Final, Company Identity

 

First of all, I had problems with printing, but otherwise this project was a success. I felt really motivated and this project gave me a look for the future. I want to say that my idea of design is that in order to get a good visualization to the work, the feeling and settings are needed. I disagree with some of the "basics" of designing with different opinions about coloring and set ups. I might be wrong, however, I believe that I made a pretty good job with my project.

I am very comfortable with indesign because I had to do a pamflet for the officer school during my service in military. However, I had some issues with Indesign. It turned out to be a huge factor towards my project. I had problems with saving my work and some of my "hard work" was deleted along the pieces I tried to create. Nevertheless, helping hand was really close and all thanks to prof. Corrigan who helped me out with the problem and the loss wasn't huge.

Here are my samples. Sampling and "brainstorming" is not necessarily for me, because I have the basic idea in my head and I know how I am going to do everything. on the other hand, I need to get progress with this area because possible client may want other pieces also. Nonetheless, I did some samples and they are more how to produce, not what going to be in my work.

After this text the post will continue with my first drafts. There are samples of my business card and letter head, I found it fascionating in creating my business card because I could use my imagination a lot. I tried to break a "design code" a little bit by trying different colors with different pieces and do something different.

 

Here are the Final prints. I think that they worked out pretty nicely. I changed the cover letter almost completely because I felt that it didn't belong to the identity. In the time when I got my prints out, I found few mistakes immediately. well no work is perfect, however, my mistakes are little bit sloppy. I think that my prints don't give credit for my pieces, except the business card was really nice. I believe that the evaluation class before the actual hand out of the final print's was necessary and helpful. I got lot of good tips from both my professor and peer classmates and I did many changes somewhat small, but important like for example taking of outside linings and adding some social media icons to make my work look more like my company's basic idea. 

All in all I think that the project gave me a lot of experience. If one would give me access to adobe softwares I could work with them and actually profit from my work. I didn't have a lot of time with this project, but I think I didn't something beyond what was asked.
