41 VISUAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT Iconography These are sketches and refinements of icon graphics, typefaces being used that are part of the overall visual system as a whole. An it’s part of the application development along with the logo and visual development of the brand. I’ve been going through several areas in my brainstorming process and you will find the personas as well tied to this because it is associated with a visual reference about the character and intention of the person and how that reflects the subject matter.

45 VISUAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT Personas This was to narrow down which audience I wanted to direct my brand to figure out certain traits young or old. How that will effect or project an understanding on a visual level. The personas are to portray real people that you would see everyday from any demographic down to the details of: What they do, how much they make, what their likes or dislikes. To get an idea of how someone might think about a product or service and to be in their shoes as it’s geared on a marketing level. I have included sketches and refinements of flash like cards or mini posters to convey this idea.

57 APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (Apps) Deliverables & Branding This part is mostly about carrying off the vernacular or visual system set deliverables for these following items: Website, APPS, Posters, Process Book, Booklet and Products. My main focus of this part of the project was to make the user be able to interact, engage, share the experience, connect and network with others but also gain insight of the cause, impact of the importance of it through these media outlets on a marketing level.

FINDINGS, SKETCHES & GRID FORMATS

These are ideas and concepts from layouts, compositional forms, brainstorming, experiences, observations and this could change or evolve. These are not finalized but at least you can see where I’m at with gathering my information and research. I’ve got some composites of grid layouts that I might go with to follow along with my usage of type and imagery or graphic integration. All these findings of facts an information will eventually be directed into the data, statistics and chapters subjects of the book to tell more about the topic and issues at hand.
