Sublime Doughnuts Specialty Piece

So for my specialty piece, I decided to make a Sublime Doughnuts mug, eco- friendly water bottle, and travel mug. I used clear ink-jet water-slide decal paper ,acrylic spray, scissors, and water. Here's the final result:

And the board

I need to fix the lighting in Photoshop  for the photo above, so I only printed the outline one below.

Here's a video for how to use water decal paper in case you decide to use it your project.

Earth Day Poster

So I scrapped the infographic poster idea and went a different direction. Here's how my Earth Day Poster turned out. Let me know what you think!

Infographic

For my Earth Day Poster I decided to create an infographic, which is a visual representation of information, data, or knowledge. I want to base my infographic off of land, air, water, energy stats. So I've been reading up on infographics and found this article helpful. Hope you enjoy it!

Ads revised

Progress on Ads

Since I last posted, I have revised all 3 ads and changed 2 of them completely, but in the end I decided to use the silhouette of Homer J. Simpson in all three ads. I'm not sure of which 3.5 x11 ad I will use. So let me know which one you prefer as well as what you think of all 3 ads. Enjoy.

3 ads

Here's what I have so far for the ads
As always feel free to let me know what you think.

Memes

O.K. So I don't really bother to read alot of memes but for some reason I had the idea to make use of them in my 3 ads. Weird.... But, I'll try it out and we'll see how they turn out.

That being said I leave you with a Bob Ross meme that is humorous. 

Silhouettes

I'm thinking of  using silhouettes in my 3 Sublime Doughnuts ads. So while I'm sketching and brainstorming I hope you'll enjoy this link of hilarious silhouettes.

Stationery

Here's my stationery for Sublime Doughnuts. Hopefully before Monday I'll mock up and snap some pictures of the business cards, letterhead, and envelope and post them here. And as always feel free to let me know what you think.

Inspiration

As I continue to work on stationery, I find more sites and web pages that inspire me. Here is one site in particular that I enjoyed and hope you will too!

Business Card

I'm really ecstatic to begin work on the Sublime Doughnuts business card! Here's an idea of what I want to do with the Sublime Doughnuts business card. It probably doesn't make sense to you right now, but when I post the physical copy, you should get it.

Finalized Logos

These are the 2 logos that I have decided to take through to the next step in the re-branding process, which is stationery. Before the end of this week, I will post some ideas I have for Sublime Doughnuts' stationery.

My Thoughts After the Critique

I feel like I'll carry these 2 logos onto the stationery stage, but I'm leaning more towards using the first one. Right now, I'm working on tweaking both of the logos based on some of my own ideas and some of the suggestions that I got from the class.

Last Batch of New Ink'd Logos Before the First Critique

As the title states, this is the last batch of new logos before I choose logo(s) for Monday's critique. Again, feel free to let me know which ones you like.

Thanks in advance,

Oh Snap! Sublime Doughnuts Went International!!

Today while I was doing more research for my creative brief, I stumbled upon this announcing Sublime Doughuts' new location in Bangkok, Thailand! Nice work Grant and the rest of the Sublime Doughuts team!!

The Design Price Formula

I pulled this from David Airey's site because pricing is something that I've been think about alot lately. Recently I interviewed for a job where I would be designing logos initially and later on fliers, posters, brochures, etc. But when we talked about price we touched on it, but we really didn't go into too much details because pricing presents its challenges. Hopefully using this formula and using what I learned from researching will help me come up with a price and contract that is suitable for both parties.

Convert CMYK Swatches to Pantone Numbers

Now that we're starting to add color(s) to our logos, I'm reminded of a time in which I used CMYK swatches when I was suppose to use Pantone numbers. Since I didn't know how to convert them to Pantone numbers and I didn't want to waste time trying similar colors I searched the internet and found this method to converting CMYK swatches to Pantone numbers and I was so happy with it because it was fast and easy!!

Now we're cooking!

So I've scanned in my sketches and have finished inking them!!! Feeling a lot more confident about the new batch of Sublime Doughnuts logos that I've created. Here are a few of them. Feel free to leave a comment to let me know which ones you like. Can't wait to begin the next step in the re-branding process!

Cool Find!

I was searching for logos on the web and came upon this page of vintage logos from the 70's edition of World of Logotype and I thought I'd share it. So feel free to take look and enjoy them!!

Logo design ideas

During the weekend and this week I've been working on getting my logo ideas to the computer. Here are a just a few of the logo designs I've come up with for Sublime Doughnuts.

Resonance

Resonance is defined as the "richness or significance, especially in evoking an association or strong emotion." Resonance is the name of this film. It is all about ideas. I first stumbled upon this video today and thought it was worth spending 11 minutes and 4 seconds watching it. You should spend 11 minutes and 4 seconds watching it too.

Sketches Galore

So I'm working on the new logo for Sublime Doughnuts. Here are a couple of sketches of what I'm working on. Not totally sold on any of the sketches, but I'm working on it.
