Society of Illustrators Visit

Image
    The purpose of the society of illustrators was to see old fashion painting/ drawings, this way we get creative. Each painting had a meaning or background.

You didn't have to explain things to her. She understood ." This made me think how much he liked her and just by looking at the painting it seems the couple are in love and enjoy being with each other.

I started with 15 different names for the brand and 25 logo roughs. It was in pencil which it was hard to see if it actually looked good. Five Electronic Roughs :       REFLECTION:  I wanted to have calm and chill colors for this brand. I picked a very light brown, baby blue, a purple mixed with pink, and a light violet. in the 1st one (belle), the font had no serifs and the stroke was white which made it look like if the next word was on top of the other. The "Delehia" is a thin Helvetica in a baby blue color. Also, in "After glow" (bottom left) I wanted the word "GLOW" be the main attraction, that's why I made it in a bigger font. two selects REFLECTION:  This were the 2 roughs that were selected. I believe that this 2 were the ones with more votes because it was simple and elegant at the same ...
