ASSiGNMENT #18: RESEARCH & iNSPiRATiON :)

Research: IN FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHY

COLORS
-tend to be plain colors, not colorful
-a lot of black (shows professionalism)
-white and black + use of negative space

-occasional colors, but they tend to make it playful

-fonts are plain too unless they want to be fun [like the one above]

-Industry trends/competition:
  -photographers tend to keep their logos/wordmarks easy and legible.
  -it's not all about the appearance, they just want the point across
  -photographers aren't trying to attract people through their logos, they attract through their photographs
  -the just want a logo that is memorable


Inspiration:

 I like these two because they incorporate a picture within the text [the cross] or become a text [New Earth form]. I want to imply a camera lens or something into my wordmark as well.

 I also just like the simplicity of Benq.

-Visual hierarchy:
    go straight into the name, then read photography
