Dandy-Lion: (Logo Design is rather tricky)


On tuesday I met with Aisha who is a third year student on the BA Fashion Course at AUCB. I replied to an e-mail she sent out over the weekend requesting help with a logo design for a magazine. Although i've never done logo design before, i felt i could relate to the influences and themes she mentioned in her message so thought it was worth a go! I sent her a link to my blog and she showed me a lot of her research. I was given a rough outline of what she wanted, which included the image of the dandelion within the text. It was also mentioned that she liked my more recent pieces of work using marbling inks. This is my first image/idea and theres definitely a lot of work left to do. I think the end result needs to focus more on hand crafted aspects, be more feminine and also have more emphasis on the text itself. I also need to get more specific measurements for the logo itself as I am using Photoshop opposed to illustrator.
