Treemansion - Creative Exercise 35

-

Introduction

    Treehouses were probably one of the most ingenious inventions in the history of mankind, but why is it that these magnificent creations are only built for little beings? Children do not even have the means to supply any of the products it takes to construct these treehouses, also, why do they need privacy with a plethora of fun amenities? Adults work our bodies to the bone (well, most of us adults), so shouldn’t we deserve a treehouse in a tree up in the sky secluded from everyone, including the children? Children can have whatever they want when they have the means to supply/purchase all of it! They could have the house on the ground if they please!

    My next creative exercise is “Treemansion” out the book, “CREATIVE BOOT CAMP-GENERATE IDEAS IN GREATER QUANTITY & QUALITY IN 30 DAYS”, written by Stefan Mumaw.

    “Treemansion” explains that we are to design, plot, and scheme our ultimate dream Treemansion. We have free reign so, the Treemansion can look however we want it to look, and it can have anything that we desire. Money is not a question. According to the exercise, “we have been issued an unlimited grant from The Federal TreeHouse Administration’s hedge fund”… It also states that our kid’s college savings plan is being used as collateral! The only restriction is that it has to be in a tree! Now it’s time to design the greatest Treemansion of our dreams.

Treemansion:

Wrap-around porch screened-in

Air conditioning

Multiple stories

Secured porch on the top story

Recording studio

Stairs that go up and down as we walk in or out to keep people from coming up

Water catcher/purifier that catches natural rain

Treehouse netting that you can walk out onto or lie on around a certain portion of the house

Solar panels to light the house and provide electricity

A pool in the air

A little elevator

Tinted windows

A movie room

Game room

Cozy warm/bright colors for the interior

Art hung up everywhere on the walls

A puzzle table in the game room

Conclusion

    Who wouldn't want the dream Treemansion of their life, especially with an endless amount of funds? Having a treehouse with endless funds would take the burden off of many adults. We could relax and free our minds in a safe space that is healing and amongst some of nature's greatest healing properties. This would help adults reconnect with their inner-child relieving some of the stress that we endure on a day to day basis. This would be a grand idea.

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 ...
