Self-Branding time!

As all graphic designers do alike...we all someday have to present ourself in form of self-branding to promote our speciality or skills in doing multimedia or design (duh) related work. This is for our portfolio or resumes as we say, own company. Plus it helps client to evaluate how awesome we are (or not).

For me my own company logo serves as my own trademark, identity and telling others that you are a graphic designer and you are ready to do the task given by others on works you're have expertise on.

For this I have come out with few designs. Without further ado...

Ideas for Logo..

I've managed to pop out 4 of these babies for her to choose. I personally like the 3rd and the 4th logo design. Luckily, out of these she actually liked those that I've liked...so she ask me to improve on either one. 

Made up my mind, I decided to choose the 4th one because it looks more funky to me yet not cliche with too many words boggling around...and she ask me to do few templates of em in different colour so she can choose which one that looks nice and presentable.

Walaaaaah! Should be nice to make stickers out of it...

Bam! Sticker bomb anyone? Hahaha. I honestly like ALL of these and I'm planning to make a sticker! See if my budget permits...

So far, so good! Till then...

Posters...again!

Last week, Ms. Queenie asked me and three other friends of mine in class to design the final poster for our upcoming Vertex exhibition. Yes all of us have designed the poster as seen in the last post but this one she specifically ask 4 of us to design another one.

 Honestly saying, my brain wasn't churning out ideas that much but I hope it will be chosen. *prays*

The reason why its a little hard to design is due to the weirdly shaped V logo (Vertex, mind you) is not entirely design-friendly enough for me. Maybe because of its "corporate" looking style. I don't know. But well...here goes.

Design 5

 Design 5 was designed with simplicity in mind. Played with colours and contrast on the boxes. Wanted to make it as straightforward as it can be without being too fancy and too fussy on the wording.

Design 6

Design 6...hahaha. I got the idea after doing some research on design. Since not many are doing these types of design I decided to come out with this one. Straightforward...but trying to be creative by using the road signage. This is probably the weirdest looking one of all designs but hey...its not wrong to think outside the box. 

Till then...

Poster-ific post...

Sup peeps. As the title mentioned, our team have to come out with a poster for our exhibition. Lately I'm lacking ideas on how to do it but I guess I managed to pull it off. Still recovering from last month's Kancil Award thing that we have to do.  But there's not much time left, so I have to rush a few things by now!

Caiyok!

Kancil Award

I'm sure most of you designers or media students have heard of Kancil Awards before. It's a yearly event held , to attest to the pride in recognizing home-grown Malaysian creative excellence in advertising, and to further underscore the industry's endorsement of the highest standards of creativity.

Some info for you. Kancil Awards are known as the most largest and most prestigious advertising awards competition, and you can see top advertising company like Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi are battling out their stakes to get the win.

They have a category called Kancil Student Awards. I won't go much blabbering about this, read it up HERE to understand what we have to do.

So for the rest of September, me and my groupmate Azmi and Aaron have to take up a task on how to help older people or parents to use smartphone. After much discussion from higher college authority and certain critics, we decided to do ambience advertising. 

We managed to come out with few designs. Without further ado, here goes:

Magazine Ambience

Magazine Ambience

Mail Ambience

Traffic Jam Ambience

Lift Ambience

I'm very proud of what me and my group has achieved to do this. Hopefully we get to win something, though honestly we are not hoping for anything. The most beneficial thing we gained from this is experience.

Thanks to lecturer and others for the kind help.
