——————————————-<\/p>\n

As an advertising design graduate, my speciality is in the psychology behind brands, rather than the artistic side. I took part in the Art for Graphic Design course in an attempt to both learn and develop some artistic skills, and to explore typographic design. I was just beginning the branding part of the course when the brief for Redlands landed on my desk in work.<\/p>\n

The brief was fairly straightforward \u2013 to create a brand identity for a local estate and letting agents. The client wanted an identity that made the company look well established and knowledgeable, but without looking dated. With this in mind, I began by investigating the target audience to find out what qualities they were looking for in an estate and letting agents. Many people said that they were looking for businesses that seemed \u201ceducated and established but not dated and most importantly, friendly\u201d.\u00a0I then looked at fonts styles to see if there was anything that could bring together the client\u2019s needs with that of the customer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the typography section in the course material, I knew that different fonts could create different emotions, so after some research into fonts and competitor’s logos, I chose to use a historical looking sans serif font as it evokes feelings of tradition and heritage, and paired it with a motif in a deep red colour. I then came up with the tagline of \u201cbringing you home\u201d as it added a personal touch to the business \u2013 suggesting that they were selling more than just a house. By using a handwritten font, it added a personal touch and makes the company appear more approachable.<\/p>\n

The logo design was so popular with the client, they asked me to create matching stationery and For Sale signs, which are now in use in the area!<\/p>\n
