Jamie Banks Logo

Ive recently started to design logo for a client Jamie Banks. Here is the brief that I was set...

Hey heres a brief

Jay Banks is a Personal trainer and studio instructor that offers 1 on 1 and small group training sessions in Weight lose, Body scuplting, Pilates, Muscle & Strength training and Sports spicific Training

The logo needs to be something that will attract both male and female clients looking to get healthy and fit but at the same time fun.

The first logo with one the attachment with the guy holding the kettle bell and the second on that is pilates are my favs

hope thats enough

Basing myself on this brief I started to research into other fitness and gym logos. I wanted to create something that looked like it was good to get yourself fit etc. I did a few sketches and this was one of them that I preferred the most. I wanted to get it into the computer to edit and see what other designs I could come up with from working from it using this as grounding.

Development Process

I set up a document and set these designs to the client to see what he thought about them this was his response...

Hey i really like the idea of the arm but i also need to show a soft side for women that like to lunch can connect with

So having 'Jay Banks' as the centre with the arm coming out the right side and the softer image on the left some how.

Also Can the LOGO and writing will be in bright orange on black when printed.

Ive attached some softer fitness images but if you need more i can get them for google

Thanks so much for helping me i really do appreciate it.

Work Experience

A very random meeting but when I was out one night I got chatting to a bloke called Drew who works for Don't Panic we exchanged contact details and he said that he could put me in contact with a few people to organise some work experience so we have been emailing each other a few times to see if I could get any work experience.

Hi, Its Lauren I met you at Faversham on Thursday night, not sure if you remember but we we're talking about Graphic Design etc and I was saying that I was looking for a placement.

Do you know if you could put me in contact with anyone or if you have any going at where you work?

Hope you had a good night!

Regards

Lauren.

Drew

Hi Lauren,

It would probably be best if you sent me some of your portfolio. I could certainly pass on some of your stuff to some people.

I know there are placements about at the moment, if you are willing to put in the working hours without a burning need to get paid initially.

Send me some stuff and il see what I can do.

Thursday was messy!! ha.

Drew

Hi

Thanks for getting back to me. At the moment I'm currently working on some work that I'm wanting to include in my portfolio, I'm currently still finishing it so if I get back to you in a week or so with it and send it to you then is that alright?

Yes I'm willing to put all the hours in and I didn't expect to get paid anyway. I'm just grateful for the experience!

Regards

Lauren

Drew

No worries, Just when ever you can get it to me and I will forward it on to some people.

Portfolio Mail Shot

So I've had a little think and a chat with John about how I could effectively get my portfolio seen when sending it to design agencies, because my portfolio is digital based I thought about packaging it in a clear wallet including portfolio cards and sealing it with a sticker showing my logo. But to make this stand out I have been looking at bright metallic jiffy bags so when its posted through the door fingers crossed they go to the brightest item like a magpie!



When I was looking around for business card research for my Nero brief I came across a really good website called Business Cards Observer not only does it show business card designs but takes you to websites of different printers and what they offer.

I came across the website Moo where you can create mini cards you can use these for calling cards, business cards, or even to create a pocket portfolio they even come in a small box. I thought this would be a good idea to use the mini cards so I can slot them inside the CD case, what I am going to do is crop the images so you only see part of the image to make it more intriguing.

It is also very easy to do you can create it all online crop them etc lay them out and there not very expensive either.

James Page CD cover and CD design

Hi Lauren!!!!

I love this colour sheme Looks amazing in that image!! I do like the cirle idea and to get where your coming from with the retro image, is there any way we could maybe incoperate that idea into like a logo or image sorry i'm being really difficult i know you have loads to get on with. maybe what could be cool would be the smaller image smaller on like the cd cover a bit arty maybe lol Not sure if you can tell i'm not quite got at the technical lingo, be cool to chat about some ideas over christmas that ok? do you have like a dead line soon??? hope the uni live is going ok well jelous!!
