REFLECTION

Experience

This class was really more fun and interesting than I had thought beforehand. When I heard Brand Corporate Identity, I truly had no idea what it would entail, and thought it would just be a module about business. However, I was pleasantly surprised that we got the truly fun part of a brand. (hehe.. I'm a designer, you can't fault me!) I think that since we were given the freedom to design our own brand, with our own set of rules, it made it even better. Would I have been asked for any other way to learn how to build a brand's identity? Probably not. I think it was helpful to have been able to learn how to build a brand's identity from the ground up, with our own inspirations and passions, rather than assigning a brand idea. So, you can say that I was highly satisfied by this class! I am very grateful to have been led by Ms Lilian who was able to guide me when I felt lost, and helped me find the best way to structure Sobuya.

Observations

Through this module, I was able to observe many brands' styles, and try to learn how each one of them was done and how each element correlates to the brand's final identity. I definitely look at brands & their logos now, with admiration and wonder as to what went on in the designer's head to create such a look. I also had to constantly keep an eye out for my own work, as I was eager to maintain the look of Sobuya to be consistent throughout the different applications. While I knew I had to be consistent, it is easier said than done in order to prevent it from looking too mismatched or too out of place. 

Findings

Through this module, I was able to find out a lot about logo design and myself. For logo design, I learnt how important rationalisation is in creating a logo. Sure, Pepsi's logo redesign seemed extreme, and I don't think I would be creating rationalisations that detail the logo's magnetic fields anytime soon, but it did rationalise the logo, in some ways. For myself, I always assumed my little café idea would be cutesy as I never really experimented with the modern look I pushed for Sobuya (despite there being traditional elements within the design). Thus, I was surprised at my own abilities to create something that I am personally really proud of, and I think I learnt not to be scared of exploring styles.
