OUDG504 - Blogging workshop

From the task i have learnt a lot more about blogging and how to improve my blogging. i have found out that you shouldn't always blog in the 1st person and try to disrupted language. however 1st person is ok is your reflecting or blogging on PPP.
Looking back at my blogs i feel could improve my blog a lot more now. i need to be more positive about my work and talk about why it work and that it works. 




Task 1

OLD

The logo came out better than i thought it would, changing it to be more manly was a great idea and im glad i made the change. I have made to logos to company could use both and just switch between both. The main logo is the one with the trees. This we used on the t-shirts, bags, posters, stickers and much more. However if it needs to be really small the logo or want to create a really simple bag design, poster or sticker you could use the logotype. Both work really well and are really street clothing and modern. i think this links well with the Target market modern, young and men. The logo is the type of logo i would see on mens street clothing / t-shirt company so i think it fits well with the company and image of the company. I'm really happy with this logo is very versatile and could be used on pretty much anything and clothing company would use there logo on.

The logo came out a lot better and the fist idea, changing it to be manlier was a great idea from the crit feedback. Creating two logos it means the company owners can switch between the two, the main logo is the tree one this could be used on the t-shirts, bags, posters, stickers and much more, however if it need to be made smaller or they wanted to use a simpler logo they could use the other one instead. It may need to be used on recipes, t-shirts and more. Both logos work really well and are looks like street clothing and street art. This links well with the target market modern, young, men, bold and clear. The logo is a type of logo you would see on men’s street clothing similar to Obey and Only NY. The logo is very versatile and could be used on pretty much anything a clothing company would their logo on.




Task 2

OLD

I continued to play around with the type i found DIN and Helvetica both looked good so i decided to put them together to see how it looked and it came out really well. It was modern bold and clear. i put Helvetica in Bold Oblique as i thought it looked good having different to the straight DIN typeface. 

NEW

Continued to play around with the typefaces. Then found DIN and Helvetica both looked bold and communicated modern, clear and minimal, perfected for a modern company aimed at men. Then decided to place them together to see how they looked, the design came out strong, bold, modern and clear similar to some of the logos from the primary research.  






TASK 3

What is the different between the following types of writing?

Describing
Analysing
Evaluating
Contextualising
Theorising
Narrating

OLD

From my feedback in the crit, my first idea for the logo was too feminine and needed to more manly. As this is the main target audience however girls could wear the clothes as well. 

NEW

From the feedback in the crit my first idea for the logo was too feminine and need to be manlier. The reason why the work was feminine is because of the style of writing was script and the flicks made it look more feminine. The logo needs to be manlier as this is the target audience for the t-shirts. 







Task 4

OLD

crit feedback 

Remove 'american made' as i don't need this on the logo, this will make the logo more minimal. however keep it on the clothes, poster and bags.

make the logo more manly its too feminine needs to be more aimed at the TA which is men.
i can do this by making it bolder and stronger, use capitals and maybe san serif typeface. I'm still going to make it by hand as i feel it works with the style of clothing. however if this change doesn't work i feel i may keep this design as its the one i like and i feel it works and isn't too girly. but i will try what my peers have said and compare them and see how it comes out. 

NEW

Remove ‘American made’ as this does not need to be a part of the logo, this makes the logo look unprofessional and busy and could take the costumers eye anyway from logo. However keep ‘American made’ on the posters, clothes and bags, as this is a selling point for the company.

The logo needs to be manlier as its too feminine. The reason why the work was feminine is because of the style of writing was script and the flicks made it look more feminine. The logo needs to be manlier as this is the target audience for the t-shirts. 

To make the logo manlier and to be aimed at men is to making the logo bolder, stronger, san serif, and capitals. This will make the logo more aimed at men than women; also a bold font type has been
