Final Desgin of shred


this is my final desgin for shred; as you can see i have stayed with the same font on this logo aswell this now shows that all three of my logos have the same font type which is one of the aspects which will marry them into a 'family' of logo's. the same as before when i was making this logo i again thought about the target audience and the sorts of colours i would need to use to make them intrested in this radio station. i also needed to think about the background again on this logo as i needed to make it fit in with the name of the station so i decided to use a green explosion like tool to go in the background. i believed that this would show angry and shred! as its big and looks out of control.
overall i believe that this logo will be successful in the radio business as it is eye catching and eople will want to know more about this radio station and also the other two, which would them help all three radio station get the promotion which they need. again this radio station will have the merchidise to go with it and would have the same tyes as the other two logos.

I believe that i have made this logo represent the type of people i want to have listening to radio station, the colours which i would of used would also relate to the target audience and would be bright enough to grab there attention with the colour.

The green behind the writing is a good effect and makes the writing seem like its poped out.

ebi:

the green was a little brighter and would therefore make the writing come out even more and grab the audience attention.

final desgin of Pulse


This is my final desgin of pulse; as you can see i have stayed with the same font type as i had for the logo 'BUZZ'. i thought this would help marry all of the logo's together and make them seem more of a 'family'. when making this logo i thought about the colours which i could use to make them appeal to the target audience more! i also needed to have something in the background this is where the paint spolges come into the desgin i thought that it has a jazzed up edging and would maybe look like it was pulsing.. i also thought that it could also represent the music.. as the music plays they move in and out in a pulsing fashion.
overall i believe that this logo will be successful in the radio business; as it is eye catching and people will want to know more about what'pulse' is. i would also create a wide range of merchindise like i did for the buzz logo to help promote the radio station and then would end bring all logos together now and again to show that they area family and come from the same produces

www:

the colours i used go well together and reach out to this radio stations target audience

the font matches the rest of the logo's so this makes them look like a family
ebi:

the background makes no sense to the word pulse and wouldnt be a typical thing you put as the background

Feedback for logo's

During one of my lessons i decided that i would get feedback from other members of my class on what they think of the three different logo's which i had designed for the free different radio station, i gained both positive feedback as well as negative feedback. some points which my peers had made was:

Buzz: 'i like the little buzz symbol just below the B'
'did it have to be a black background?'
'i like the lines buzzing off, it shows a lot of energy therefore linking with the name'

Pulse: 'same with the splatter its effective but i don't understand why you have chosen it for pulse'
'i like the choice of colours they don't single out a specific gender'
'creative and colourful i like the font and think it will suit the target audience'
Shred: 'the green splurge is a nice effect as it makes the letters almost pop out'
'now this symbol is great, perfection but it is similar to the buzz logo with the colours which you have used'

overall i received one Even better if and this was; ' you had a symbol on each logo linking them together'

after reading all of these feedbacks i believe that my logos will be successful in reaching the audience which they are targeted at; however i think i would also need to add maybe a icon or something which would make the logos look more like a 'family' as i've only got the font type the same on each logo.

Final Designs: Buzz

Within this blog post i will be showing you my final design of the logo for the radio station Buzz, and also will be introducing you to some merchandise which i have create for the radio station to sell to there listeners. All of the merchandise obtains a image of the logo in one form or another. I have decided that would create a Males T-shirt, females T-shirt, unisex hoodies in both adult and child and also mugs and cans.

Here are a sectio
ns of some of the different colour hoodies the radio station would be selling; as you can see each hoodie is a different colour which would of then lead onto having to change the background colour of each logo, so that it fitted in well with the colour of the hoodie. when people buy these hoodies, not only would they be recieving and 'stylish t-shirt' they would also be helping to promote the radio station as they have the logo on them. I believe that if someone walked past anyone with one of these jumpers on they would want to know more about 'what is Buzz?' allowing them to do research they would then find the radio stations website which would have the same logo as gif on there website allowing it to move, and allowing all of the logo to think to each other.
next i am going to show you the design for the male and female t-shirt and explain how having these t-shirts would
benefit the radio stations and why i have chosen these types of shirts in the first place:
this is the male design for with the buzz logo on; as you
can see the shape of this t-shirt
allows you to think of it as the males compared to the shape a
nd layers on the female t-shirt. having this type of t-shirt for the males allow you to see he differences between the male and female.
Alike with the hoodies this t-shirt would be a great way for the up and coming radio station to have its logo broadcasted everywhere. allowing one person to see the logo and wondering what it could possibly be for and then telling there mates.
now i am going to show you the design for the female version of the t-shirt. i believed that it was important for me to male and female version as it shows that the radio station is for
both sexist and would therefore be reaching the target audience.
this is the design for the female version of the women's t-shirt, as you can see the t-shirt is very different from what the males t-shirt looked like. the main difference if the selves of the shirt. these instantly make the shirt look much more girly.

I have chosen black for both of these shirts as it matches the back ground of the logo. however i did need to blend both of the blacks tog
ether as i would them to look the same and would want it to look like some cruddy transfer. now i believe that both of these t-shirts would be able to get the radio station more popularity for the radio station.

As well as having clothes to sell i have decided that i would also have every day options which could also be a good idea to have to make the radio station better known.










Making of Pulse

Within this blog enter i will be creating the last logo out of the three, this one is for the radio station which goes by the name of Pulse.

When i first open photoshop i needed to create a new document; i decided to make the page a A4 side as i wasn't sure how much room the logo would take up. i decided on two colours for this logo; these being Blue, purple and pink. again i have decided to stay with the same font as the other two, being never writer. again i will be making my own arrows and extra stamps to put on the font to make it look more like the logo's which i had designed on the planning sheets.

I have already started to use the different layers for all of the different letters and background.

Each letter on the page has its own layer as i wanted to be able to move the around to make it more jazzed up and then also would be able to change the colour of the letter and also then would be able to open up the layer style box to make changes and edit it through there.

As you can see there is a eye next to each new layer i decided that when working on one part of the logo i would then remove the eye; so i would only see the part which i wanted. underneath each layer i have extra effects which i have added to each of the layer to make it seem more professional



After this i decided to go and edit some of the text and see if i
could change some of the colours to try and make them much more
brighter. i did this by being on the same computer which i have worked on throughout completing this unit. As i have saved thatfont to just one computer. As the layer was a text layer i was able to click on the text tool on the toolbar, after this i would then beable to get the chance to highlight the letter and then this would then allow metoo change the font size and colour

This is the screen shot after i had completed the changing of the colours to make them stand out much more. i made the 'E' a little bit more bigger so i was then able to have it the same kind of size as what i had my other ones as. I also made sure that the colours for each letters all matched and where they didnt i decided to change it by following the same steps as above.



After making these changes i have decided to leave it as it was and make it my final piece.

Making of Shred

As i stated before Ow! music is launching six new radio stations later on this year; and asked me to create three different logo for one of there six radio station; the names of these six radio stations are; Lock, Pulse, Mixx, Buzz, shred and VIP; i picked the free radio stations which went by thenames of; Buzz, Shred and Pulse. Within this blog enter i will be creating the second logo out of the three this one is for the radio station which goes by the name of shred.to start of i opened a new document and made the page A4 as i wanted to allow myself room to make changes and to be refined to a small section. before i started to get the images and letter up on the screen i decided i would pick the three differnt colours which i would be using; i final came to the conclusion that i will be using ; Red, Yellow and Green.

As i wanted all of my logos to look like there from the same 'family' i decided that i would keep the font the same. therefore i would not need to go and look for a different font which would fit into the family. so again i decided i would use

the never writer font type and then add my own effects to the fonts by the stamp tool which would then lead my final piece of work to look like the piece which i planned.

As you can see

from this screen capture i have got a number of different layers, which i would be able to use and exprientmemnt with to see how i could maybe improve my idea from what it looks like on paper to what it looked like on the screen. In this screen shot i decided that i would want to click on the layer which is linked to the image which i behind the letters which make up the word sherd. now that i have all of the different layers when i click on a certain layer i will only be able to move, edit and delete the layer without making any changes to the other layers, which would then be able to stay the same.As i was already on the option to change and edit the explosion in the background. i thought i would be able to edit some of the colours in the layer style.



This screen shot involves a the layer style box, this box appears when you double click on the layer which you wish to edit. before i had the explosion in the background a green colour however i wanted to see what it would look like as a more metal like colour. so i decided to change it too see whether i would like it as much or not. however i decided that i would stick with the green colour as it brought the red and yellow more to life and would make the whole logo stand out more.

next i decided to add more of an effect to the 'S' at the beginning of shred. i wanted it be as eye catching as possible

so it would grab the target demographic of this radio station. over all by trying to make it stand out alot more i added bevel and emboss effect of contour and also stroke. This meant that i was then able to add a outer glow in a lighter shade of red than the colour inside of the 'S'

After looking at the i decided that i wasn't sure about the way the green over laid the bottom of the 'S' and covered the colour so i decided i would want the green too be behind the letters.

To make the green go behind the red i decided that i would drag the symbol layer to underneath the text layer for the 'S'. this would then allow the 'S' to be at the top of the green explosion. you can see this in the photo as the bottom of the 'S' has go s few yellow lines over, however i liked this effect as i thought it would tie in well with having the yellow font as well as the the yellow as a overlay.
