The New Borders


As our final project, we had to place our logo into real life, and here is my Border's logo on the building.
The hardest part of doing this was trying to get the logo to look like it belonged and wasn't too shiny.  Another hard part of this was to work over the old Borders logo. This is the result of my work.

Border's: Books, Music, and A Cafe


In class, we had to make stationary, a business card, and an envelope for the store whose logo we had chosen to redo. Since my choice was Borders, I went ahead with designing. Starting off with the business card made it easier when moving on to the envelope and stationary.
Problems that I had with this project were where I should place things, what to leave out on the designs and what to keep, and finally, how to keep everything looking like the same type of font and style (for example making sure things weren't to squish-ified or stretch-ified). After those problems were solved, the designs were made. Above, you can see the final product of my designs.
