Online Instagram Portfolio



I decided to create my own Studio base allowing me to express my work to others and to get possible recognition. I also follow other creative studios getting visual advice on creating my own freelance space. 




Studio Brief 2 - Self Branding Research

Self Branding Research
Aesop
Logo Designer 

Andy Murray has gotten a branding agency to design him a logo, which reveals his initials and 77th year record of how long its taken for British man to win the Wimbledon tournament.

His new Logo design will be used on his On - Court Bag and training t shirts before applied to a range of clothing & merchandise.

Creating a modern looking design to capture Andy’s Energy & spirit when on court.







Using your Initials within your brand is quite a common design feature,
Weather its upside down or resembled differently, but because its your own logo
theres no limitations to how legible, illegible it is. with recognition will it grow and
have a much clever meaning behind the logo.
I tend to use shapes within most my designs so this captured my attention giving me
fewer idea designs.




I think texture is very important when coming to a business card only because its purpose is to
sell yourself to the potential client, so it has to have that attractive spark about it.
The card holds your Logo/Brand & contact or firm information.
First impression is important so make sure yours is unique,  for example this
business card has been embossed and been printed on some form of water colour paper.  
I think this self branding logo is quite simple but still very effective,
from simply lowering the descenders line of the P & making the ascenders line of the H higher
from the X-height.
I would consider using something like this as a header on some form of social
media/Introduction. 

Simply cutting down your initials to form a logo such as this
has allowed me to become a lot more motivated in creating my own initial logo design,
i think it will be interesting to see what my initials will look like after manipulating it.




Studio Brief 2 - Self Branding Logo experiments

Here are a few logo designs i have come up with so far, I've tried to create my initials 'PD' by just looking like I've used only the 'P'. If you can notice in the first row i've deleted a section of the D allowing the Stem of the P to integrate with the flow. Because of my initials it can be represented as my full name & Pete's Designs
