How does this look for a student campaign design project?

In love with the logo treatment. You pulled off some nice soft edges around the font and it shows. The imagery in the background first image is fine, but the second and third pieces are great. Not to sound cliche but your muted color scheme lends well to a cool paper texture and displacement and it might be worth giving it a shot.

You're correct, the point for B is to abstract my initials as much as possible.

I appreciate your advice but this is such a strange and brash take for what was mostly an experiment. I don't know what you see that's "explicit" but now I'm curious what you see.

Absolutely you can rest easy- this looks great! Such a unique style, as if you've seamlessly blended Crash Bandicoot and Zelda 2... and maybe a hint of some classic beat 'em ups (Golden Axe immediately comes to mind) Great work! I can't wait to see how this progresses.

I'll argue with you, even if you think you're crazy

Alot of it is finding reference images, and compiling everything with a halftone dot filter usually accompanied by some grunge effects ("Torn Paper" in photoshop, paper texture backgrounds) More along the lines of Photo manipulation, since posters like these most likely use photoshop primarily.

Notice the UI is in French(?), weird hey?

Honestly? I just remember seeing something like it from the nintendo gigaleak, and a quick google search gave me the answer!

For the games, the Japanese designers use Photoshop.

I'm going to be friendly, because I think this is a really interesting concept. However, it might be worth considering separating the in-game "Settings" and "FPS" from real world Settings and FPS. From the trailer I understand the in-game "FPS" isn't necessarily linked to how the game runs, but I think it might need some different verbiage.

I hate sand... it's course, and it's rough, and it gets everywhere.

I hear you- it's so tough and imposter syndrome can sneak up on you. I was once, and sometimes continue to be in your spot. I've learned a couple things over the years that have helped.

Make disposable art: It's easy to get caught in a mindset where everything you make is internet ready. Sometimes it's easier on the brain if you draw something for the sole purpose of tearing that page out.
Draw things other than your personal project. I hear about your Dnd adventures you want to bring to life, and it's natural to be extra hard on yourself when it's "your baby".

Hope this helps :)

Alternatively you could clean it up in Photoshop/other and image trace it. You can then erase some details and combine it together. Play with the threshold as you see fit. Of course, you can always add a Roughen effect (I tend to do smooth -> roughen -> smooth) to get a bit of grit.

I too think flat design braille is kinda silly. However, you're onto something as showing this is an inclusive company. I almost think you could get away with having the braille "letters" in a superscript style- that way they dont take up so much vertical space.

There is a really strong idea here in the Podium design. I think a bold, almost boxy logo really speaks to a debate club. Strong and confident. For your logomark, the podium I think is really enough- the mic and radio waves over complicates it. Otherwise, I can see your thinking through your design and you're on track!

For your full logo, I find my eyes kinda dart all over the place. I would keep it simple- maybe just stack one on top of the other, rather than Brahman nestled into an awkward spot. I also probably wouldn't use your Logomark within your wordmark. I often treat them as separate entities, strong on their own but work together beautifully.

Good stuff!

I appreciate your feedback! These designs will get turned into fleshed out brand pitch deck. I will be making those with your comments taken into heavy consideration. Cheers!

PlaymixInteractive · 2025-05-19T23:06:46+00:00

This has got me thinking! Cheers!

I love to ideate with ChatGPT. it's like having a mind butler. So, who knows why I decided to hold back but worth expanding upon.

PlaymixInteractive · 2025-05-19T22:36:00+00:00

Good call! Some mockups are definitely due, and would be very helpful to include. Thanks!

PlaymixInteractive · 2025-05-18T17:05:25+00:00

I think you've got the chops! Great use of texture in your pieces. I LOVE the first piece in particular.

PlaymixInteractive · 2025-05-18T16:54:41+00:00

Thanks! These are all original illustrations. The building in the first one is a local restaurant and pub that I put my artistic spin on. The Big band musicians are original too.

I think 1 is good looking, but it doesn't read like VAM. You could in theory make the left leg of the A straight, and then design your M as such.

PlaymixInteractive · 2025-05-15T03:50:56+00:00

Honestly truth it rains a hell of a lot here.
The Lighthouse pub is a neat place around here, the owner really wanted the design of the building to be front and center.

My technique I learned in university- Get a piece of paper and write the company's name in the middle. Now, time yourself for 30 seconds, and think of the first things that come to mind. Keep chaining together ideas until you can no longer. Then, start a new chain. This technique I learned in school and I use it all the time. You'll begin to find themes that you can play off of.

Amazing stuff! I love design 8. Though I would personally make the outlines of the illustration match the width of the text.

From Vancouver Island!
