Cupcake Confectionary: Designs so far
This is the main logo for Cupcake Confectionary, talking with Suze about colour scheme we agreed a pink colour would be the main colour seen in the products and the other colours would be pale blues, purples and yellows.
It was interesting doing this cause i'm not much of a colour person.

Typeface
option 1. was a typeface i created from various other typefaces like lord of the rings, D&D runes etc. it was basically a title font for a fantasy setting. i didbn't choose this one because it was too fancy and could not be used for body type.
option 2. was a more simple script typeface, which can be used for title and body type. i didn't choose this one because i though it was too simple and i had no idea how i can use it in poster design etc.

7890c Compositing in Photoshop #5
Don't throw rocks in a glass house, when i heard this i didn't think much of it and, then i thought of a glass house and that its all made of glass, walls and the roof, when i thought of the glass roof/ceiling i remembered the famous quote during the woman's rights protest, 'break through that glass ceiling' and when i thought about it some more i viewed the 'don't throw rocks in a glass house' through he eyes of a high business men of the 1960's and see how they viewed themselves. an this image is what i regurgitated.

Your mind is like a bad neighbourhood, don't go their alone. This is true, i had a friend once that had nightmares every night for several months, and they just got worse and he became chronic depressed and a little paranoid and when i asked him if he needed help, he just said he was fine, so i told him 'never do things alone'. so this composite has a personal feel to me because i know what the mind can do to the body.

5371a: Design Elements & Principles; Rationale pt2
This is the GPS, Sight-v1 which has now been made digitally, various things have been modified and some are still the same, what has changed are a few things like, the imagery. on the sides and back and the top of the box. the images have been change because due to not finding the right image for the purpose, I compromised. Things that have stayed the same are the colour scheme, mostly black and white, with minimal colour; gimmicks and logo have stayed the same, as well as the information. A serial number has been added under the barcode because it is a widely seen thing on most GPS boxes.
AThe advert has been greatly changed for the same difficulties in finding the right images. Using other stock that I had on hand I used that instead and added a the line “the catwalk was the other way” because the image depicts a model posing for the camera in a street, she looks more for the catwalk so I added the line to give a humorous feel to it and still relate to the idea “..never loose sight of your destination..”

5371a: Design Elements & Principles; Rationale
5371a: Design Elements & Principles; Rationale
The product is a GPS, i named the GPS the Sight-v1 which is aimed to relate to the company's phrase/slogan "Don't loose sight of your objective". The logo of the Sight-v1 is of a small flag surrounded by brackets, these flags are common in certain maps, mainly military as waypoints, waypoint is also the name of the company. The graphics such as the face and the landscape on the back would be actual photography. The colour scheme of the box would be mainly black with a little colour to bring it out more. The box itself i hand designed basing it off other boxes i have seen, the measurements were designed to be compact and space saving. The product itself was to be aimed at middle class income earners, to high income earners. The information on the Box is very similar to the the information found on other GPS products, the information was placed on the sides and back, so it does not clutter up the space of the box, i provided information on the product itself, as well as accessories, and gimmicks (1 year warranty, 12 months of free updates)
The A4 advert is to be a photo of a woman "power-walking" to her destination, and the GPS in her purse was to give reassurance that she/you would not loose your way in the city with its towering buildings. the phrase is again a reassurance, and the little quote is the slogan of the company was to represent a famous quote that you would sometimes see in books or magazines, and to add character.

ForeverFlorist BC's
Here are the business cards for Forever Florist, I went with the style of an older one I did but changed the logo a little, and added more colour, the colour adds character. the 1st one is the basic/neat one, with a crisp white background with minimal colour to contrast with the white. The 2nd one is the funky one, I gave it a background colour and added some design work to it to give it more of a fun feel, I only changed the font for the clerks name, I still looks professional but casual at the same time.

You guys should check out these guys over at passion-pictures, they are awesome at what they do.
Logo
Well I had a look for logo's I liked and I could not find much but I did find one I did like and have known about for awhile. The logo to my left this logo belongs to Roadrunner United they are a music company that sponsor bands like Opeth, Ill Nino, Slipknot, Cradle of Filth, and Nickel Back.
I like this logo because its has a very, unique look, going on a family crest style but having very mush to do with the metal/hard rock genre.
Also it just looks so damn cool!!
