Design Progress

After the feedback from Ms.Lilian, I decided to try out different colour options to give more variation to the design. Besides, I had been using too many reverse logo, I need to try maintaining the original version instead. For stationaries, I started designing the name card first as it is the main thing we usually see. out vertical and horizontal name cards. I also added some patterns to the background to make it look more interesting. the pattern is actually the logotype with light pink.

To match the brand's image and the artstyle, I decided to use a curved corner instead of a rectangular name card.

For envelope, first one on the right is my first draft. After receiving feedbacks, I improvise it (design on left) by making the front pattern continue to the back instead of introducing new pattern that distracting.

Then I continue to design the letterhead and continuous sheet. The use of new curvy pattern and the straight line does not reflect the brand pattern. Therefore, I decided to use the shape of the mascot's fringes instead.

Maintaining the style from namwcard, I reverse the colour into loyalty card.

Pins: Ms Lilian suggested me to introduce pattern instead of having the logo only. However, I decided to submit the logo only because I find the pattern that I made doesn't really fit the brand style.

FEEDBACK:
Week 9
Task 2 Good job, but gif can be slightly improved. The animation is predictable, and resolution quality can be improved. 

Week 10
The applications, and patterns are okay. Keep using reverse version, needs to create variation (in terms of colour). L
etterhead: Colour, placement of text, the fluid pattern might want to use the fringe. Envelope colour pink can be lighter, and the logo size can be smaller. Can add contact info.

Week 10 
Name card & Loyalty card are okay. The continuous sheet (use the original logo version and reverse the wave pattern). Envelope, make the pattern continuos to back. Landing page: logo put a beige top bar so that its visible for the mascot.


REFLECTIONS:

Experience
At the beginning of the exercise, I struggled to write the brand positioning in detail. Looking back at the brand mind map helped a lot to branch out the idea. It was a little stressful when many deadlines came together, and I found my progress was slower than others in Week 9. Thank god, Ms Lilian extended slightly of the deadline, so I tried my best to pick up all the things I'm missing and show them during the last consultation before submission. It was fantastic to see the brand slowly establish itself after weeks, especially the visual identity.

Observation
It is crucial to maintain the original purpose and goals of the brand when it started. Having a mood board and clear art direction makes everything more accessible, so the brand looks consistent and professional. Besides, I realised sometimes I lose my focus because there are too many ongoing projects and deadlines. I would have better emotional control to deal with stress and time management to allocate the same amount of time for each task.

Findings
Searching for a nice mock-up that suits the brand takes me a lot of time. Some PSD mock-ups will help to ensure the mock looks more realistic with the presets. I decided to explore the lighting, shadow, or applying texture for some items that I could not find a template for. It was challenging at times, but I'm glad I got to try it.
