School of Creative Industries: Final Stationary

To create the stationary for the School of Creative Industries identity, I had to use InDesign which I was a bit apprehensive about since I'd never really used it before. However once I had set the template up I found it easier than I thought it would be which raised my confidence a bit.

We had to design a business card, compliments slip and letterhead. Once the templates were set up I decided to just do a small banner design in Illustrator to go with the orange logo idea I had:

I thought it would be handy to use on the stationary as a border or something.

I also began to play around with possible layouts for business cards:

I quite liked how the border looked as I thought it was also a nice touch that it was the same sort of style as the motif of the logo.

 This image shows my first final design for the orange logo. For my finalised idea I thought the little border I created didn't really go with it and looked a bit too much, so I decided to get rid of it and I quite like how it looks a bit simpler and cleaner without it. I think the white space makes it look very fresh too.

For my second final idea I decided to stick to the same layout as the orange logo idea so that they were easier to compare in terms of colour and logo design. Again I like the white space as it makes it look clean and fresh. Overall I was pretty pleased with how these designs turned out especially since I had some difficulty at the beginning with being so stuck on what to design!
