FINAL DESIGN/CONTEXT
In a ‘club’ or activity group a uniform is sometimes often available, I believe in this case it is necessary. In such a hands on project the kids would be bound to get messy and so having a uniform would stop them from ruining their own clothes. I tried it on different colours and styles but as these are aimed at the children I think the first design would be more accepted by them rather than the two more plain t shirts.
As this is a charity and consequently runs on donations I think it could be a good idea to create small gift ideas that can be purchased and use the money to go to the funding of HFTC. These gifts would have to be relevant to what the children do at this gardening activity centre so plant pots would be ideal to present the logo on and to look aesthetically professional.
This is my final logo design, I eventually decided that I would have a bottom heavy logo as I just felt that it was better to look at. Putting the text inbetween the two halves makes the text become part of the logo and therefore means that this is easier to then incorporate the name into other designs when it is already part of the logo. I think the oranges and greens really show strong representations of nature and health. Being healthy is a strong message to communicate to young children, it is something they need to be taught and so this is a great scheme to do so. However on paper it could sound quite boring so this is why the logo needs to be light hearted and welcoming and show the creative side to this project and charity.
Another useful item at a gardening centre would be an apron. This would preferably be one with pockets to keep items in, this is a simple design as I felt if I had gone with the same design as the t-shirt the apron would have had to have been white, this would get dirty very quickly. a quick easy tie at the back would be handy for young children.
