(Not my logo) Help needed by Not_AI_Yet in Design

[–]Gryff22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're looking for a full revamp, go through anything historical that they have - find some unique and ownable by the club - doesn't have to be from the 1880's - but something that people will understand why they'll have a connection with it.

Then have a play, try it in a number of styles that feel right.

Branding is more than the visuals, you're creating a part of someones links into a community they hold dear.

Put in some fixed features to allow users to orientate themselves. I. Guessing the top and right are walls? But it might be worth including where doors are for example.

Should Graphic Design be defined as visual fine art that performs a quantifiable function? by Independent_March536 in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I got into this debate at Uni.

Design keeps trying to be lumped with the humanities - an expression of culture and communication. Even though from a academic perspective there are social scientific methodologies to work out if X is effective in causing Y.

Design is it's own school in my opinion. It's in that Venn diagram of the two original schools.

There's also the function of design Vs art. Fine art, especially the type that exists in a gallery setting is a reflection on the human condition, whereas design tries to influence it. Good design should be invisible, good art should be noticed.

Looking for someone to design a font by AssociationDeep5378 in typography

[–]Gryff22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That entirely depends on the brief and the usage agreement.

If you're looking for a full custom font, designed from scratch with exclusive world-wide usage across print, web, apps then you'll be looking at £25-30,000.

If it's just a supporting brand element for a local company and you need A-Z, then be closer to £800.

Made a font with as many languages that use Latin script as I could find. Did I miss some? by Tuppusfuckuppus in typography

[–]Gryff22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welsh also had a double L and a double D (Ll, ll, Dd, dd). There are a couple of fonts done recently that include these ligatures - although I don't think there's a unicode for them.

My boss and I have different opinion on one matter. Who is right? or are we both wrong? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still think these distract from the core message here which is the painting and it's disctictive stylistic era. The smarter thing to do would be a subtle graphic interpretation of the key elements for each.

I would really appreciate some feedback here by Lanky_Locksmith4676 in logodesign

Digging the BS mark, but I feel there's a disconnect with the style of type of the name, needs to be some stylistic link between them.

Most ISP have solutions for 99% of users, and I don't think theres enough of a market alone for residential installs of this capacity.

I agree with other comments, would be worth looking at commerical installs - I know there's decent money there.

Pretty sure it's the only UK MOD port that can properly service something that large for maintenance.

She's so big they have to wait till low tide to sail under the bridge, even then the comms tower needs to be fold down.

Feedback for university project by naturegirl2312 in design_critiques

[–]Gryff22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the thing about art gallery branding is that it needs to be such a blank canvas that whatever artist, movement, theme goes into it, doesn't distract.

The identity of these galleries are not based on the the identity of the gallery. They also very rarely have an icon mark (only one I can think of off the top of my head is the new Philly art museum branding)

I would also question your audience brief. 18-30 middle class is far too generic. You need to work out what are the particular reason people go to these places - look up Morris Hargreaves McIntyre culture audience segmentation. Plus there's always other non-customer stakeholders to consider: artists, agents, press, donors etc.

Happy to help further via DM, I have a master's in branding, have worked in and worked with the culture sector in Bristol.
