create an aesthetic signature for our studio ID while still retaining it's professional look. Being sharp and clean as it is makes it easily readable and applicable to any form of collateral we may use.


Introduction to ITP

These are the designers involved in the ITP Project.

ITP Breakdown

The green percentage sign defines our logo to the client's field of business. It is a symbol which represents numbers, math and most of all, income tax. Green is, as many would recognize as, the color of money. Although not every country have their notes in this color, we still felt that this color looks more friendly and refreshing for the company's clients. Having clients coming from various cultural backgrounds, the need for clear and legible typeface is important. Chalet not only conforms to that, but also seems to retain some elements from the current logo making it easier to relate to. This typeface is also suitable at any size making it a great logo for stationary prints.

minutes sheet (?)

hi - i've just typed what i've got on the minutes sheet so far... i don't think separating ITP and THE ISLAND is necessary at this point simply because we're doing and achieving the same thing.

let me know any suggestions on what should or shouldn't be included to the minutes sheet. to be honest i'm not quite sure what should be documented here.

ITP FINAL LOGO



The Island Project Drafts


Here are the following refined logos for the Island Project brief! Comments are much appreciated!


(a.) I added the red as suggested by a good friend of ours cause it clearly emphasizes on the awareness term. Well, clearly besides the fact that it vaguely resembles an apple just like how Tasmania itself is.

(b.) Just another alternative with a different use of typeface (District Thin being the first and Delicious the second)

(c.) Repositioned the words to the bottom left corner. Design likewise has been the same, as it probably turned out as everyone else' favourite during discussion on Monday class.


Sorry bout earlier on, Astrid! My alarm clock failed on me :X
