    Snŏbb Logo Design

    Posted: October 17th, 2009 | Author: Erin E. Sullivan | Filed under: Illustrator, Logo Design, Print Design, School Work, Typography | 2 Comments »

    For my Advanced Graphic Design class I am directing a branding project of a made up wine company in which I have named “Snŏbb”. This project involves logo design, package design, and a web site. I am currently finishing up the logo, but I need a designer’s anal perspective on which is the better of the two I am presenting.

    I am a fan of wooden furniture. I am also a fan of beer. I recently purchased a new, wooden desk for myself because the previous one I had was falling apart after being moved to at least three different locations within the four years I have had it. With having a new item comes my O.C.D. of making sure it is well maintained. One way to help maintain the quality of a wooden desk is by using a coaster for my beverages. I know you can prevent things from happening all together just by simply not having food or beverages on or near the desk, but I like to have my coffee/tea/water/orange juice/beer while designing. It satisfies my thirst and my mood all together. Since I do not have any coasters lying around my apartment, I figured I would actually do some arts & crafts and make one myself by using my favorite can of beer! Read the rest of this entry »
