Student Works: Atfest'12 Poster Designs

It's been so long since my last post and now im happy to share the works of my students in my Comm330 (Digital Multimedia) class. Part of multimedia is creating graphics and to test their skill in design and use of Photoshop, i asked them to create a simple promotional poster in line of the celebration of the Centennial Ateneo Fiesta. I also asked them to blog about their poster so click on their posters below to see what they have to say about their own design.

Grease Mania

This week episode of Glee paid tribute to the 70's hit musical film Grease starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. I really love how they connected the musical with real teenage issues that are really occuring in high schools nowadays. I love their interpretation of the classic songs like "Grease Lightning" and "You're all that I want" while making relevant to the show's storyline. This has got to be one of my favorite episodes yet.

My Grease fever didn't stop there. Just this week, we also produced a Grease-inspired music video for a group in one of the companies here in Zamboanga. My friend got this project and ask me to direct and edit the video. We went to the location during the shooting day without any knowledge on what we will shoot. I'm glad they were prepared with their choreography, costume and make-up. Accordingly, this music video will be their entry for a competition their company is having on December. So we shot the best that we can and edited it like it came from your old betamax tapes.hehe. Enough said, here's our 70's inspired music video to the tune of "Summer Nights" and "You're All That I Want".

Carlos and Elaine SDE

The Trebor Z Team just had our first back to back wedding coverage. We split the team into two groups and covered two separate weddings simultaneously with SDE's. My group covered a Catholic wedding and the other group had an Christian (Alliance) wedding. At the end of the day, we were successful in delivering our videos and it's really a sign that we are ready for to accomodate two events in a day. This is important because December is coming and it's the peak season of weddings and events.

Anyways, here's the SDE of our couple, Carlos and Elaine. This couple lives in US and decided to get married in the bride's hometown. Carlos is Latino living in US and it's his first time to visit the Elaine's family here in the Philippines. The music that is used in the video is Lauryn Hill's RnB version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", which is their theme song. To add some modern edge, I used another upbeat song, Eyes by Kaskade. The couple were surprised when they saw the SDE. They thanked us personally and said that they didn't expect the video would be done so quickly. The bride was so touched with the effort the groom did in the first part of the video. Anyways, look into this video and see how cool this couple is. :D

Logo Design: Tea.gre Milk Tea

This is my latest branding project for an upcoming business in Manila. I was asked to do a logo for a new Milk Tea business offering authentic taiwanese milk tea. The name is "Tea.gre" and the idea is to put some tiger feel on it. I started with my research on the existing milk tea brands and here are some of them.

I observed that there are four main themes in milk tea logos. First, is the tea leaf, which of course, symbolize the tea element of the product. Second, is the informal/creative use of typography. Since its a food business, the fonts used are not too formal, very readable and fun to look at. Third, is the use of secondary vibrant colors. Aside from green as the common color representing tea, they used another vibrant color such as pink, purple or orange to add a pop of color into the logo.

Lastly, I noticed that they also incorporated the "cuteness" factor which reminds us of K-Pop and Chibi characters of the animes. It gives the feel of a foreign product (like it came from an East-Asian country). This is a very important element to attract customers of all ages. With these key factors in designing a logo for a milk tea business, i came up with these three studies which i presented to the client.

I started with three different logo styles in my initial design. The first study has a tiger character into it with its body transitioning into a tea leaf. The font that I used reminds me of eastern calligraphy yet the rough edges of the outlines gives the logo a safari feel. The second study is more abstract. The graphic in the logo in the shape of the leaf can also be seen as a top view of tiger. The font that i used also looks like brush stokes and the pattern also has a safari feel in it. The third study is a typographic logo with round and bubbly edges. The tail of the "g" is designed to look like a tiger's tail.

And so, I emailed the studies and here's the feedback. They really liked the tiger character with the tea leaf concept. However, they thought that the tiger character is not that "appealing". So they requested for another character design. They also want to incorporate the typography of the third study but with another font style. So, here are my revised font choices and character design.

I explored more font styles in this one. Personally i like the original one that i did. If not, the second from the right. :D

These are three character studies of the Tiger. I made the tiger look like its holding and drinking milk tea. I made variations with the ear, nose and eye shapes. They chose the first character design. The next revision is to make it a round logo "like Starbucks". After another set of redesigning, here are my round logo proposals.

I stayed with the three main colors: brown, orange and green. I used different combinations of fonts, type placing and colors. Finally, the logo that they chose is first one in the second row. But it doesn't stop there. They also requested to change "Milk Tea" to "Authentic Taiwanese Milk Tea". It's a pretty lengthy addition to the design so i really have to make a way to balance it. And so, here are my proposals.

I placed the new text below Teagre. I also proposed to put chinese characters of milk and tea so that the spaces where Milk and Tea used to be will be occupied. They chose the last one with the thinner sub text below. However, they preferred to remove the chinese characters. Finally, here's the official logo of Teagre. I also rendered it in a milk tea cup so you can see how it looks like in the final product.

So what do you think about the final logo? Let's analyze it based on the four elements that I mentioned above. First, does it have the tea leaf? Yes. Second, is the font creative/quirky? Not really, but its readable. I think this is the weakest part of the design. I hope that they chose a more creative font style. Third, is there a secondary color? Yes, Orange. And fourth, does it have the cuteness factor? Yes! :3

I really hope I gave the client a logo that they desire. I did my best to cater every requests to come up with an effective design. Logo design is a very long process of research, design, and redesign. A lot of factor and elements should be considered and incorporated but its our job to lay them out and make sure it is a balanced and harmonious design. Personally, i have different preferences about the design but the client has the final word. At the end of the they, client satisfaction is the most important. :D
