Personal Research Project ( research)

I created a mood board  with the work of these great artists ...

As you can see they have great influences in my work.

Image 1: I started my research by looking into the different types of typography and colours. Then I mixed then all together as an experiment to see what kind of effect I would get, and this is the result.

Image 2:  I played with the size of the letters and moved them behind the background to see the kind of effect I would get.

 Image 3 & 4: I started working on a different logo, after doing small Google search to find out avability and I found out that already existed a graphic design with those initials , and I decided to go with AnaIsee Design :) . I used the colourful background from my first typography research and combined it with the letters to see the type of effect I would get.

Image 5: Another experimentation with the colourful typography; filling the letters with black and merging it with the background typography.

Image 6 & 7: In this image, I tried to fill the background with the main logo anaIsee design in small letters to experiment with the colours black and white.

 Image 8: Same experiment as the above images but with different size letters and the background the writing in different spaces instead of been aligned. 

Personal Research

I have been working on this new project , that so far I am running a bit late. The aim of this project is to make you think and work as if it was a real live work situation ...

So I started the research in my area of interest, which is Graphic Design. However, as people know, this is a very big area so I found myself with a lot of material to work with. I wasn't sure which area to concentrate on. I realized that my research was similar to my previous project Another Skin (in that project I created a magazine).  Using my previous project as inspiration, I began researching for how to advertise so I could put my magazine in the market. I realised before I do all of that I needed to make people recognize who made the magazine, or at least have on the market have an identity registered as a graphic designer. So this Personal research project ended up been a very personal topic.

First I started by looking and thinking towards what I wanted as Graphic designer. I came to the conclusion that I want to make my name my brand my logo, with this logo being something that people want to have in t-shirts, cards and posters. So I commenced looking into what the big brands we know for our generation and that we recognize for their typography, colours or images related to their logo. I initiated with researching brand names. What I researched included: what they mean, and how it was generated... I looked at their colours and the reasons why they choose those colours.
After this research topic, I started looking into what I want my logo to look like, keeping in mind the brand research I conducted.

On my tries to create my logo you can see the influences of the artists that I researched to help this project. For example you will see the influence of David Carson and Jonathan Barnbrook.
