Closed Cities

This editorial looks more like a type setting style brief than creating something really creative. I love how the style of design is set to a grid system and also how they have kept the images and the text separate from one another, the overall effect of this is creating something that offers a high end finish and if it were to be printed on high quality stock then it would work highly effectively.

This makes me think that we need to start designing for a more ranged and varied amount of stock, these designs are so simple that it can begin to show about what a huge difference. The small X is something that can be used as a symbol to finalise who they are, once their branding is set up and complete they will be able to just send someone a symbol of their cross and it will represent who they are.

This personal branding is beautiful, it draws my attention to wanting to test out more styles, the way that all of his designs are hand drawn for each card gives it a really person feel which each client will receive. The wax seal just finishes of the design with a professional finish, however getting the design and finish as clean cut and crisp as they have then it would make the final design.

This branding doesn't really represent or tell you what the company is however its nice to see how it can range and how they have proposed it over a massive and more dynamic range of medias, this is something to take into account.

Although this doesn't link to our branding much at all, we are still able to get some ideas from it, The illustrative side kinda of draws away the concept of what its trying to communicate however i really like the way in which only sections of the front are visible from the image and then the text blanks it out, this gives it a higher high anarchy.

These are more ideas of designs that we can start to try and generate ideas from, this is something that will help us to push the concept of Obediah forward.

Even though this is a simple design it still managed to spark the concept of making a business card which could have two sides to the design, the first being how it could be perforated down the centre so that you are able to tear it in half and spread the word of our company further.
