Semester Project 1

Creating a company from scratch coming up with a visual theme and designing their promotional material

  • creating the concept of a company from scratch
  • researching the target market
  • designing a logo
  • designing promotional material (printed)

For this project, I invented an etymology podcast called “Behind the Word” a show which presents the origins of words through storytelling and interviews. I was inspired by shows such as “Wireless nights” by Jarvis Cocker and “This american life”.

The target market of the podcast would be millenials and GenZ listeners.

The podcast would be friendly and inspire curiosity.

For the main logo I designed a hand holding a torch lighting up the title of the podcast, symbolising discovery. I also used public domain newspapers for background of images.

In this project I designed:

  • A logo
  • Bookmark
  • Poster
  • Rollerbanner
  • Brochure
  • Packaging tape
  • Stickers
  • Letter
  • Envelope

What I have learnt from this experience

This was a very long and complex project. I had to create a design theme that was easy to replicate and instantly recognisable. I gained new skills in Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. I also gained experience in researching target markets and learnt a lot about designing products for print.
