Publix Full Page Ad - Project 31

-

Introduction

    Publix is more than just a grocery store chain. Well known for its exceptional customer service and high-quality products, Publix has committed to giving back and working within the community, fostering a sense of belonging. Publix also embraces a light-hearted spirit, creating fun customer promotions and activities. While delving into my research on Publix and learning about its brand identity, I stumbled across a section that piqued my interest. Publix has a page on its website devoted to Halloween-related crafts and treats. This page is rightfully named, Creepy, Crafty Fun, and judging by the photos provided, they will definitely make for a great time, especially if you have young children. After discovering this hidden treasure on Publix’s website, I knew my next project would involve Halloween.

    My next project is a full-page magazine ad advertising two recipes listed on Publix’s Creepy, Crafty Fun page. I knew that I would include one of them right away, but as I brainstormed ideas I decided to include both of them because they paired well together.

    I began storyboarding this project, and in the beginning, I was going to create another half-page ad. I chose to do a full-page ad instead. It was a better fit.

    I chose the typeface Raleway Bold because it mimics the typeface that Publix uses for ads like the one I have created.

    The two recipes that I chose were Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Monster Burger. Monster burger was chosen first because it is a clever idea for a Halloween recipe, and it is presented, accordingly.

    The reason I paired these two together is because the question that is front and center on my page involves the killer and the monster. I thought it would be an interesting take on how viewers perceive the Monster Burger and the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde layered beer.

    I added a QR code so that customers could easily access the URL for the recipes.

    A spider is coming down from its web and the burger and beer are placed upon an old wooden table with cobwebs with a purple background all representing Halloween.

    I also added the Publix logo at the top because this was also similar to a line of posters that Publix created for these recipes.

Creepy, Crafty Fun - Full Page Ad

Conclusion

    This was a creepy, crafty fun experience for me. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this poster to represent Publix’s hidden gem. Before my research, I did not know that these recipes existed. I knew Publix had recipes but not recipes and crafts geared toward Halloween. Publix has a little bit of fun for everyone.

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 not like. I ended up going with Bookman Old Style Bold

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 picked from the logo itself. I placed the logo a

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 into Starbucks, it has a certain feeling
