Advertisement Project Progress

Step Three: Unfortunately, Teavana's logo isn't on Brands of the World, but this image from their home site should be ok.

I'm finding a lot of images I think would work well for my theme, now it's a matter of designing the composition and narrowing down to just what I need.

Almost forgot to upload the final versions of my logos.

As my personal stamp for the rest of the semester, I've picked my black text on red background textual logo.

Project Two-Step One

Okay, if I had to prioritize the companies I picked last night, it would be:
1) Teavana
2) KitchenAid
3) Pixar

After talking about it in class just now, I'm really leaning to Teavana.  I think I've made my decision!  Yay!
So, now that I've got that out of the way, I want to work out a plan for step two so that I don't waste time just flipping through magazines hoping for something I like.  What really interested me was the idea of using some of the designs and textures from the merchandise in the ad, although I also like the "tea lifestyle" aesthetic too.  I plan on spending today looking at Teavana's ads to get a little inspiration.
OOOH!  Just had an idea, want to write it down: maybe a tea set that is sort of a window into other worlds?  To evoke that meditative feeling you can get drinking a good cup of tea.  Also I just love tea sets.

Three Companies

So, trying to think of three companies I would like to do advertisements for.  I'm thinking: KitchenAid, Teavana, and Pixar.  I don't know why those are the three companies I can think of that I like.  Maybe I'll change my mind in class...

I keep having trouble getting onto the class blog, so I'm just putting a link on mine that I can always get to.

Logos

Here are my logos for class.  I feel ok about them, but I really want to hear some criticism, because I know they can be better!  (NOTE: I don't have Adobe Illustrator and couldn't get on campus over the break, so I used Inkscape instead.  Hey, it's almost as good and it's FREE!)
