The Dutch Touch

Angeline sent me this link earlier and deff recommended you people to check it out. It is a complete process of Dutch government identity building. Exactly what we need right now and not to mention brilliant concept.


In autumn 2007 Koeweiden Postma pitched for a new logo and housestyle for the Dutch government. They made it to the final round but didn't get the job: here's what the Dutch could have had.

It's a constant frustration to us here at CR that, due to client confidentiality clauses, design studios and ad agencies are seldom allowed to show the projects that didn't make it. So often, they are more interesting than the ones that finally get the nod.

Last week at the Designyatra conference in Mumbai, Hugo van Bos of Koweiden Postma showed his studio's pitch for the Dutch government's new identity. They proposed two routes.

Coorperate Identity Research Presentation Brief

1. Powerpoint presentation on your research (to be presented within 2 weeks)

Gabriel sent a copy of example done by seniors for reference yesterday.
Please download it here.

I’m sending you as promised a sample of what could be seen as a respectable powerpoint presentation.I’m not too happy with the layout of this presentation but the content is quiet interesting.This example is just to give you a rough idea of what I’m expecting for our next class.Please show it to your fellow classmates.

See you in 2 weeks, take care.
Gabriel



2.
Regarding the brief for your Identity programme. I’m conscious that this powerpoint presentation could be difficult to work on.

So, to make it easier for you all, you can form groups of 4-5 people and choose a common country (for expl: 4 people choose Egypt, 4 other choose USA, 4 Malaysia, or any other country.)

That way, you could work together to prepare the brand identity presentation due in 2 weeks time, and later on sharing your research between each other.

Regards,Gabriel


For this grouping issue, i think he is most likely referring to grouping for the research presentation instead of the final project one. In short, grouping are for the early research presentation only but the overall final is still individual assignment.

However, most of you have been researching on your own so check back here for any in-case changes!

Any questions at all please fire at me NOT AT LAST MINUTE, like the day before presentation :)

One Year Back

Hello old blog.

Hello new term.

Hello sassy new lecturer and empty days inside timetables yay.

It’s been one year I guess and I thought instead of mailing you people information or any sort stuff like that and then spread the words to check your bloody mail that contains probably 1324 unread mail, not to mention the other half that goes into your junk mail and never to be seen again, I shall be making this blog useful again to spread the words, ideas and well, stuff.

Please check and write often people. Often drawing habits without a genuine consumption of reading, writing contribution and sharing might just snapped off your brain like that. Seriously.
