HMV bag- Evaluation

For this assignment we were asked to create an icons of pop bag/poster for HMV, we were given a list of all the top 100 artists of the past century and had to pick one to base our poster on, I picked U2 The Joshua Tree and used the image of all the band members together to show that they were icons of pop.

We were then asked to create a paper bag with our designs on it, I couldn’t pick just one artist to do so I used typography art to create the HMV logo using the artists names, I did come up with the idea to do the same thing except with a transparent collage of all the album arts but it didn’t go according to plan so I scrapped the idea.

I personally think the design was pretty well made and I don’t think I could have done any better, I think that HMV would use this idea because it stands out to the music lovers and also shows all the top artist of the last century. I chose this design because I think it stands out other then other normal artwork.

Originally I had drawn the design by hand to look and see what the logo would look like, I then used adobe InDesign to create the main HMV logo and then used Photoshop to create the bag. The artwork was created to specific specifications as it had the correct resolution for printing and the correct dimensions.

I also created another HMV typography logo except with a black background instead of a white one.
