My Astro-Toupee - Creative Exercise 24

-

Introduction

    A majority of people are born with hair, and it kind of just sticks with them throughout their whole lives riding its evolution process to term, and then there are some other people who lose their hair at some point for various reasons whether they are younger or older.

    Whatever your case may be, this creative exercise shall be interesting for those who have both; however, those of you who don't have hair may have a bit more fun coming up with ideas.

    This is another exercise out of the book CAFFEINE FOR THE CREATIVE MIND series written by Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Le Oldfield, and was given the wondrous name of "My Astro-Toupee", how funny and relevant, right?

    In the creative exercise "My Astro-Toupee", you are to be unique, wild, and make sure the ideas you choose stand out. These ideas could be anything that comes to your imagination. They should make people gawk at you in awe because these things are abnormal things to be replaced by one’s natural hair. In saying this, you need to list 5 alternatives for what will be placed upon your beautiful head instead of hair! When you have come up with 5 things you then have to pick one and try to draw out what it would look like. What would you choose to be in its place?

5 Things:

Garden

Recording Studio

Drafting Studio

Science Lab

Time Machine

I chose the garden!

Conclusion

     As I was thinking things that could dress my head to replace my hair, I had a ton of ideas. I believe the ones I have chosen are some of the bests. If we could actually find a way to incorporate these things onto our head, we could find a way to use our brainwaves and thought process to sync up to these things and everything would flow better. You could use your brain to automatically produce what has already been thought about in your head. Also, your thoughts could fertilize your garden, as well as, send yourself or other people back in time to wherever you set your intentions to inside your head! The brain is one of the most powerful organs emitting and vibrating at certain frequencies. There is not telling what we could actually do with it in comparison to building something extravagant to be placed upon its shelter.

Nigerian Street Buka's Logo - Project 25 Final

-
Image
     Nigerian clothing and street restaurant signs are filled with vibrant and bold colors. Each region's colors vary, but many wear colorful attire at some point.      To begin my logo process, I came up with the name Nigerian Street Buka. I wanted Nigerian and street in the name so that people knew what kind of food it was, but I also wanted it to be unique so I named it Nigerian Street Buka. Buka refers to small local shops in Nigeria, and that is what my restaurant represents. I also knew that I wanted to represent music and food.      Then, I sketched 30 thumbnails, and from the 30 that I sketched, I chose 3 thumbnails. I then created 3 roughs from these thumbnails, adding more detail. I again chose 1 rough for my final design.      I uploaded a photo of my rough to Adobe Illustrator, and I began drawing everything out with the pen tool. As I came to the final logo, I realized that there were some details that I did ...

Nigerian Street Buka's Brand Identity - Project 26

     Now that a Logo had been established for Nigerian Street Buka , it was time to create a Brand Identity. For this part of the assignment, we were supposed to create a Business Card , Letterhead , Envelope , and a Website Mock-up (For a cell phone screen.) for our restaurant.      I began this project by researching various brand identities and business cards. I wanted to get a feel for what was out there in the world of the restaurant industry. Anyone can come up with a generic design for their brand identity, but if you want your brand identity to speak to your customers visually and emotionally, there needs to be a great portion of brainstorming and planning: colors, shapes, typography, and more need to be taken into careful consideration.      After completing my research, I drew my artboards out for each project piece and began contemplating a few designs. I knew my colors would be a combination of two or three colors that I pick...

Nigerian Street Buka's Touchpoints - Project 27

Introduction      To continue with learning about what makes a successful brand identity and how to create one, this week we are to design three more touchpoints that we would consider using for our restaurant.      Now that we are in week three of Intro to Marketing and Self-Promotion , I am beginning to really understand branding and what it takes to have a successful brand. I know I still have a lot to learn, but designing a business from scratch helps teach someone how to go through the process themselves. It gives you a little taste of what it's like. Through-out my travels, I notice that I am zoning in on the brands that are in my environment.      One brand that I was focusing in on was Starbucks . Their name and symbol are everywhere. When you order Starbucks, you have a little piece of their brand in every step of the process. This includes their napkins, straws, coffee sleeves, bags, merchandise, stickers, etc. When you walk ...
