Thread: Project by a noob!

A BIG, big thank you to everyone who has looked at my project and given such kind comments - slightly overwhelming because I didn't expect such a positive response! :icon_lol:

I was pleased that the horizontal/vertical aspect of the logo was picked up on - on the shelves, the box is intended to be stacked vertically! But I wanted to try (as best as possible) to maintain the legibility of the word GOOD - but as was pointed out by spottypenguin (great name!) it does read differently at times. But I decided that it was a fair trade-off to be able to implement the steaming tea logo.

Thank you again! I am in a sticky situation in that I was planning to secure some funding from the government and bank to do the IDI course for the Graphic Design degree but the loan decision will not be returned in time unfortunately. Now I am potentially faced with missing the start date for the course and having to wait a whole year for the start of courses to come round again. A major setback, for sure, but I won't stop the self-tutoring and appreciate the useful things that I read on this forum!

Once again, many many thanks!

Some courses take people on in the new year too, as a lot of people drop out before Christmas because they don't like the course (and there's a threshold for quitting a course, after which you have extra fees or something to pay).

Have you spoken to anyone involved with the course about this? They may be willing to suspend payments until you get the loan or 'save' you a place in the new year (if there's one available).

Well IDI have been keen to speak to me about this, they gave me a call today but I was busy and missed the call. I will keep your comments in mind Paul and contact some unis about this. Thank you! :D

I think it looks very 'designy' but I wouldn't look at it and read the word as 'Good'

I would read it as 'Goc' and then spend time wondering what the rest of the image was.

Maybe work on making it less ambiguous?

I love the packaging, the colours, the textures..very professional, modern and chic.

I also looked at some of your other work. I think it is tremendous, very original and refreshingly so. I think you have a big career ahead of you.

I don't see it like this at all but, if I did, I think I'd probably get an extra kick out of seeing the whole thing come together.

Thank you again for the kind comments. :) Career is at a bit of a stall at the moment, but hopefully something comes up soon. :)
