The Brief: Develop an effective an suitable branding/identity for an established building company. Able Builders is a family-run building company based in the south-east of England. Despite being established for a while now, they still lack a strong visual identity, which could be crucial their future development. The visual identity must of course reflect the qualities of any successful building company - durable and reliable with an excellent level of craftsmanship, without costing the earth.

The ‘Able’ logo is comprised of four parts which can be added or taken away depending on the stage of a project. For example, at the beginning of a project, the shell of the logo can be used, which would represent the foundations of the building project. Once the job has been completed and the final forms are filled in, the complete logo would be used. This logo development could help to give the customer a sense of the timescale of the project.

T.Batchelor Gardening Michael Mooney Brief 2 OUGD301
The Brief: Develop an effective an suitable branding/identity for a small gardening business. T.Batchelor gardening services is currently a (mostly) one-man company located in the south-east of England. Despite not being around for long, it has gained the trust of a number of clients - with the help of a good visual identity it has the potential to develop into a stronger and more successful company. As the business is in its early days, keeping the costs to an absolute minimum is the key. Many of the products should be easily reproducible on demand. A small piece of promotional material alongside this will help to spread the word in the local area.

The identity for T.Batchelor Gardening Services conists of the name written in a serif typeface (Arnhem bold), which in itself forms the logo. This is combined with the white lines on green shown underneath, which are to give the impression of a well-tended lawn. The need for an image/shape to sit beside the logo is removed by the combination of these two elements, which effectively convey the service provided by the company.

M.Lynch Photography Michael Mooney Brief 3 OUGD301
The Brief: Create an identity as well as some promotional material for a photographer soon to be based in Amsterdam. Michael Lynch is a semi-professional photographer, specialising in portrait work for musicians and small/medium clothing companies. He currently does not possess a solid visual identity or any promotional material, both of which will be useful for his imminent move to the Netherlands. The identity and promotional material must represent his personal style, which is often slightly bleak but with the occasional appearence of warm colours. Although there will not be a demand for a great number of copies, it will be worth making sure the final products remain manageable within a small budget.

Outcomes
Spreads & cover from the promotional booklet. As the majority of the photographer’s shots supplied for this project were black and white, it seemed fitting to keep this theme across the whole booklet. This in turn would allow him to create further copies at a cheaper rate.
