busy busy friday

so today i have worked on a littttle bit of everything [which is superfab of course] first was some st.gallen stuff, then aachen, then some more st.gallen, and now i am moving back onto the logos i started playing with yesterday. logo exploration [or any exploring in general] is the bomb. it really let's you discover new things as a designer. this sgad logo needs to portray the right message to the viewer, as does the text that accompanies it, so i was checking out the emotions that are associated with different fonts and discovered fontscape. not a super professional resource, but still very interesting and helpful! i checked out 'dependable', 'passionate', and 'dynamic' for ideas for the sgad logo font. the designs are very still work-in-progress, but jen, chris and i are sure to come up with something pretty awesome!

week seven...

talk about a busy day. icon was bumping from morning to night! between aachen and a few st. gallen corrections, it's a good thing the new designer chris got here to take over the sigma trifold i had been working on! aachen [allllll those earlier posts!] conducts aluminum seminars/courses [okay i'm not 100% sure because it is all in german!] that we began to design the little bochure/flier that will be passed out to inform potential students on the happenings...

these are the two options that went out to the client this evening.. looking forward to getting their feedback and seeing what parts the liked and what parts they want to change. the major difference in the two designs is the schedule that is the program. it has come a long way from how it was originally set up, but i think with maybe a few more minds to look at it and comment it can become even better!

more aachen.. just for fun

 just some more aachen compositions.. loving all the blue [after all, blue is my favorite color!] but enjoy.. the top are some quick brochure covers/backs/banners, and the bottom are the banner choices for the icon site!

aaaaaaaaaach aachen!!!!

so jen and i have been working hard on some aachen university! yesterday we both presented a million comps to lori and jon and morgan [our new work friend!] and then we picked and swapped around elements and jen and i each developed one comp a piece. they were very similar, but not exactly the same...
[check out my designs below]

after we looked at our two designs we decided it would be best to take her headings [they contained the important information about the courses such as date, location and price] and combine them with my boxy design at the bottom of the page [the box comes from the cover that aachen chose at the original presentation]

there is of course much more work to be done, and many changes will surely be made, but it is a good start to what will become a great series of brochures and educational literature! i hope aachen enjoys our work so we can keep moving everything along! next stop... logoooooos
