Oh. Dubai. No.

I’m not even sure what they’re trying to say.

Wow. I’m not sure which is worse, a holocaust reference or the fact it’s framed as a motivational poster you’d see hanging on the wall in an 80’s office.

And so finally here’s the logo I chose with a working colour scheme of turquoise and grey I feel works well online, but may need refinement for print. Also to add a bit of cohesion to my Twitter profile, I’ve added a recoloured version of my Bubble Propelled Grenade Launcher illustration. I’ve got my PDF portfolio on the go currently in the same colour scheme and will be starting work on a completely retooled version of my CV in the future. Don’t touch that dial folks ;)

After wondering why the logo wasn’t working when I tried to thicken the line art to make it legible I quickly realised that the most important aspect of my logo was not the shape itself; being an open triangle it most obviously resembled the letter A, but the it was the negative space created by the inside of the triangle it to form the R that made it work. So I blocked off the outside of the logo and terminated the shape with a sharp angle and give it a form of asymmetry that I felt the logo needed. I experimented with different weights and the height of the inner triangle deciding which form most conveyed the intentions I had. Adding a secondary colour to the triangle broke up the shape too much in opinion, so I went back and set myself the final 4 logo types in the last image to choose from, so I chose the one on the right of that image.

So a few months back I was looking over my personal branding and decided I needed another crack at it, that’s my first attempt in baby blue up there. Here’s how I arrived at my latest effort.

Started a few months back when inspiration hit me in the gym of all places of a triangular combination of my initials, an A and an R, and I started scibbling on the back of my workout plan. My first efforts were a little visually confusing, so I kept simplifying the piece until I was left with as few flat edges to it as possible, the image closest to what was in my head is in the second picture circled near the bottom.

I went home and grabbed the graph paper, trying to work out angles while trying to remember any sort of maths I could from school (I have no idea how I made drawing a triangle such an ordeal), however while I had the basic shape down, taking from a simple lined piece into something more substantial was proving harder, so I headed into Illustrator to sort something out.

Back on the wagon

Hello Tumblr, very very quick update on what I’ve been up to lately, will be updating this blog over the coming hours/days/weeks and hopefully be providing something more interesting than this recap post. Anyway, had our final degree show in June, all went well, got a job by July working as an in-house designer at a solicitors, graduated late July, all very lovely, was made redundant last week, back on the hunt for work/placements again this week, going to be finishing off some personal projects and other super happy fun things. Ta ra for now!
