Graphics.ms Creative Process for Brand Development & Identity Design

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:56:16 +0000

In this video, I’ve created a very simple narrative describing the process that I typically go through when creating a new logo design or identity system for a company. I’ve seen a lot of other websites out there that don’t necessarily pay attention to the essential elements that contribute to a successful brand. Sites like these typically allow you (the company) to put your project in the hands of 100′s of designers, with the hopes that one of them will get it “just right”. These types of sites are ideal for companies with very low budgets… however the saying “You Get What You Pay For” is very much a reality in this situation.

For samples of the work I’ve done, visit http://graphics.ms or http://graphics.ms/portfolio/identity

How to Design a logo – Time Lapse Logo Design (Sketching/Adobe Illustrator)

I filmed myself from start to finish, the process of designing a logo and time lapsed the whole thing for your viewing pleasure!

The Logo:

The brief required me to design a logo for “Saniware” a company which specializes in sanitary wares and bathroom toilet fixtures.

It was essential for the logo to have a distinct logo mark. This mark must be modern, fresh, uncomplicated, bold, positive, and best of all elegant. It also must express modernism, design, high quality and eco-friendliness.

I hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
Mason Roberts
