Development on Maple was fast and furious design finished and website up within the week. Best client feedback ever ... "I thought I was going to pee myself" (on seeing the design work ). Can't beat that for a response, now can you ! http://www.maple-digital.com
Agreed on final logo design. However my favourite has to be this, not much in it but it's all in the detail.
I rock
It's been a long haul, with many distractions and I'm not even half way there. But the portfolio is taking shape. Whilst archiving my work I came across possibly the best client feedback ever ! "You rock" nothing more needs said, but if you'd like to find out more about this story, check out the identity section of this blog.
I first learned to meditate @ the GBC around 20 years ago, it's therefor close to my heart ! We began our redesign around five years ago. Our initial design work was simple, bold and using only two colours. The artwork reflected a need to communicate the centre's urban environment. Images were of actual people who attended the centre and the form the design reflected the Tenement houses the centre. We created a long programme which would stand head and shoulders above all other leaflets in the display, the cut off corner revealed a dharmachakra rising over the rooftop.
With a new Director and a pilgrimage under their belts, the centre now wanted to develop their existing design. The new artwork now became infused with reference to the "historical Buddha" and his Indian origins. The form of the programme was now a booklet; full colour; rich imagery and had a bit of a theme. Each programme depicts an animal from the five mandalas. The Elephant represents wisdom, the Lion equanimity/enlightenment, the Horse generosity, the Peacock compassion and the Eagle fearlessness.
I look forward to the next design incarnation !
