The End

All good things come to an end. I will no longer be updating the Studio Blog. Keep an eye on angoulvant.net and my journal for the latest. I will keep this site up as long as I can, but will remain only a reference.

I couldn’t leave you without fun work from Art Center. First, a video demonstration of Dexter, and second a link to Brand New Classroom, where my graphic design project for the Langham Hotel was posted (and rather well received, if I can say so myself!)

ID Graphics

ID Graphics was a great course I took last semester dealing with graphic design, an all-important skill for product designers to communicate their work.

The course started with an exercise in designing our personal stationery including business cards, resume, envelopes and portfolio pages. I will be rolling out the results here and on my portfolio over the next few months!

Our second exercise was closely tied to our Product Design 2 course in which we created a fictional brand for our product. I chose the name Dexter as the brand of my auto mechanic’s creeper. My goal was to create a logo that communicated reliability and mobility.

I based my design on the beautiful typeface Klavika by Process Type. Over many iterations I came up with the following logo:

The final color schemed hinted at the traditional automotive primary blues and reds. In this case the palette is shifted a bit off kilter to give it a modern look.

Our final project was to create a piece of branding for our product. I chose to create a sticker used for retail.
