First 2D lesson back in school (yay!), we were tasked to come up with some designs based on our names. A typographic, abstract and a conceptual design. Here is some sketches and doodles on my brainstorming process:
This in class activity was pretty interesting, I felt like I was designing my own identity/logo. I have then decided on the following designs:
TYPOGRAPHY
My general concept is minimal design, hence I have decided to simply use my own handwriting. Yes, I am a fan of Sans Serif and Caps. As you can see, I have a pretty bad handwriting so I have decided to go digital for the next few designs.
ABSTRACT
This digital design is derived from converting my name “Justin” into hexadecimals: 4a757374696e. I chose to use hexadecimals because I do a little programming as a hobby.
I have then split them into #4a7573 and #74696e which gives me those colours. I have also decided to use circles as a representation of eyes.
This design is based on hex colours so they are in RGB. I totally forgot that printing is in CMYK, so this design will not really work.
CONCEPTUAL
This will be the design I have settled for to be used as my nametag.
For this design, I have actually used Illustrator to draft out the design and used a machine to do the paper cuts. So its basically a digital back to traditional medium.
My surname Cho is somewhat from a Korean origin (err nope I’m not Korean) so here is the letter CHO in Korean. I have incorporated it into my name as when it is rotated in +90 degrees, it seems like the letters “IN“. Got this inspiration from the KOI logo.
