Folder designs

  I found another website that can help me get more ideas to improve my folder design. So far I have made a lot of major changes today on the folder overall. I changed the pictures around and found a perfect image that represents Osaka the most in my company. This folder design for example has a lot of though put into the design. The designer carefully selected a color palette for the design and the red and orange make the folder look sophisticated. I love the glossy details the little pictures are on the folder and I feel the design makes the folder unique and that is something I know I want my folder to have. I want my packet to represent what exactly my company stands for, and I feel I have the right pictures this time around.

             I found this Las Vegas Design Company that I found interesting online when research more ideas for my packet. There a printing and design company that offers many design services to the public. This folder design is a lot more simpler and it  pictures uses to create  the image of the branding. Some companies use this for their branding and marketing of their brand. This folder is similar to what I am doing for my Osaka Tourism folder by using pictures to capture what Osaka Tourism is all about. I want my packet to have the right amount of branding into my folder and I have already done my flyer and business card to match the packet's theme.

Flyer Ideas

             I wanted to research more flyer ideas for Osaka Tourism. I know the image I am using is ferris wheel that I resized today to show more of Japan. I found a flyer on deviantart that I could use for reference when creating a flyer for my packet this flyer is for a music concert but I feel its a good example to use for my flyer and what to look for. The text has to flow a certain way to create that advertising and branding for that brand.  There is also call to action on the page as well which I must remember to have on my flyer because its important for branding. I like how this flyer has all these images blended into one page, the Photoshop was done well into this flyer. This flyer is a good example of the right amount of branding and typography into a design.

                          So today in class my thumbnails were do and I decided on the flyer and folder I will be designing for my packet. I know that my brand colors are still the same and I want to make my folder orange. I have got bigger photos this time for my folder as well. I am going to create a flyer and folder that would properly represent Osaka Tourism. I found another website to use for inspiration for ideas to design my packet.  The folder and packet for Weddings I found unique to look at. The whole design of this packet is well design overall, and I feel that  this way this packet folds out definitely makes the packet more interesting because the presentation is everything in design. This folder creates a good visual of the brand and what they stand for, this is something I want to keep in mind.   

Packet Ideas

  For my packet, I have decided I want to have something extra with my flyer and business card. So I researched more ideas today on other things to consider for Osaka Tourism. My company is targeting a younger traveling audience, and perhaps there is something I can use. The photos mean everything to the flyer as well as the folder.  I found this cool folder design, on interest. that really pops out. I love how neatly it folds up and opens. Its concise and clear the typography its nice on this folder.

Things to Consider

Color is everything.
The Typography has to work.
The Logo colors.

I wanted to find another different packet to use as an example for project 4. I know that packets have many extras when companies give them out at conventions or fair. The goal of this project I feel is to grow more awareness of my company Osaka Tourism by creating a well designed packet to spark interest into my brand. I found this tea bags on a website that companies use to promote their brand. One idea I have by this is I could make something extra in my packet that would make my packet stand out. I want something interesting in my packet so that way my packet would be kept and not thrown out, I'm thinking a magnet or a special sticker would be neat to include.

Good Packets

   I decided to look up good packets for more research for project 4,  when I stumbled upon a different approach to promo packets. This company online specializes in design and printing things for other companies. I found this fold cube design to be quite intriguing for any future customers, for example if I was using my own shape for the promo packets I would try this for Osaka Tourism, because I think something creative such as this could work. All the type nicely fits on the cube and is legible to read but the form keeps you reading it. The whole design is brilliant I feel for this packet because I know I wouldn't throw something like this out if it was in my mail. You want your packet to have something that will make it consumers want more from it and keep their interests at heart.

Promotional Packets

      So today we found out what project four is about and I am designing a folder with a flyer for Osaka Tourism. I figured I better look up all the information I can find on promotional packets to make my piece successful. I know we will be printing these folding from special printing and actually be making the folder by hand. I found an interesting packet online, that looks like a newspaper design with a drawstring to hold it together, I like the unique presentation this packet has. I'm impressed with the overall design of the piece because the cover has enough of curiosity to make me want to open it, I actually want to see what's inside this piece. The designer also used a fun typography that works with this piece's overall layout.

Good Layout

       I found a great magazine ad for coke that I found really inspirational for future reference. I found this piece from another blog by mistake and I'm glad to have this for ideas. The level of branding into this piece is impressive because it tells a story without even telling you what Coke is even about.  This woman that was created in this ad establishes a creative storytelling to the coke branding elements. The tagline on the bottom, creates a whole other version of coke with branding. Sometimes an advertisement, can really shape the company in good way because consumers can recognize right off the bat what brand it is and what they stand for.

           I found a website to help me understand a page layout better. I know there are different formats you could use for many things, its just finding the right layout for your design. I know this is important when designing a webpage or logo for a company.  I found an interesting layout design for a magazine page I would use as inspiration. The fading type works well with this design, and the colors vibrate on the page in the right way. The designer uses the type to create the page.

I found this two page magazine spread online, that really uses the image in the spread as on good example. This image I think alone makes this spread a lot stronger because the layout is simple but effective. After finding this spread I decided to look up more about the artist because I was curious to see more work.
