Brief

I've decided to bring together a brief consisting of a collection of identity/logo designs that I've been working on this year. Rather than doing them as separate briefs it makes sense to bring them together.

They are four logo designs I've been and will be working on, three for music and one for fashion:

Oscar Wild - a music producer looking for a logo and an online presence.

Cirque Du Soul - identity for an upcoming house/funk night.

Option One - a new house night looking to set up after parties in order to get their name & logo recognized.

Fashion Show & Exhibition - looking for an identity / logo

flocking

Flocking is the process of depositing small fibres (flock) that when heated raise to create a surface texture with the prints. It will be applied to the terrestrial planets to accentuate the solidity in comparison to the gaseous planets. We found the technique created a really interesting surface on the stock. We'll definitely have to practice this print process in order to perfect the consistency of the flock as some areas came out quite patchy. We found it was more effective/contrasting on the black stock. 

The areas that were interesting were actually on the misprints where the paint created shapes that one might find on the surface of a terrestrial planet. Like the screen that was used for the metallic screen prints, the screen wasn't properly exposed due to the printer so this definitely would have effected the quality of the flocking print.

Oli & I did a few screen print experiments with paint & stock. We exposed two circles onto a paper screen, one being a block coloured circle and the other half tone image of our moon. The only problem was that the black didn't print dark enough from the studio printers so the screen had a grainy texture to it. Seeing as it's just a tester it's fine, as the grain actually looked quite nice, but for the final prints we'll have to print block black circles downstairs in the digital printers.

We were thinking of using metalic paint for the moons due to the components of which they're made up of. The half tone image was applied in order to display each unique surface of the moons in our solar system. Fluorescent paint was also used which we think will be potentially applied with the suns to dramatise the luminosity.

We're currently looking into ordering some heat sensitive paint as some suns are supposedly so cold you could actually touch them, so this would add a really nice edge to the prints. For the moons we've been looking into getting some light reflective paint or some glow in the dark paint as it's contextual to the moons, and again, it would add another dimension to the prints.

The metallic copper paint was really nice to work with and we're keen to do some more prints experimenting with gold pearl, silver, bronze etc.
