Logo Research

For my logo, I want to use Mystic Grill, the fictional restaurant from the vampire diaries.

Poster Reseach

I have decided the movie I want to use is Toy Story, the posters are always so happy and I feel like I can use the characters well to create something different.

Poster Research

I did some initial research for posters after I decided I wanted to base it on Disney. One pattern that I noticed is that the themes are really always happy and upbeat so I feel like I want to completely reverse this convention and bring out a darker side to Disney. I want to take a movie and completely reverse its themes. I'm going to do some more research and decide what movie I want to use.

Looking at Fonts and Layouts

We were given a set phrase and information that we had to organise using alignment and symmetry.

I started by coming up with this design, I wanted to use the colour gold as the word 'Golden' seemed key however with a white background, it just didn't stand out, the second I converted the background to back, it looked instantly better. Then obvious choice for the second colour was white as nothing else matched the gold or stood out enough from the black. This is my finished result:

After looking at this, I thought I would work on another example that looks more at using alignment and grids and focusing on the technical aspects rather than looking at colour and aesthetics. Below you can see what the end result was. Using the grid mode on Photoshop, I was able to add my text and align it so that when the grid mode is removed, it looks as though there is an invisible line running down the left hand side.
