OUGD602 - Notebook and Pencil Designs

6A2 / 6C2.

As another part of my personal branding, it was decided to create a stationary set, something which could be used practically whilst also promoting my 'brand'. These sets would consist of a notebook and pencil, creating three sets with each one promoting a different element of my creative practice. In doing so, these take the same aesthetics from my business card designs in order to continue in creating consistency across my personal branding, utilising the words "design, illustrate, create" in the same colours and typeface on individual notebooks which can be used as a personal strategy to separate up notes, ideas and workings into the three different categories of my creative practice, allowing better organisation of briefs and projects. These words have also been arranged in a columns of three with close spacing to mimic the same format of type as on my business cards.

In the bottom left-hand corner of the back page, I have also featured my logo alongside my full name and the title I have given myself of "Graphic Designer and Illustrator" so that if these were potentially sent out to studios/agencies then they have a note of who they were made and sent by. This would also work in a similar way if these were potentially sold as stationary sets to the public in that they may then go on to look up my name and engage with more of my work.

How they would be used in context:

Pencils would also be created to go alongside each of these notebooks, three pencils, each with one of the different words on, "design, illustrate, create", which can then be used alongside the specific notebook which matches the caption. These would also be yellow, with the words engraved/stamped into the pencils in pink, again to match the colour scheme of my branding.
