181 - graduate show brand

I was lucky enough to brand our final year show - you can see the developments of the brand if you go to www.1-8-1.blogspot.com or if you scroll through my older posts....

Here is a select few of the final designs....

All in all, this was such a great project to run alongside my Coexist project - I got to experience preparing artwork for large scale print jobs, collaberate with the graduate show committee and be part of a great year of visual communicators.

Coexist - brand identity

I've had to hold back on this one, but now I'm satisfied with the new and live Coexist identity.....

Coexist are an ethically and sustainable-minded organisation based in Stokes Croft, Bristol’s ‘Cultural Quarter’. They provide office and studio spaces for like-minded organisations and independent creatives. They also run a range of workshops for the local community (such as creative writing, design and music classes) and put on various events in their venue space.

Their office block is based in Stokes Croft, a culturally diverse and creatively rich area of Bristol. The area is immersed in cutting edge Street Art and the landscape is changing all the time. It is often seen as an area of decline to the outside eye, but the area is full of creatives and great community spirit.

Coexist work closely with the PRSC (The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft) and promote the creative identity of the area. Often the council make decisions that are not right for the area or the local people – the PRSC helps local people feel part of the local community.

In essence this project is all about the brand idea and what it means to Coexist and their surrounding community. Coexist want to communicate energy, creativity, youth, optimism and most importantly, community spirit.

Coexist is constantly growing and its surrounding environment is constantly changing so the brand needs to be dynamic and responsive to change.

Above are guidelines I have taken from my brand book for Coexist - the brand has been applied to a range of applications ....

Giant Wayfinding signs - based on perspective

Working on my final project, I'm starting to consider signage systems for interiors and exteriors...- this is a great example of how signs become part of the environment and also how they are dependent on the user understanding them. ... This is work by Axel Peemoeller (check out his website, its really fun!) and it features in the Eureka Tower car park in Melbourne. The letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing in the exact right position ....as you move, the letters become distorted .
