Contextual Portfolio ~ The Importance of a Multi-Platform Design


In an early lecture we discussed the importance of a multi-platform design so that it can work effectively across a range of different media and materials. The initial picture that captured my attention for this logo was the business cards, the choice of material and texture crates a very professional and attractive appearance and represents the company in a very positive light. I then followed the link provided with the picture and realised that the company had created a series of bags, tins, websites, and many other products featuring their logo and design.
They continue the duo colour theme for the bag design, using the business card style as an influence for this and creating a very attractive appearance. I think the simplicity of one side of the design in contrast to the complexity of the other side creates a really rounded design. In addition to this, the unique use of materials and small details creates a very perfected design and shoes that the company care about their products, providing the customers with a sense of trust.

By creating a more simplified version of their logo they have provided the viewers with something easy and recognisable that they can familiarise with the company. This provides a ground for customers as they will continually return to the recognised company as they feel safe and comfortable with familiar ground.
