Ready to present your fashion logo?

The last time I shortly mentioned all the important things that have to be included into a brand identity. In this blog post I will start to get a bit deeper to all of the important factors.

 It is important to write about the back story of a fashion brand for its brand identity, since this can create a compelling narrative that resonates with the target audience and effectively communicates the essence and values of the brand.  Successful companies are very good storytellers. The purpose of brand storytelling is to build an emotional connection between a brand and its target audience by creating a series of plot points. 

We can start by sharing the inspiration behind the brand. It is relevant to discuss the founder’s vision, the story of how the brand came into existence, and any significant influences or experiences that shaped its creation. This can help establish a personal connection with the audience and showcase the unique perspective of the brand. We have to clearly express the core values and mission of the fashion brand. Explaining the purpose and beliefs that drive the brand’s decisions and actions. This can include commitments to sustainability, inclusivity, craftsmanship, or any other principles that differentiate your brand and align with your target audience’s values. Another relevant stage is to describe the design philosophy of the brand. Discussing the aesthetics, styles, and artistic inspirations that define the collections. Sharing insights into the creative process and how we can translate the brand’s values and vision into unique and desirable fashion pieces.

If the fashion brand has a rich heritage or incorporates traditional craftsmanship or techniques, we should highlight these aspects. Discussing the historical significance or cultural influences that contribute to the brand’s identity. Emphasizing how the honour and reinterpret tradition in a modern context.

Very important is also to develop a distinct brand personality and voice that reflects the brand’s identity. Consider the tone, language, and style of writing that best represents the brand’s character. Whether it’s playful, sophisticated, rebellious, or any other attribute, ensure consistency in expressing this personality across your brand communications. We must craft a compelling and engaging narrative. Using storytelling techniques to create an emotional connection with the audience. Sharing anecdotes, milestones, or pivotal moments that have shaped the brand’s journey and illustrate its unique character. Some elements that can be used are: empathy, attention-grabbing, authentic, relatable, consistency, aligning with business goals and provoking actions. Clearly articulating what sets the fashion brand apart from others in the market. Highlighting the distinctive features, innovations, or experiences that make your brand stand out. This could be a unique design approach, sustainable practices, ethical sourcing, or any other factor that makes the brand unique and different from others.

MOODBOARD

Creating a moodboard for a fashion brand identity is essential to visually convey the brand’s desired aesthetic, atmosphere, and emotions. Serving as a powerful communication tool, the moodboard aligns stakeholders on the brand’s identity and guides its creative direction. By showcasing inspirations from fashion trends, art, culture, and nature, the moodboard informs the overall mood and aesthetic, establishing a foundation for design decisions and creative exploration.

Colors and color palette selection play a vital role in the moodboard, as they evoke specific emotions and contribute to a consistent visual identity. Considering factors like seasonality, brand personality, and target audience preferences, the moodboard carefully selects colors that convey the desired associations, resulting in a memorable and harmonious visual identity.

Textures and materials depicted in the moodboard contribute to the desired look and feel of the brand. Through the curation of fabrics, patterns, finishes, and tactile elements, the moodboard effectively communicates the sensory experience the brand aims to create. By exploring a range of textures, from soft and luxurious to bold and edgy, the moodboard guides the selection of materials that align with the brand’s identity.

The visual style and imagery presented in the moodboard define the creative direction of the brand. Elements such as composition, lighting, perspectives, and overall aesthetic are carefully considered. Examples of photography, illustrations, and other visual elements captured in the moodboard serve as a visual compass, guiding the brand’s creative team in developing assets that align with the brand’s identity and narrative.

Furthermore, the moodboard delves into key themes and concepts that are integral to the brand’s identity. Whether drawing inspiration from culture, nature, history, or emotions, these themes are reflected in the visual elements, shaping the brand’s narrative and strengthening its connection with the target audience.

Coherence and consistency are paramount in the moodboard. It acts as a guiding principle, ensuring that the visual elements harmoniously come together to create a unified brand experience. By aligning the moodboard with other brand assets like the logo, typography, and overall design direction, the brand identity remains consistent across all touchpoints.

In conclusion, the moodboard serves as a powerful tool in shaping the visual identity of a fashion brand. By capturing the desired aesthetic, atmosphere, and emotions, it provides inspiration and guidance to the creative team, resulting in a compelling and coherent brand identity that resonates with the target audience. The moodboard’s incorporation of inspirations, colors, textures, visual style, and key themes sets the stage for a captivating brand identity.

LOGOS

When presenting a logo and its variations there a lot some important things to consider.

The best is to start with explanation from the back story and mouldboard to explain the concept, meaning, and inspiration behind the logo. We have to highlight its unique features and how they align with the brand’s identity and values. This provides context and helps stakeholders understand the logo’s purpose. When showing the variations of the logo we have o ensure to maintain visual consistency in terms of colors, typography, and overall design elements.

It is always good to present different variations of the logo for various use cases. For example, how the logo works in different sizes, orientations (horizontal and vertical), and backgrounds (light and dark). 

COLOR

The chosen colors should align with the brand’s identity, values, and personality. Considering how the brand wants to be perceived—is it bold and energetic, sophisticated and elegant, or playful and vibrant. The colors should reflect these qualities and evoke the desired emotional response from the audience. Understanding the target audience is crucial in color selection. Different colors can have different cultural or psychological associations, and they may elicit different responses from various demographic groups. Considering the preferences, cultural background, and psychological impact of colors on the intended audience to ensure relevance and resonance. The chosen colors should help the brand stand out and differentiate itself from competitors. A logo that stands out visually can capture attention and leave a memorable impression. Also important to consider is that colors have inherent symbolism and meanings associated with them. For example, red may symbolize passion or energy, while blue may convey trust or reliability. Important is also how the colors may look like on a cloth in case they will be sewn on the clothes. 

A logo is a long-term investment for a brand, so it’s important to choose colors that will remain relevant and timeless over time. Avoid overly trendy color schemes that may quickly become dated.

BRAND PATTERN AND ELEMENTS

 If there are some they have to be showcased. All the shapes have to be explained why they have been specifically designed. 

SOCIAL MEDIA FEED

A social media feed example allows stakeholders to see how the logo and brand identity will appear in a real-world setting. It provides a practical and relatable context, showcasing how the logo will be integrated into various content formats, such as posts, stories, or profile pictures. This helps stakeholders envision the logo’s visual impact and how it aligns with the

with the overall brand aesthetic within the digital space. Social media platforms play a significant role in brand communication, and maintaining visual consistency across different touchpoints is crucial. Including a social media feed example demonstrates how the logo and brand identity elements are applied consistently across posts, ensuring a cohesive and recognizable brand presence. It showcases how colors, typography, imagery, and other visual elements work together to create a unified brand experience.

MOCKUPS

Mockups allow stakeholders to see how the logo or brand identity will look when applied to different mediums, such as apparel, packaging, stationery, clothes, or digital platforms. They provide a realistic and tangible representation of the design, enabling stakeholders to visualize its application and assess its visual impact in a practical context. Mockups help understand how the logo or brand identity integrates with other elements and complements the overall brand experience. By placing the design in relevant settings, such as clothing tags, shopping bags, or social media profiles, mockups provide a visual context that allows stakeholders to evaluate the design’s effectiveness in conveying the brand’s identity and messaging.Design Assessment: Mockups facilitate a thorough evaluation of the logo or brand identity. Stakeholders can assess factors such as color harmony, typography legibility, scalability, and overall aesthetic appeal. Mockups also allow for feedback and iteration, as stakeholders can provide specific comments on how the design interacts with different materials, surfaces, or digital environments, helping to refine and improve the final result.

Experiment #3: French Link Stitch Notebook

For my third experiment I tried a very commonly used bookbinding method: the French link stitch. I had my first encounter with this technique during my first experiment, but this time I put it in the focus by using a bold blue yarn, which really pops when put against the grey cardboard.

For this notebook I decided to use 14 signatures, each made up of 4 sheets of paper, which were folded in half. I then decided on the number and spacing of the holes and marked them on a piece of cardboard – this was then used as a guide, so the spacing would be the same on all of the signatures. I then used a needle to poke the holes into each signature separately. During the process I noticed how hard it was, to make the holes exactly in the crease of the paper and not a little to one or the other side.

The binding process itself was quite simple and straightforward, you just had to make sure to always go through the loop of the previous signature, to create this sort of crossover look, which is the signature of the French link stitch and gives it its name. In the last hole of each signature you would make a coptic stitch, to secure the signatures and give it more stability. When I was finished with binding, I glued another sheet of paper onto the top and bottom of my stack of my notebook, which would later serve as the endpaper, where the grey cardboard would be glued on. Then I put glue on the whole back of the book, to seal in the binding and make the final product more sturdy.

When everything was dried, I added a hot foil stamping to the cover, in the same color as the yarn. The final step was to glue the cardboard onto the front and back of my book and then all sides except for the back of the notebook were cut in a machine, to create this clean finish.

The whole project was a great success and I’m very content with the final outcome. What I really love about this binding method, is how sturdy it is and the pages lie completely flat. Having the edges cut with a professional machine also made a huge difference, in how polished the final product looks.

Mission: Explore

Mission: Explore is a successful book series that was developed by the Geography Collective. Their goal is to encourage children to explore the outdoors.

Pros:

Mission: Explore features a diverse range of missions that are either set in or are about the outdoors. Constructing miniature rafts or crafting nature-inspired artwork for example.

It cultivates curiosity and critical thinking by engaging children in observation and investigation. Through active exploration of their surroundings, children learn to analyze and make sense of the world and furthering cognitive abilities.

The flexibility of Mission: Explore ensures that it is applicable in different surroundings, including urban, suburban, and rural settings. By offering missions that can be adapted to any environment, the project serves as a valuable resource for children worldwide.

Cons:

The availability and accessibility of Mission: Explore books and resources may vary, depending on geographical location and distribution channels. This could be a challenge for people who don’t have easy access to the materials.

Mission: Explore reduces the dependence on screens. While this aspect encourages direct engagement with nature, children who are accustomed to digital activities may lose interest quickly. A Mission:Explore app could be the solution for this problem.

LOGO PRESENTATION

Presenting a brand identity or a logo is not just about sending the client the logo. It is important to covey the client a feeling about the design and the brand. Therefore, we as designers have to prepare a brand presentation. Only so the client understands the direction of the branding. A lot of times designers do 3 or even more logos which they present to the clients, instead of focusing on one and presenting it a best way.

What to include in a presentation of a logo:

  1. Back story: including information about the business and including some words to summarize the brans direction. The client can so see really dived deep into.
  2. Mood board:  normally this is something that already happens before as a compromise with the client about the style. But it is always good to show again where the original inspiration was gathered from.
  3. Logos and variations: including design decisions, why you designed a logo/brand identity in a specific way. Showing all the variations and make it clear to the client what they can be used for.
  4. Typography: there should be consistent set of fonts used across the brand so it is relevant to show them and how they should be used, also one with another.
  5. Colour pallete: the brand has to have a complementary color pallete that is distinct to you client.
  6. Brand pattern and elements: if there are some they have to be showcased. All the shapes have to be explained why they have been specifically designed.
  7. Photography, style, direction: including this elements can really help the client to feel for the brand and can help them to follow the style when they have a brand photoshoot.
  8. Social media feed example: if the client is predominantly on social media and uses this to target the audience it is nice to show how the feed could look like with the implemented branding.
  9. Mockcups: help to create the wow effect for the client and give the client an insight of the possibilities in a real life sitations

Colors in exhibition design

The design of the exhibition and visitor experience play important roles in the exhibition spaces, as do the properties of color in the exhibition. However, given the survey of literature, there is limited research on the specifics of color properties in exhibition design and how these properties affect the visitors.

Engaging color properties, exhibition design, and visitor experience is the purpose of this creative project to understand how color affects visitors in exhibit spaces by understanding the influence of atmospheric variables in the exhibit environment, specifically background color. Color contains such an unconscious emotion that is uncontainable however, color choice in a museum exhibition is a conscious decision.

This research seeks to understand the relationship of 14 that color choice within the exhibit environment. The intention of the project is to explore the human reaction to different styles of paintings against each color property within an exhibit space. Through the physical exhibits I created, I am able to fully engage the viewer and comprehend their reactions.

Three tri fold exhibits were constructed, and three distinct colors selected. A monochromatic scheme, using variations of orange was selected. The paint colors were chosen from an assortment of color-aid sheets, and taken to a hardware store to be individually mixed according to the cards.

The bright orange hue  was selected because of its bold saturation and attention-grabbing capabilities. The warm orange color was chosen intentionally , warm colors tend to appear nearer in depth to the viewer so this would encourage the focus of the experiment to be the wall color rather than solely on the painting. This is due to the theory that the eye can adjust quicker to warm colors because of the longer wavelengths .

The prototype exhibit was setup for two weeks; one week for a well-known traditional painting and one weeklong for a contemporary abstract piece of art. These two particular styles of art were chosen because of their distinct features. A van Gogh painting , in which many recognize, is in the style of Impressionism which revolves more around an abstract visualization of a particular subject matter. A contemporary art piece  takes that one step farther with a completely geometric abstract image. The color palettes of both paintings  remained similar so that only the style of the artwork was a factor in visitor experience not the color of the artwork itself.

For the first week, van Gogh’s painting, “Wheatfield with Cypresses”, was hung in each exhibit. This famous artist was chosen because of its familiarity to most audiences . This way the focus in the exhibit was less on the artwork and more about the relationship between the wall color and the artwork. The particular painting was selected due to the balance of warm and cool colors again to give the majority of the focus on the wall color without having too much one area of the painting stand out.

During the second week of the experiment another set of paintings were hung in each exhibit space. An original contemporary painting, each hand painted by the author of this study, was hung to inquire if the style of art in the space affected the visitor experience via color. The size , orientation , and color palette of my painting remained the same so that there was consistency throughout the study.

For the contemporary painting, colors were taken from van Gogh’s “Wheatfield with Cypresses” painting in order to create a similar color palette. The initial design layout and color scheme was created in Illustrator and then mapped out on each canvas with tape. the original Illustrator design. After the design was mapped out, acrylic paints were mixed, and each canvas was hand painted in the same layout as the digital file.

The collection of data involved a survey for participants of the study as well as an onsite observation. Before any of this was done, an initial literature review directed research into topics like color theory, museum design, and visitor experience.

From the survey it was determined that the exhibit that least attracted the viewers was the third exhibit or the hue orange. Based on both weeks of the study, a majority of the participants would not likely return to an exhibit of this wall color. The graphs below  represent survey results from each week asking if the wall color from the exhibit they were least attracted to takes away from the actual artwork.

From the results it can be concluded that the background color of the  third exhibit was found to be too distracting for the viewers causing the color to be more prominent than the actual artwork. The two graphs side by side also demonstrates that the style of painting in the exhibit does not necessarily affect the perception of colors within the space. In both weeks, the color of the second exhibit  was found not take to away from the actual artwork by a majority vote. The first  and third  colors were said to take away from the artwork by the participants. A prediction was made that the third exhibit with the bold hue color would appeal more to the contemporary painting style than the van Gogh, however, the survey results show that this is not the case.

The second survey received only 20 participants but with some changes to the initial predictions. The second exhibit still turned out to be the most preferred exhibit with 50% of responses in favor. Only 5% answered that they were very likely to return to an exhibit with the orange hue background color paired with the contemporary painting. During the same week, 55% of viewers felt overwhelmed by the exhibit while only 15% felt captivated or indifferent. during the first week’s survey, a majority of people reported feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or anxious in this exhibit. The orange hue was so overwhelming and distracting that it was universally the least appealing exhibit with 84% in the first week and 65% in the second week agreeing.

Through the engagement color properties, exhibition design, and visitor experience, the purpose of this creative endeavor was to determine if the style of art hanging in the exhibit affected the response to the wall colors. The prediction was that the contemporary style painting would appeal more to the bright hue of orange instead of the van Gogh painting. The size, orientation, and color palette of the paintings remained the same so that those factors would not sway the viewers. The prediction was that perhaps the colors of the artwork is not what influences the visitor experience, but the style of artwork paired with the color of the space.

Experiment Ideen

Während der Recherche für weiteren Experimente, kamen mehrere Ideen zusammen, die man ausprobieren könnte.

Hier sind einige Ideen für Design-Experimente zur Verbesserung von Leitsystemen:

1. Vergleichende Beschilderungsstudie: Vergleichen der Wirksamkeit verschiedener Beschilderungsdesigns in einer bestimmten Umgebung.

Nutzen des Feedbacks, um das Design zu überarbeiten, Änderungen zu implementieren und die Auswirkungen auf die Benutzerzufriedenheit und die Navigationsleistung zu messen.

HETERONORMATIVITY

The basis of our binary system is the heteronormativity: we are all presumably cis-heterosexual.

CIS are people who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. That is, girls with female sexed characters and boys with male sexed characters.

HETEROSEXUALS (or straight people) are boys who like girls and girls who like boys.

The reason why heteronormativity does not admit anything that has to do with trans or queer is because it would mean recognizing that there are realities outside the hegemonic. And, from this axiom (women and men are cisheterosexual until proven otherwise), two gender frames are generated, two sets of ideas about what is considered expected and acceptable behaviour on women and on men.

Furthermore, since, from this point of view, we are expected to pair up in straight couples, masculine and feminine are understood as opposites. An approach that, at the same time, causes inequality to be seen as natural. In this sense, all elements of popular culture and formal education work to create men and women from “templates” that complement each other.

Thus, to sum it up in one sentence, HETERONORMATIVITY and binarism are the ones to look at if we want to understand why women and men develop different personality traits, abilities and deficiencies.

Gender devices

The main “channels” through which we learn how we should behave and what we should like are:

Interactions within our personal environment (family, friendships…). During pregnancy, external genitalia, internal genitalia, chromosomes, sex hormones and other elements of the organism are sexed in both directions. Unlike what is often thought, there are no traits that are exclusive to men, nor to women: all sexual characteristics, all of them, are compatible and occur, to different extents, in both women and men. However, depending on what our genitalia looks more like when we are born, we are assigned “boy” or “girl”. This categorization extends throughout our whole life. In fact, in most families, the roles of each member are very related to their gender. It goes the same way in our social interactions, because our personalities are built around our gender.

School and regulated activities (formal and non-formal education). No one escapes the clutches of binarism, which means that even our teachers and educators are affected by this. Actually, they are much more conditioned by their gender than the kids they teach. From the way they describe the same behavior differently on boys and girls, to the game options that they offer to the children: schools are not gender-free spaces.

Elements of popular culture (advertising, geopolitical context…). Publicity is one of the main channels of social control, specially gender-wise. Every advertisement, movie, show, book, song, etc. is full of gender stereotypes and “slogans”. Products are different depending on the target they want to appeal and the message they want people to get.

In short, there is no situation in our lives in which the GENDER DEVICES don’t put their hands on us.

Themenänderung. Ein neues Thema für dieses Semester ist endlich gefunden.

Meine letzten Blogeinträge:

Für dieses Semester werde ich mein Thema ändern. Im letzten Semester habe ich mich damit beschäftigt, wie man Gamification durch Interaktionen auf Websites platziert und wann genau das Sinnvoll ist. Leider bin ich im Zuge meiner Recherchen automatisch immer wieder ins E-Commerce abgerutscht und habe begonnen, vermehrt darüber zu Recherchieren. Seit April 2023 habe ich eine Anstellung an der der Technischen Universität als Webdesignerin und Webentwicklerin ergattern können. Ich bekam nicht nur die Möglichkeit, bis Ende 2024 zu arbeiten und meine Fähigkeiten in diesem Bereich weiter auszubauen sondern auch die Gelegenheit, meine Masterarbeit an der TU Graz zu schreiben.

Das Thema, um das es sich in meiner Masterarbeit drehen wird, lautet: “Relaunch der Website vom digital university hub – vom neuen Interfacedesign bis hin zur Entwicklung”. Das ist nur eine grobe Vorstellung von einem möglichen Titel. Ich bin begeistert von dieser Chance, an einem so spannenden Projekt mitzuarbeiten und die Webseite des DUH neu zu gestalten und weiterzuentwickeln.

Auf die kommenden Monate freue ich mich, wo ich meinen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Website des DUH leisten werde und mein Wissen im Bereich Webdesign und Webentwicklung weiter ausbauen kann.
