Sunita

In the past week I have made touch ups and modifications to my images. They have been put into appropriate format and have been handed over to Damien to print on the beast printer with semi gloss paper. Also I have researched framing companies that I can call to get quotes on having the prints applied to MDF and framed.

Josie

My progress hasn’t moved so much as my design is final therefore all I have been doing is scrounging up materials for my 3D components and refining my logo lettering. I cant complete my logo as I want the materials I use for the 3D aspect to look the same as my 2D logo. Once I complete the 3D component then I shall finish the logo.

Warwick

Once upon a time there was a boy who saved all his work and then one day a File Pirate came along and stole his Ai file. A i Captain!

On a serious note I did lost my Ai file for my MB Logo for 2D Design but I re-created it and added a couple of different types of grass. One using typical grass modified from google images and the second one was with Josie helping me to create a custom grass brush tool in photshop then dropped it into my new Ai file logo. It still looks a bit busy so I may have to simplify it to a few blades of grass so it can print. Lucky the Pirate didn’t find the treasure which was on my Gold USB stick! ARRRR!!

PRACTICAL – Design Realisation

My progression

I have done a 360 on my design unfortunately. But its not too late! and I believe this idea will be more effective. I have chosen to go with illustrations of cartoon chickens. I believe it is effective because people are attracted to individuality for example the Beany Kids and the new coke bottle labels. Everyone seems to go crazy over things that are individualized and they can relate to personally. I think I am on the right track now and will enjoy doing this a lot more. In terms of progress I have made a backward step but I am progressing rapidly in the new idea because I enjoy doing it! :)

Here is an example of the craze of these individual coke bottles. They are shared all over Facebook, some with two names together. Even people posing with them.

Here is a picture of the Beany kids that people often buy for gifts. For example best mum, etc. Some people craze about it and collect them like in the image below.

I find it quite interesting how people obsess over these things and believe it would be a good market to get into :)
