" How design makes me happier " the power of design
To me design is a feeling, a life style. It is essential as fresh air and sweet water, something wonderful taht makes you smile. Design - oriented life by no means can offer you comfort and convience. Nice displayed graphics can help everyday life easier when you are looking at the packaging which followed with contentment.It is the power of design and I want to build the life around us better through marvelous graphics. If we can do it ! why not ? Turn my thoughts into physical work For the last module, my mission is to make efforts understanding the professional context about brandind and identity, by reading books and searching into professional design case studies. The most imperative matter is to analyze what I have learned, and how can I apply those qualities into my design. I should absord more and develop my learning system. Stop procrastinating and make time management, which is a good practice for me if I am going to manage other cases in the future

BRANDING 01' The branding and identity design case for MA project
2014
NO.1 The first stage
the story To start my master project, I try to identify some issues that are meaningful to me.
The Story Where my idea came to light
Be an international students who studied abroad for the first time, I find myself in need of help and advice.
For international student, studying abroad coupled with living away from their own family might be a new and exciting experience, but somehow the impact of culture shock gradually creeps into their life and influences them bit by bit. The term {culture shock} implies the impact of moving from a familar culture to one that is unfamiliar. During the period, you need to adjust to the unfamilar aspects, such as language barrier, way of life, and last but not least, starting your social connections from the beginning. Various issues might also occur, for instance, home sickness and stress accumulating gradually throughout your days abroad.
Studying in another country is such a wonderful life experience. You take opportunities to go out of your comfort zone, to explore the new world and to obtain new knowledge. However, unaware of the impact of culture shock may become an obstacle while you start off your student life with lots of expectations. Through a supporting organization, which dedicates their efforts to aid international students to overcome various difficulties, students can have a brighter future and a happier life on the campus.
NO.2 The second stage
the research
Design in Its purest sense is research mixed with imagination. --Adrian Shaughnessy
CULTURE SHOCK -noun The impact of moving from a familiar culture to one that is unfamiliar. It includes the shock of a new environment, meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a new country. It also includes the shock of being separated from the important people in your life, such as family, friends, colleagues, and teachers: people you would talk to at times of uncertainty, people who give you support and guidance.
NO.3 The first stage
the strategy
The strategy that supports design is more important than the itself.
Identify my project The design brief
Project title How can branding an organization and communicating through graphic designs help interntional students coming to study at universities in the UK overcome the potential stress of culture shock and enjoy life while studying?
The brief To create an organization which helps international students to engage with cultural and social events during their time at university. The main aim of the organization is to aid students while they transfer from a previous environment to a new one and for overseas students who need to overcome the stress of culture shock. The organization’s mission is to transform student engagement with social and cultural events, supporting a new generation of active citizens to achieve positive change now and in the future. The challenge for my project will be to create an approachable brand identity for my organisation and apply the identity across a range of printed material, webpage and other promotional items in a dynamic and contemporary way.
Submissions A brand book detailing all aspects of my brand’s identity and its application across printed and web-based material Posters and promotional material for student events, and website design for brand A cafe hub
Target Audience
Primarily, BA/MA international students who study in UK.
Secondarily, UK home students who can learn more about the people from other country and make new friends who comes from different country.
Start from the Name What is it about
LINK
\ noun \
synonym : connection A connection between two people, things or ideas
I want to name my organization “Link“, for it represent the idea of linking and connecting. For international students, living far away from home and away from familiar environment. Studying abroad is not easy and at times could lead to the feeling of uncertainty which could result in depression, like homesickness, as they have to adapt to a different way of life.
BUT Looking at the bright side, the mission for students is to learn and have experience of life to prepare them for a brighter future.
Vision
Mission
Our vision is to introduce the idea of being a global citizen and share the experience with each other by being supportive and sharing.
Our mission is to form a welcoming global village, for every student to engage and be inspired.
NO.4 The fourth stage

NO.5 The fifth stage
Final identity
A brand stands for the face of a company or organization
Final desision identity The reason for choosing this design
After designing the six concept, I started to running focus groups asking peoples opinion about which design they prefer. It is important to ask opinions from my target audience because they are the main people I will communicte with through graphic design. With various advice and opinions form university teachers and some of international students, I have decided to go for the second concept because it got the most vote and the way it express energy and the ideas of shapes join together appeals to people.

Research into design FUTURE IN SIGHT design and research competition what will Haagen Dazs be in 20 years times
Make like no others the affordable indulgence H채agen-Dazs is an ice cream brand, established by Reuben and Rose Mattus in the Bronx, New York, in 1961. Starting with only three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, the company opened its first retail store in Brooklyn, New York, on November 15, 1976.[1] The business now has franchises throughout the United States and many other countries around the world. H채agen-Dazs ice cream holds the distinction of being one of the few commercial ice cream brands not to use stabilizers
such as guar gum, xanthan gum, or carageenan. They now started using corn syrup in many of their flavors, such as the Vanilla Swiss Almond, according to their website. In addition to ice cream, the company also produces ice cream bars, ice cream cakes, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and gelato.
