Overall, I feel that this fulfilled my proposal by covering a good balance of both branding and illustration. As a result, I emerged with clearer path for my future specialism.

At most, this logo took me a week to complete considering research, development, and final outcomes.

At the beginning, I devised some variations according the clients specific vision. This did not leave much space for expansion as I persisted with one possible outcome. Nevertheless, I began on the logo whilst the client was present. Receiving first-hand guidance, which visualises the basic notion for further development once on my own.

After scouring the net seeking statistical information on energy drinks sold in the United Kingdom, I found nothing related. On the other hand, I gathered American statistics which is just as relevant considering that this is a British brand for export. None to my surprise, I found that Red bull had the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share in the market and this is what I had to compete with if this brand existed.

NONAGON

The Nonagon is a polygonal shape which in this context represents the nine pilots flying on the Red Arrow team. The aim here was to being with something symbolic in order to generate a sense of leadership form chief pilot to following formation, and the association with high-speed movement. This became the basis for my further simplification of shape.

ARROWED ENERGY

During this stage, my icons refer specifically to the upward motion of a plane when taking off. All icons maintain tension point or series of tension points which translates a message of full-throttle activity and climb. At this point however, there was something slightly generic and more so instructional rather than original so I proceeded with the blend tool.

WAVE BLEND

This stage refers back to the nine pilots from a different standpoint. Instead of one shape, these Bezier curves characterize the synchronisation, velocity, beauty and variation in stunts performed by the team. Furthermore, this was my direct answer to the briefs statement about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not referring to planes per seâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Although nice on the eye, they seem too complex when minimized.

UP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DOWN

My iconic development stage focused a visual range of possibilities which could be produced once de constructing and reconstructing on one curve. This curve became the natural progression by fitting into the flower of life grid (p.20). Though fairly abstract it still represents motion whist being solid enough to be recognised.

ADDING MOD BLUE

To complete the modernist feel, I added the secondary colour, providing variation and depth in addition to size. Furthermore, the design was easier to embellish like that of an aviator crest as the central wave was established. Amongst all experiments however, I chose the bottom left logo as it was the most powerful yet unique and punchy yet elegant symbol amongst unnecessary decoration.

Gotham HTF - Black Italic

When incorporating type, I looked at a range of bold typeface families which varied in thickness and slant. I used two traditional ones and I experimented with a retro Superdry style. For the second, I chose the bottom right because it was the cleanest, boldest and resembled the red Bull racing image most.

gradually introduces each sample to create a downward spiral of coiling sound. This track vibrates most with me therefore allowing me to maintain interest throughout development.

IDEA 1

The first stage refers directly to the brain becoming a creature through mental orgasms. Though obvious, this was my starting point for deeper development into areas within Mentasm that are not so obvious. Using Photoshop to mutate and collage imagery this way expanded my skills furthermore as I constantly practiced with blending options.

IDEA 2

Secondly, I progressed into the visualisation of brainwave activity imagined to occur within whilst listening to the music. I visualised my mind thoughts bouncing off the inside of my skull and this is what I aimed to translate through vectorised waves and circular wrapping methods. Though exciting and visually tranquil, it seemed to plain and lacking narrative undertone.

BITMAP TUTORIAL

This tutorial by Abduzeedo allowed me to experiment with photography by adjusting thresholds and applying a line effect to create a moire effect on the eye. This was a natural progression from abstract line (p.25) to more complex tonal work. In a sense lines in an ordered formation can represent the sound revealing the image from inside the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.

These textures were achieved though a series of hand-crafted tests. The intention was to create a texture fit for the icons and map of the Peloponnese. Spyros wanted to create a hand-made illusion by applying heavy brush textures to flat shapes. The watercolour/ink range proved not to be as effective as it failed to add a roughness and randomness to the final finish.

In the EU, schemes of geographical indications known as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), promote and protect names of quality agricultural and food products. Amongst many other products, the names of wines are also protected by these laws.

PGI products are closely linked to the geographical area in which they are traditionally and at least partially manufactured (prepared, processed OR produced), and have specific qualities attributable to that geographical area, therefore acquiring unique properties. Depending on their geographical breadth, PGI zones are divided into three levels:

SOURCES George Skouras from Domaine Skouras and Konstantinos Lazarakis, MW, have provided me with sources and current data. I am very grateful for their contribution. Greek Ministry of Agriculture, current data sampled during the period 2012 and 2013. New Wines of Greece website "Wine Grapes" by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and José Vouillamoz, published in 2012 "The Wines of Greece" by Konstantinos Lazarakis, published 1995 Data for PGI Region is as of February 2013, source http://bit.ly/greekwinelaw Data for PGI Districts is as of April 2010, source http://bit.ly/1diLnBS Great care has been taken to accurately analyze raw data. In some cases, I used my own best judgement. For example, the grape varieties were often named in Greek, without any further information. I suspect that some names that are only known locally were used in the official data. An example would be "Asprovergamo". I have also put Moschofilero and Fileri together in the percentage chart for the most widely planted grape varieties on page 1, but used the breakdown in the index. Both synonyms are used to refer to a group of clones with the same DNA profile. However, Fileri might also refer to a table grape grown in some areas of the Peloponnese.

Art working was a tough and vigorous process which required the rearranging of certain elements to fit different dimensions yet still appear the to have the same ratio in spacing. Though majoratively boring, the process taught me the ugly side of design which is necessary when undertaking large projects.

PRO FEEDBACK

Me Juan David Martinez I plan on doing many more do you think that data visualisation can be a stand alone career?

Maybe navy blue. It needs variation in colour as the different components overlap too much.

More information and more space and both radial graphics could be smaller too.

Red/yellow cards, nationalities, shots, goals per game etc... definitely smaller for sure.

More detail in the goals assists and shots for each player.

The silhouettes could be a little smaller.

It depends, in Colombia, there are so few people working as infographists, pay is very low. A week later I received con from Colombian designer Juan David Martinez, which encouraged me to continue this ongoing project for the throughout the summer season. This instant dialogue made it easy
