IDEAS AND FINAL PRODUCTION

The screen shots below show different stages of Carrie editing the logo. Directly below is the finished logo. As you look down at the start you can see the different stages in production. 

This was a final product but we played around with what side the brush should go, we asked our client what she thought and a few random people and they said the other side so we swaped sides.

In this screen shot, the Paint brush is actually not ours, by this i mean we didnt make it our selves. So obviously we couldnt use it so Carrie had to make our own paint brush.

Here you can see, Carrie has created a paintbrush herself and underneath you can see she has added for more detail. In the final production you can see how it looks.

 

RESPONSE TO BRIEF

Pre-Production Phase
In this stage we started to prepare our work by this we researched in to different colour schemes, different logos within the same genre, that being coaching company, also we could of done a market serve but we didnt.

Production Phase
Here is where we created 3 different ideas to present to our client and took these on board and started to make the final product. We went on to the finish the final product after little adjustments made such as colouring and text size.


We didnt really face and difficulties, as Carrie already knew how to use the software and i was quite confident with researching and liasing with the client, the client was very reliable within we could always contact her and she was very clear about adjustments and things we wanted added to the final production.

Any changes to brief of plan
there we no changes we stuck to our orignial idea throughout the whole production.
How you dealt with any difficulties

RESOURCES AVAILABLE

We only had a few resources which are
Photoshop: we mainly used this resource as Carrie said it is easier to use.
Illustrator: Carrie used this to create ideas but said she struggled as she wasent use to the layout and was much more comfertable with using Photoshop.

TEAM MEMEBERS INVOLVED

Carrie: Her role is to design different ideas for the client, and when the client wants thing changed of added i pass on the information and tell her to do so.

Ele: That is me, i liase with the client regulary and see what she thinks of the ideas and if she wanted anything changed, also i conduct research on logos in the same "genre" so to speak as ours.

TIME SCALE AND MEETING WITH CLIENT

Timescale
We have 4 weeks to complete are final product.
The first week will be spent leasing with the client, going through the specificities of the brief with her, and seeing what is crucial to be included in the product.
By the end of the first week we want to be able to have a plan of what kind of ideas we are going to experiment with.
During the second the week we will create 3 different detailed ideas ready to show the client by the end of the week.
At the end of the week we will meet with the client to show our three different ideas, we will see what idea she likes and if she wants more things added, as in colours, shapes, words and so on or even if she wants us to take certain things away from one of the ideas.
The third week will consist of finishing the final product the client has chosen making sure it is exactly what she wants.
The last week of production will be to show the client one more time and if she likes it that will be the final production. By the end of the week the product will be completed and presented to the client we will collect feedback comments from the client too see what we could improve next time.
Meeting with the client
We first met with our client at the start of production to go through the brief to see what was most important to be included. She told us how shapes and colours were important and how she does not want it to be perceived as a arts and crafts business as it is called “The Paint Box”.

The second time we met was to show her some ideas we had come up, we came up with 3 ideas and presented them to the client. She liked all the ideas for different things they had. So she asked if we could combine different aspects from each one.

The third time we met was to show her final design, she was happy with the design and wanted to use it.


 Availability of each member and client
Me and Carrie have told our client we are available when ever she wants to discuss anything to do with the logo as we want the best possible outcome, our client said she is available every evening from 5pm onwards and all day on Saturday and Sunday.
