Today I completed a project that isn’t due until Friday the 20th of February. This project was to design and create a Film Production Company Logo. On our first day of this semester, our lecturer made us all come up with our own Film Production Company name. Later, the names were shared and swapped throughout the class and, in essence, everyone became someone elses client.

I was chosen to design and conceptualise a logo for someone who’s Production Company was called “TakeTwo”. Firstly, I had to come up with an idea and this was achieved my quickly sketching some basic ideas with pencil and paper. After about 20 some jumped out at me as being pretty good and then I felt that I should draw them out in greater detail just to show them in a better light.

I showed these drawings to my client and she chose here favourite one which, coincidentally, was mine too. I then drew this up on Adobe Illustrator. I did some little tweaks that I thought would improve it even more at this stage.

It was at this stage that I added the film reel cut-outs to tie it in with the Film Production Company. I also made the “PRODUCTIONS” type a little smaller than “TAKE TWO” as there was no need for it to be as prominant.

Tada! All done. I’m pretty happy with it.
However, I’m not all done there. We then had to make a Compimentary Slip, Business card and Headed Paper. All of which, can be seen below.

Any comments are greatly appreciated. Creative Critisism is also welcomed. Thanks.

Yeah…. sure…. “awesomeness” is a real word. I swear!

Anywho, my friend and coincidentally, my housemate is a member of a band called “OneEar” (listen to “Monster” on their bebo or “She Drives Me Wild”), who are were in need of a poster to stick around the place to promote their gigs.

I happily complied and with the promise of 2 bars of chocolate as payment, I was well happy with my first paid job.

The resulting design is below and I’m pretty happy with it. Any comments?

Edit// 7/12/08

The poster has been updated to the final version. The old one is still available HERE if you want to compare.

I made a new skin for bebo there last night. I think it’s pretty funny and I’m particularly proud of the logo although it’s simple enough.

It didn’t take me any time at all really (which probably shows) but I like it anyway.
