Logo Exploration The Vouched Books logo was developed with a distinctive emblem and suppor ting logotype. Both pieces are distinctive in their own regard but have been designed and balanced to be used in tandem.

The Process There were a variety of sketches and ideas produced in the beginning to try and fully embody the essence of Vouched Books. From there a series of digital mock ups were created. Throughout this process there were several directions and explorations of emblems, typography, and their variations. In the end an emblem was the best fit for the Vouched Books.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING The everyday products and packaging for Vouched Books went through several phases. There was an evolution in the brand that needed to be handled. In the end the products made became a constant reminder of what Vouched Books signifies and means.

MARKETING CAMPAIGN In order for Vouched Books to reach it’s full potential it had to have a strong marketing campaign. The use of several types of media was used to reach the masses. This company is small but needed to have a big voice, this was both the challenge and the beauty of the campaign.

33


The first exploration of the best campaign choice was through three campaign ideas. The first campaign titled “Community” focused on creating a community in which Vouched Books connected it’s readers and authors. It was meant to highlight the uniqueness of each individual while enabling them to connect with the brand. The second campaign titled “Intimate Connection” was an approach toward sex appeal and humor. It mainly focused on double entendres as a source for the humor. The third campaign titled “Small Presses Big Impressions” star ted by using the actual quotes from the books being sold by Vouched Books to por tray messages. These messages were to be paired with obscure and attractive images. It was meant to give the audience a taste of what they might get from the product and captivate them at the same time.

Newsletter The third campaign was chosen to fully embody the brand. This campaign was expanded through the use of social media, printed materials, and viral videos. It is impor tant to this brand to have as many touch points as possible with a small budget. This challenge was resolved through the use of social media and viral videos. By branding the sites in which people interact there was a connection with the brand and other people who are passionate about the brand. The viral video provided a platform for people to see another side of Vouched Books which involves it’s authors. These videos provide another inexpensive and strong media. The printed materials created are the components that will require a budget. The nature of these printed materials however can be used in dif ferent quantities depending on the current budget. The printed materials are easily acquired and are the least expensive of other options. While the newsletter has the flexibility to be printed or viewed solely on mobile devices and online.
