Wednesday 24th March

Wednesday we had a lesson starting at Bur Ashon with Sam Thomson. Then we made our way back to Wise for our lesson with Oli but he was out sick. However i used to time to research the harbour and get some images for reference for logo designs.

Tuesday 23rd March

Today's lesson we got split up into in to group i was working with Louise, Dan, Dave and Heshaam. We started brain storming on ideas for our boat company name. We looked on the Internet for inspiration and also at our photos and notes from the harbour visit. We came up with over 20 ideas then we had to get them down to 6. To do this we had to start thinking about the logo design to go with the name, so we got rid of the ones which wasn't well related to boats or harbour and was hard to think of some quick logo ideas. We finally decided on Harbour Link as our name, it's well related with the place and where it is also i think the way the boats drop off from place to place which comes across in the name Link.

Thursday 20th March

Wednesday 17th March

Today was the visit to Bristol harbour side, we'd been here once before on a trip but that was for a different project. The reason for going to the docks was to collect research and images too help us get started on our final project given to us yesterday. Oli started us off by giving us information about the three man boat companies on the harbour. we then collected any leaflets or took images of the boats and there signal. we then spoke to the driver of the Bristol Ferry boat company, and i took a photo of there jumper as there had there logo printed on it. we also found out Oli designed the logo for this company. then we took a walk down the harbour taking photos of boats and there ways of adverting like signs and broads. This trip helped me get ideas on what my logo needs to have. I found out there are three boat companies, Bristol ferry boat company, Bristol Packet and Number 7 boats. They all have there own signal and there boats are different colours. also with our logo they need to work on both sides of the boats. Now i need to go back and find out more about the harbour and the transport around it.

Tuesday 16th March

Today was our presentation for our last two weeks workshop i was very happy to show my work to the class. In the afternoon we got introduced to our final project, we have to come up with a name from a boat transport company and develop it into a corporate identity which needs to be applied to a A4 letterhead, business card, ferry liveries, signage and staff uniforms they are a must. We can also add it to any other advertisement ways we think will work. For next week we need to think of a few starting names for the company.

Wednesday 3rd March

Todays afternoon lesson with Oli was good, i looked at logo books to get some ideas for my designs. I photo copied the pages and put them into my resoure file so i can go back to them. i then choose two of the names i liked and created spider digram to record my ideas for the names. I then spoke to Oli and he said to choose which one i am going to design a logo for and start by drawing small ideas on paper. I am really enjoying this workshop i really like logo design so this is good for me.

Tuesday 2nd March

Today was the end of our two weeks task on the perfume boxes. We presentation them to the class i then got some feedback on them, like i need to think about pattern as well text. I found this feed back useful as i didn't really no if i had to add lots of colour or pattern. I then went away and completed more designs adding pattern, i also did some on the computer they were allot earlier to do as i could use references from the Internet. In the afternoon we got our third and final two week task to design a logo of one of the names on the sheet and it has to able to look good in colour and black and white. I really like the sound of this task. I now meed to do some research into logos and choose which name I'm going to do the logo for.

Wednesday 24th February

Today i had a group talk at bur Ashton with Sam Thomson. We talked about our research project. This made me a bit late to oli lesson in the afternoon where we continued with our logo and design work. I choose different typefaces for six perfume names and started created my designs. I research different images relating to the names of the perfumes to give me ideas for the box. I also looked at other perfumes boxes.
