u/sleepysparrow- created this branding for Uncle Herb’s, a hashish store. Full with model pointers masking sort, shapes, colors, and graphic parts, it is a effectively thought-out venture.

Observ is a charity coping with psychological well being in kids. u/Svnth- designed this model id centred round a visually-striking brand (which will be animated as above) which remembers an open eye. The branding is skilled and clear, lending an air of authority to the model.

Nonetheless, the model is saved from changing into too severe for a charity coping with kids by the inclusion of huge, enjoyable emoticons. Rendered in the identical stark black and white as the remainder of the branding they assist sand down its in any other case onerous edges.

This month, u/VaporWaveMac created this threatening venture as a part of a collection exploring capital, consumerism, and the way companies relate to their clients (one thing on the core of graphic design as a career!)

The daring color scheme remembers a sure well-known fast-food chain and is sort of sickly, demanding the viewer’s undivided consideration. The all-seeing eye atop the signpost is ominous. All through the venture, capitalist hallmarks are referenced and pastiched in a satisfyingly tight critique of recent consumerism.

For his or her last college venture, u/lidolemonade designed this board sport centred round themes of local weather change and with the temporary of “designing for good”. The design takes cues from retro sources with its misshapen textual content and illustrations, whereas its heat and earthy color scheme ties into the sport itself.

Thought has been given to how the venture features as a sport, too, with huge clear icons to assist gamers navigate the board, clear color signposting, and a effectively thought-out board design general.

u/jaehjlee shared this private branding venture made for themselves this month. As somebody introduced up in an East Asian family, they needed the branding to reference Chinese language seals (utilized by many Chinese language companies to determine themselves in paperwork), therefore the sturdy strokes and compact measurement. The image itself is predicated on the Chinese language character that spells the designer’s surname. A stunning piece of non-public branding with loads of thought and character inside it!
