Magazine Advertisment

 
 
In this assignment, we had to create an advertisment for our magazine.  Starting off, we had to create the template we were going to use for it.  I decided to go with a shoe advertisment.  And I carried on the idea of using the company I made, and making the add for a shoe collection from the store.

Magazine Cover



In this project, we had to create a magazine cover.  We had to start by drawing three sketches from different magazines.  Then we choose which on we liked and then create a magazine using the template.

Identity Standards

 
 
 
 
 
 
Identity Standards
 
 
 
 
Introduction
            The purpose of this document is for showing the proper use of the logo, the proper colors, the fonts to use, what the bad uses of the logo are, and what the goods uses are.  It also shows how the logo is used on cards, letterheads, and envelopes.  This logo is specifically for the TB Boutique.  And it follows standards if the logo is to be re-used. 
 
 
Bad Use
To prevent any problems, please reframe from changing the logo in any way other those specified in the Good Use section.  The following is a list of things not to do:
 
 
Do not add background color behind the image if on a white background

 




 
 
Do not rotate the image
 

Do not reposition the logo
 

Good Use of logo

 
There are specifically ways for the logo to be used to prevent any confusion or mishaps.  It is in the best interest to follow the proper use of the logo.

The proper way to use the logo is to have the image (in its original colors) follow by the text saying TB Boutique in the font Impact, size 36.If the logo needs the colors switched, it can be switched into a black and white color scale instead of the original colors with the font as Gloucester MT Extra Condensed, size 36.



 


 

 
 
 
 
 
Cards, etc.
            To prevent any fraud or any other problems, there is specified way to use or reprint any of the company’s cards, letterheads, and envelopes.  Any change to format other than the following is not proper use of the logo.

  
                                                                            



 
    
Typography
There are only a few fonts that can be used for the logo unless the company is contacted and the font is approved.For the logo the proper font is Impact, size 36 for the logo itself.Gloucester MT Extra Condensed, size 36 can be also used if it is used in the right way (refer to the Good Use of Logo section).
 
Colors
For TB Boutique, specific colors have been assigned for the logo.  Please reframe from changing the logo’s color in any way except for the colors it should be.

 
 
 
 
 The only other color palette that can be used for the logo is:  
 
 
 
 



Conclusion
So in other words, reframe from editing our company’s logo. The logo is specifically used for TB Boutique, not for any other purpose. It is for our products which our company took pride in making for the public. Our logo is put onto only the products we make, and we would like it to stay that way. But if it is to be changed in any sort of way, it has to follow our instruction for changes.  Any misuse of the logo can cause trouble and confusion for our company.  So reframe from doing so.

TB Boutique




After finally creating our logo on paint.net, we  moved on to making a buisness using our logo.  After we had an idea of what our buisness was going to be, we made a buisness card, a letterhead, and a envelope using our logo on it. We had to find a way to do that, while still using the logo we had created.

Logo

For our assignment, we had to create a logo using our intials.  We started out with just sketching out ideas out first.  Then we had to choose which one we liked better.  Finally, we made our logo on paint.net.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is a combination of images, words and ideas that give information to an audience.  Many jobs have graphic design combined in it.   And without graphic design, we wouldn't have the things we have.  Jobs that  graphic design in them include: Creative/Art Director, Layout Artist, Brand Identify Desgin, Logo Designers, Flash Designer, Illlustrator, Techinical Illustrator, Photo Editing, Multimedia Designer, Photographer, Prepress Techinician, and Web Designer.  So Graphic Design gives a layout to much of the jobs in the world.  Without it, we wouldn't have some of the brand names images or logos we have today.  Graphic Design plays a huge part in the world.
