Substance Stager

For this assignment we had to: Design, Develop and Create a Brand and generate a series of marketing concept renders in order to entice the viewer into wanting to buy a Box. 

The Brand Design

So for my initial idea i wanted to create a brand for a business that sells the latest Best technology products on a subscription basis, essentially they would in theory research the best products in each category of technology and you pay the subscription choosing the items you want to be updated every year and would receive the latest of the category you requested without having to think about it. So in the design process i wanted to keep the box fairly minimalist giving that clean high quality feel to the design while still including bits to make it feel like a trustworthy upscale brand. I chose the main brand colour as this techy turquoise/green as in my opinion it gives the futuristic feel to the box which for a company meant to keep you updated on technology matches quite well. This also aligns with the meanings behind colours as blue often represents trustworthy stable brands while green often gets associated with wealth, and nature keeping the brand feeling fresh to the viewer. The intended audience for such a product would be the early adopters, young professionals looking to keep on top of the latest trends but maybe don’t have as much time on their hands to do the research and find the best options for such products as and when they are released.

The Logo

When it came to the logo I tried to match four criteria:

  • Minimalist
  • Futuristic
  • Brandable
  • Memorable

In order to follow this I first had to come up with a name for the brand. My first Idea was something like “TechPulse” or “TechUpdate/ TU” however after some more consideration i finally landed on “UPtech” i went with this as the UP part could be highly brandable and memorable and also helped me with the final logo design as i wanted the UP to make up the main branded part of the logo itself.
