DESIGN PROCESS

MOODBOARD

The design style is aiming towards a contemporary sporty, dynamic and abstract style and feel. The predominant colours are green and blue as it is more associated with health, physical activity, calm and trust. The warmer vibrant colours make it feel comfortable, aspiring, active and motivating. The style helps to convey the three keywords, dynamic, motivation and health.

LOGO INFLUENCES

Researched a variety of existing logos and came across these logos that helped inspire the use of the keywords and are simple, memorable, reliable, trustworthy and meaningful.

LOGO

The logo has shapes like sweat drops that is intended to look like people who are losing weight. They are arranged to reflect the letter W, which represents he initial letter of the name of the device, the shape, colour and exercising/perspiration. The red line motivated people to be determined and take action and the green and blue colours assures the target audience that they will benefit from this device and educated them about heath and dangers of not taking care of their health. the movement of the shapes helped reflect the keyworks and also makes the viewers feel like that they will become healthy very quickly. the Gestalt theory considered are continuity which is the red line that makes them read the logo as one. Proximity is the blue and green shapes grouped together and similarity is used between the two blue and green shapes, as they are positioned together and have a similar size.

RHETORICAL IMAGE INSPIRATION

For the rhetorical image, I collated existing ads that are sporty, motivating and aspiring to office workers who want to work towards having a healthy lifestyle and also guarantee that using the product will change their lives.

PACKAGING

The packaging is shaped similar to a suitcase and can easily open to reveal the device. The form also slightly reflects the shape of the device. The layout, colour and shape has taken on the style and shape of the logo, which helps to identify the product and branding by addressing the target audience and also consistently using the keywords. The colours chosen are taken from the logo and also inspired by most sporty packaging to make it simple and easy to understand. The information design is incorporated on the inside cover to make it more visible how to use the product step by step and enlarged the logo to encompass the package to create a experience.
