type based brochure

I used mainly type for my brochure and a limited amount of imagery because I wanted it to stand out. My brochure would have been available to buy at the The National September 11 Memorial, so I didn't want to use a lot of pictures of the memorial in my brochure because the reader would be seeing theses images up close in real life.
I decided to go for a more classy, modern typographical approach. This meant I had to think of  an interesting layout using mainly type on every page. I used a variety of colours, typefaces, columns/grids. 

final logo/marque

This is my final design for my logo, it's based on my old design but I curved the corners to give it a modern and sympathetic look, I also changed to colours, I thought the red and blue were a bit too much. I think the new colours give it a more classy modern look.

flag

I recently made an emulsion print of a battered looking flag to use somewhere in my brochure.
I think this image would work well in a page spead containing peoples accounts on what happened on 911.

more logo ideas

I went back to one of my old designs and used a bolder text (impact) to create these banners.
I really like the way these look. Using all blue text makes the red in the logo stand out. 




I liked this angular geometric logo/marque, but when I added the text it had a bit of a "petrol station" look to it.
