Describe what it is: This is a logo for Windex with a Victorian style to it. I chose just to do the logo name for this style and I added a decorative seal/border around it to make it feel more Victorian.
Describe your concept behind the design: The concept behind this Victorian logo for Windex was to use a decorative border to enclose the product name, which is in a very loopy, fancy writing. I didn't go with the super cramped style, because I liked this more. I think the frills and fanciness of it fits really well with the Victorian style.
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: The style is very fancy and kind of feminine looking. The typography is the same way, very feminine, fancy, loopy, but isn't the easiest to read (the SC in SC Johnson is harder to read). This relates to history because it is using an older style with a modern product. I am using close to the same typography that was used during that era and the border looks like it could have came straight from the time period.
Describe what it is: This is a Windex bottle that I created that has a Art Nouveau feel to it. The bottle is meant to look like a female form and also has the "spaghetti" looking hair.
Describe your concept behind the design: I wanted to make a Windex bottle look like a woman. I also wanted to tie in the hair, because hair seemed to be a big thing with Art Nouveau. Even though the woman doesn't have a face or any real features, you can still tell it's a woman. I kept the same colors that Windex uses, but I did change the font to look more handwritten and organic looking.
Discuss the style of the design & typography, how it relates to history: This relates to what we have learned in class because it emphasizes the female form, has wispy, "spaghetti" hair, and uses close to the same typography used during the Art Nouveau era. I took a modern object and made it show off the female form.
Ha ha, you were really creative in your second design, but stayed very close to the style. Really an awesome job. Your first design is beautiful but when taking this into illustrator or photoshop make sure that you line up the center text correctly. The second design is VERY creative. I love the flow of the hair, and that you tried to give the bottle a womanly shape. I'd almost push it further and make it more curvy and less windex like. You could make the label on the bottle her dress and have it like a robe - which is what I see a lot in that style. Awesome sketches, the coloring helped a lot to push your idea further!
I'm a sophomore that just switched my major to graphic design and I still have two minors in business and economics. Haven't really decided what I'm going to be doing with my major and minors, but hopefully soon I'll figure it out and be able to make a career out of it.
