Mickey Duzyj illustrator case study

Here is a work of art done by Mickey Duzyj, I love this idea as not only is the beast scary but it has three blood thirsty heads. The colour scheme I love as well as it is made up of only four colours. I decided to try an rectorate two of the heads with the time that I had. I felt as though I did a good job on the first head but the left head was a little rushed.

APP LOGO ANALYSIS

The five things I learned from app logo analysis 1. Simplicity is the main thing I have learnt to having a successful app logo. By over cluttering a logo can just make it look messy and un appealing against a simple crisp vector logo.

2. framing is something that is included in a lot of the well known logos. it gives the pictures a 3D effect and makes them stand out to those that don’t have a boarder.

3. By using complimentary colors this goes well with a two colour way system and is attracted well to the eye.

4. A focal point for a logo is key! either using bold text or a big image of a main character within the game or implementing a mechanic gives the buyer an idea of what the games about.

5. By using leading lines and gradients of colour to represent light, this can be another great way to lead the eye to a focal point within an app logo. some of the most downloaded apps use this simple technique.

IPhone mock upIn this mock up I thought about what our audience would have on there device. I began thinking about what main Apps they would use just for social and media so naturally I included:• YouTube• Facebook • Twitter• Snapchat• Skype • InstagramI only included two games as I believe that my target audience are casual gamers and would only really play these games or similar ones:• Angry Birds• Flappy Bird

Logo design feedbacks

I decided to use this idea however not the exact design. I believed that a close up of the pig would be more interesting, also I never included the monocle so it would not be anything special but just a pig. I then began work on a new concept. Sketching out new ideas.

Brief Logo Design Process

Concepts… Design Sketch

Final App logo design process

I began by making a few concept sketches and planning the layout of the design. I decided eventually that have the whole face of the pig would be too complicated and would require great detail so I decided that I would create the Logo with the Monocle and the left eye as the focus point. I also knew that I would want to have half the nose and a faint smile to show a glimmer of expression.

After carefully creating an even sided square I began the design in pencil. Then I went over the design with a black marker.

I then took my design and scanned it into a computer and had it as a digital format. I took the scan and opened it in Photoshop and began experimenting with different colours of pink until I found the right look for his skin and nose I also made the monocle have some reflection of sorts for realism.

Next I used the brush tool in Photoshop and started to go over in black the outline’s of everything including the pupil. I then used the shape tool (Ellipse) and created a thick circle around the Monocle so that it looked smooth.

After all this I added some shading to give some depth, mainly under the monocle and nose. After I felt it was nearly complete I then used a normal App logo template and surrounded my image with it.

Final App logo Design

I landed on this design…It includes the monocle and does not show the full face.

This is an abstract design.

App logo on the Store design

Based on feedback I gotI was happy with this designEspecially when I put it in a App store design form.The feedback I got was mainly‘eye catching’ and ‘looks professional’

T-shirt design mock ups

Design 1: I chose to have just the text and a string coming out of one of the ‘O’s to symbolise a monocle, although it just looked to plan and was not in that much of the theme of the game. I then decided to add the pink as that is the main colour of the game and it stood out more..

Design 2: This design is very mainstream and is pretty much a game screen shot, I prefer this design as the image is big and stands out. This design could also attract random people who would be curios as to what the content of the design is.

Final T-shirt Design

Here is my Final T-shirt design I liked the first design I did as it had a sense of movement and actionso I decided to keep that style but simplify it and add the lines to make It look more like he is in the air.
