WHAT IS LOGO DESIGN?

A recognizable graphic design element, often including a name, symbol or trademark, representing an organization or product . Before you start thinking about designing a business card or picking colors for your letterhead, you need a logo.

WHAT IS MY PROCESS?

CONSULTATIONS & SKETCHING:

The way I start designing a brand is by taking client recommendationsand ideas, and then put those concepts to the sketch pad.

DIGITAL ENHANCING & EDITING:

After sketching out some Ideas, the next step I take is to put them onto the computer. Once on a computer screen, the preliminary designs are able to be modified into a precise vector that includes the addition of typography and color schemes.

ADDITIONAL LOGO DESIGNSStarting with hand sketches and client suggestions, I take careful consideration into branding and design. Logos are the face of a company and their ultimate source of brand awareness. That being said, I take the time to ensure that creativity, simplicity, and cohesion are incorporated into each of my concepts. Above is a collection of my recent client preliminary brands and logo designs.

WHAT IS STATIONERY?

Ranging from business cards to envelopes, stationery products are tangible branding elements that a company uses to inform or market to their consumers. Stationery elements include letterheads, invoices, flyers, envelopes, and business cards.

CREATING TANGIBLE ELEMENTS:

STATIONERY DEVELOPMENT:

I start designing stationery by looking at the company’s identity and try to figure out how to implement a creative style to ensure the business’s product or service is portrayed in the element’s design.

Big factors that need consideration are the shape, size, and functionality of the stationery in question. For example, if I were to change the shape of a business card to represent a quality of the company’s product / service, I need to ensure that the card is still able to fit inside a wallet, or else it will be considered an inconvenient design.

INCORPORATING RECOGNITION & INTERACTIVITY:

Taking all of those design regulations to heart, I have a passion for creating stationery elements that contain a sense of interactivity. I strive to make sure that all of my designs stand out to their consumers in a way that keeps them engaged, and promote brand recognition in their minds.

The following stationery designs were made for my employees, clientele or personal ideas that I have worked on / with throughout the years.

ADDITIONAL STATIONERYThe utilization of photography and iconography makes these maling forms of stationery stand out from their competitors while staying cohesive with the rest of their companys’ brands. Cohesion can make or break a brand’s awareness and recognition, which is why I strive to maintain proper balance in each job I take on with clients and my own personal design projects..

ABOUT ONLINE ADVERTISING:

Also called online marketing or Internet advertising, It is a form of marketing and advertising which uses the Internet to deliver promotional marketing messages to consumers.

THE DIGITAL MARKETING PROCESS:

1. TARGETING AN AUDIENCE:

Starting with an objective, I take the time to determine which demographics my advertisements should be marketed towards. From corporate executives to middle school students, advertisements will always appeal to a certain audience. Keeping a specific target market in mind, I choose color schemes, imagery, and typography that would likely entice members of said demographic to click on my ad.

2. FINDING THE RIGHT PLATFORM:

After I create a design, the next step I take is to determine which media platform would be the most successful to market the advertisement.

For example, when I designed this promotion (on right) I realized that thisad would be the most successful if it was marketed on a social media site. Then through personal research, I determined Facebook would be the best platform to market this promo since the social media site offers the ability to target specific consumers based on their age range, locations, and personal preferences.

3. THE ADVERTISEMENT RESULTS:

Once the advertisement was posted online to the desired target audience, the promotion recieved a large amount of interest and post engagementfrom the consumers that I wanted to market toward.

I designed southislandsolar.com to implement these functions and ensure that the company looked good at the same time. The website is both informational and E-Commerce based offering local residents and business owners the ability to go solar.

ABOUT PACKAGE DESIGN:

The discipline of package design focuses on producing a container that will get noticed. By skillfully teaming colorful graphics, a unique shape, or any other eye-arresting method, the package designer is a key player in any company's marketing effort. No matter how beneficial the product inside the container may be, unless a consumer decides to pick it up, that product will never get tested.

THE PACKAGING DESIGN PROCESS:

1. CREATING A CONCEPT:

When designing a product’s packaging, I always pose the question, “how can this product stand out from the competition”. Along with standing out, I like to ensure a sense of cohesion with the company’s brand and the packaging itself.

For example, when I designed the packaging of Tongue Ties Unique Neckware and Alcool Koozies, I made sure the packaging would be interactive, eye-catching, and convey a representation of the company brands. The packaging for Tongue Ties utilizes the product itself (the tie)to create complete the company logo, while the packaging for Alcool Koozies is designed to represent a futuristic refrigerator (including both a refrigerator and freezer compartment).

3. BRINGING THE CONCEPT TO LIFE:

The process I take to design product packaging is to sketch out a dieline to actual scale, scan the dieline onto the computer, then print and fold the dieline until it creates a proportionally accurate model. Once the modelis developed, it provides a proper visual for the client to reference.

PACKAGE LAYOUTS & DESIGNThe following packaging designs (above) were developed for idependent concept companies that I came up with during my senior year of college. The packaging was created with quality and durable card stock, electrical tape and magnets. Although these containers are simply models, they are all measured to scale, and have the capabilities of being mass-manufactured.
