Design and Layout Week 15 PM

Next week we are starting a new assignment. It feeds off the logos you just created.

Pick your favorite logo: Typographic or Descriptive. You only need to pick one. If you pick your Descriptive one, you can make it into a Symbolic one. That's up to you. You are making a Stationery Set for that company. 

In a Stationery Set you will be creating:

  1. A 2 Sided Business Card 3.5" x 2" or 2" x 3.5"

    A Business Card is for each worker to have. It's personal to each person. It needs a company logo, or version of it | The company's name if it's not in the logo | The person's name (make one up that seems legit | The person's title (Example: Manager or Communication Specialist) | Phone Number with Extension (Example: Mine is 402.898.1000 x211) | Fax Number if the place is big | Person's Email tied to the company (Example: Mine is alissa_a@creativecenter.edu | Web address (Example: creativecenter.edu) | Mailing address

  2. Business Envelope - 9.5" x 4.125"

    An Envelope isn't for one specific person, it's for everyone in the office to use. It's the least designed item in a Stationery Set. It just needs at the top left hand corner the company's logo, or name | Sometimes a web address | Mailing address

  3. Letterhead - 8.5" x 11

    A Letterhead isn't for one specific person, it's for everyone in the office to use. It's primary goal is to put it through a printer to add a letter, memo, documentation on it. Don't over design it! It needs the company logo, or version of it | The company's name if it's not in the logo | Phone Number | Fax Number if the place is big | Email not tied to one person in the company (Example: info@creativecenter.edu | Web address (Example: creativecenter.edu) | Mailing address

All the items should be connected look wise to one another. 

This is the assignment. It has a layout of what things need to be done, and when. This is the last main assignment, for this class. Next week you will be starting with thumbnails, for each thing. On the thumbnail page I want your company's information (as much as you can find: Example address, phone number, email address, and so on). If you can't find information on your company look up a similar one, and use information for that company instead. Shift things to make it seem as though it's your company. For instance if you are doing something for a company called Compound Bikes, and can't find ANYTHING look up another bike company like Gorgonio Bike Company. Instead of gorgonio.com it will be compoundbikes.com. Instead of sam_g@gorgonio.com for an email it will be sam_g@compoundbikes.com, and so on. 

Here's some examples:

Source *Note: You do not need a letter on the letterhead. That will be left blank.







Source *Note you can design a back side to a letterhead. That's what they've done here. 









Source *Note the address on the envelope would be moved up! The US postal system likes the bottom of the envelope to be clear.
