Freudentisch Fünf
(There's nothing like a wake-up call that your flash skills are getting rusty.) This is a short animation to show how the logo would look (for example) at the end of a commercial, or as part of a flash banner for a website.
Glo Container Shapes
So I kinda explained this earlier in the first post when dealing with the logos but working with container shapes fits almost exactly with the idea of my logo. With Jay an idea for Glo came up. It was based on the prestige or "street cred" that comes with graffiti or "tagging." But if this recognition could still come with an almost less rebellious or destructive sort of risk. The name of intellectual tagging was born. Intellectual tagging in theory is like making "your mark" but not by painting or destroying others' property. For example you could use a projector to shoot your tag onto your tagged area and then take a picture. This leads into the reason for the large variety of container shapes. It forces the company and divisions therein to have some structure by only being able to use the "swirl g" but still letting them have the freedom with the container shape, which mimics the freedom that many urban underground athletes and arts desire.
fullgive (day 22)

Here are album covers from some of the artists that my brother and I often listen to while we are working in the Fullgive studio (my brother's bedroom). I have found that the music that I listen to while I am working often shows its face in the final product, so these albums have had a direct affect on what Fullgive is today. It makes sense that the music that helps to drive the design of Fullgive also be a part of the atmosphere where it is being sold.
imagery

the only imagery that glo uses is the bottle for the energy drink and the heart beat line that you see in the logo. i put an example of how it works with the logo, on the bottle, and how it can be used in advertisements. the size ratio shown in the examples are how the imagery will always appear in relation to the logo the bottle is the only type of packaging this drink uses. if additional images are needed in the future, they may be added and an image library would be necessary. the colors of the line may change when off of the bottle, but it will always be gray when it appears on the bottle.
Return of the Cello
Today I wanted to do something different. Ebiti dellaudi recte etus adipsap ernatem eaquam consequas as debist laccabo rehenis essum, omnieni molorest, quas aut et de estis sa esti qui optia comnis dolestem net ma dic te verum erecatquo essi bla incillit volorep erchil is as quide plame quias eictem quia suscien ihilliquia volest doluptam comnietur.
....Is anyone reading this? I didn't think so. But anyway I wanted to get away from the stuff I've done this past week. (YAWN) I was thinking if I had to include imagery it would most likely have something to do with cellos. I'm slightly obsessed with them if you haven't guessed by now.
I've already done the Mr. Bow and Celli so I was thinking that music can be fun, inspiring, energizing, haunting, and beautiful while at the same time melancholy.

Freudentisch Vier

I've been focusing specifically on the tablepet side of freudentisch for this project. The former post mentioned that ITC Serif Gothic Std was the logo typeface, and that was true. As for the secondary aspect of tablepet, that is what should be set in Helvetica Neue. Still working on the tagline, but I figure it would advertise in a format similar to one of these two set-ups
Taglines & Modifying Copy
The best offence is a good defence!

So i hadn't really thought of a tag line but my mom had and she thought of the "get away" one when i asked her what she thought of when she heard the company name. I liked it but i think for my contemporary furniture i liked the "new" one. I think i may use both but the first is the primary tag line. i put it in franklin gothic because i am working on my pc and don't have futura at the moment but that will be the typeface.

Taglines and Copy
taglines

The primary tagline is "come alive." It is set in Gill Sans Light. This tagline appears with the logo. The secondary tagline is "Shake up your nightlife." It is in Gill Sans Regular. This tagline does not appear next to the logo and is used for advertisements. There is an example of how "come alive" is in its size relation to the logo and includes the copyright symbol.

kit: typography
Typeface is limited to Minion Pro Regular in pt. sizes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.
Inked words should be created with brush and india ink. When inking, place emphasis on ascenders, descenders, the beginning and ends of the words to create opportunities for alignment with the rest of the phrase.
Special care should be taken when considering alignment and proportions. Note the red alignment guides on the examples.
When inking and setting phrases, type sizes should be based on inflections used when speaking. For example, "Design is a relationship between form and content." Say it out loud- it seems natural for the emphasis to be on "form" foremost, "and content", with equal emphasis on the beginning of the phrase. Therefore, "form" should be inked, with the other pieces of the sentence set in appropriate sizes to accompany.

Day 21
As this is a custom-made typeface, there aren't any other variations, but the thought of line weight was put into consideration. The line weight was created to mimic the flow of water. All the type but the "t" is aligned on the same baseline, with the "t" lining up with the "s" ascender and extends below the baseline. This should always be applied.
Day: Type
Freudentisch Drei

The logo typeface is to be used only for the logo, never for any other purpose. Logo is not to be set in type other than ITC Serif Gothic Std. The two heaviest weights, ITC Serif Gothic Std Heavy and ITC Serif Gothic Std Black are not to be used under any circumstance. Likewise, in the secondary type choice, the condensed versions of Helvetica Neue are not to be used for any reason. For most display purposes the regular weight for either font should be adequate.
(Seems like Helvetica Neue is a pretty popular choice.)
FullGive (day 20)

Along with the idea that Fullgive is able to handle multiple logos and colors the brand is also functional with a wide array of typefaces as well, through the use of hand illustrated, written, stamped, and etc. When it comes to the world of print Helvetica Neue is one a suitable font for the wide variety of moods and styles that Fullgive can evoke.

Glo Typography

Well the main typeface is one that I created and that will be used for most of the main "title" items that Glo will be involved in. The secondary is a kinda cool squarish one that will fit with the more professional side of Glo. Like said in one of my previous posts this week, my idea of Glo is now going to be a kind of urban underground sports lifestyle and this should open the Glo Style to an aspect of freedom. Even though these are the typefaces that I have shown, my idea is the art and type of Glo will be pretty unrestricted in the creating of brands or divisions of the company, but at the same time on the more professional-business side this will be the required typeface for brandings. I hope I spelled everything right haha, and I hope you all like!
Typographic Selection
Typography Selection
My typography selection is pretty straight forward. The ta was drawn by hand and the type beneath it is hypatia sans regular.
There are no bold options so I beefed up the stroke a little to give
it a bold feel. I like the clean simple look of it and it doesn't scream.
It sits quietly at the bottom. I gave some examples of how it should
and should not be used as well as some color options...and there you have it.
