Assignment 19: Research and Inspiration!

Stationary package: Printed pieces that a company uses for communication purposes, like a letterhead, envelope, and business card


Research:
Color trends- From Benjamin Moore Paint 

F

The earthy tones of these colors would work well for a salon (Azul Salon and Spa), or some sort of business that needs to evoke a calm feeling

These bright colors would look great with The Candy Shop, the colors being bright and solid. They really show a good sense of exuberance

For Ted's Hot Wings, the bottom left block would look great. 

These colors are literally perfect for a candy shop, and the azalea or nasturtium colors would look very unique in a salon design

Visual Hierarchy- 

1. Logo

2. Name and title

3. Information

Inspiration: Business Card

I like the color and layout of this. The actual card to the top left has some personality with a rounded side, but would still fit the required size for business cards. The colors are nice and simple, and the logo is also simple but shows great consistency within itself

I love the simplicity of this one and how the font of "katie's" makes it seem more youthful and casual, while the clean design keeps it modern. The logo is nice and simple, though it is three pantone spot colors. I really like the color combination!

This business card is so youthful and cute, and uses repetition in a non-annoying way, which is nice. I like the vertical layout and how well everything still fits. I don't think there is a logo on this one, but it's cute!


Wish me luck!!

Inspiration: Letterhead


Colors-Same as the logo/business card:
Pantone 5275 U and 5255 U

I love the design of this! The colored squares are just so nice, and the letterhead is super simple and blocky, but matches everything else really well. I also like how the information is at the BOTTOM of the page rather than in a column at the top

This is very nice! I loooove the letterhead, period. That is all 

This watermark is nice! I like how the letterhead is super simple, and but is the same logo as the other  things. And there's a THEME going on with all these watermarks! That's fancy~

Inspiration: Envelope

Color almost to the edge, but not quite...!

So simple but pretty! I like the Use of the two colors differently between the business card and the envelope :)

I like how the address is underneath the logo! It's nice and simple!
