Logo development


Above is my logo from first year but I have stripped it back without the colour because I realised that less is more, and that the black would go with everything. Although I like my logo like this I think it does look a bit plain and needs something else. 


I experimented with colour first, using one block colour and then using a gradient, I like them both however I need the logo to adapt with all of my work and I don't think I can select just one colour to define me as a person. 

After experimenting with colour I then wanted to experiment with pattern, a simple pattern that works when the logo is small and large. I used half tone dotts for one side of the A and i really like how it has worked. 


I experimented with colour and pattern and felt like it was too much, so I think I am just going to stick with the black and white pattern. 


It works well on social medias, I think I am going to use this logo from now on, it works better with no colour as it can be adapted to everywhere it is placed and the half tone dotts make it look less boring.

Cheese Society- Eat and Greet

The Eat and Greet is the first event of the final event of myself and Hollie running the Cheese Society. The first event of the year is aimed at first years joining the uni and cheese fans from previous years. 

The first event people bring there own cheese as conversation starters as the event is titled 'eat and greet'. To promote the event I created a poster to put up around uni, advertised it at the freshers fair and promoted it as an event on Facebook inviting people. 





Here is the poster, I made it using a collage technique, keeping it fun with cheese clouds and the cow shouting about the event. 

We managed to book Friends of Ham a cheese, meat and wine specialist in Leeds for the event, booking and contacting Friends of Ham went smoothly and they were excited to have the cheese society in. 








The event was a success, people came through the advertising as we didn't know many people there (which is what we wanted). We sold 7 tote bags with memberships at £5 which makes up for the cheese brought. I am really happy with the way the event went, people enjoyed the night we gained good feedback.
