So as a way to gather some more understanding of Cyprus and inspiration for my corporate identity, I thought what a better way than to go out and indulge myself in my surroundings and enjoy the sunshine. I explored some familiar places in the hope to see them differently for inspiration for my logo and colour scheme to apply to my project. I also set out to ventured unexplored areas of Nicosia to gather more understanding on how to represent Cyprus. I took my research findings and picked out new cloud combinations I found interesting to show my tutor along with traditional patterns and deign I found in people homes, on items for sale in markets and tourist shops.
I began by looking at the architecture of buildings and outlines of the skyline and terrain of Cyprus. Heres some of my shots I took throughout the day
Colour combinations and traditional patterns within Nicosia and Cypriot items.
Later in the day I came across a bar with some boardgames and fun activites to do amoungst friends to socialise around. I found some plastic shapes that I created these variations of logos and shapes out of from my previous findings in the day. These represent the mountains in Cyprus and the two sides of the Island (Greek and Turkish) to form one (Cyprus), some also represent the significant iconic animal of Cyprus which is very similar to a ram.
Some more development and discussion is still needed to reach my final concept. I hope to work on my logo designs with a more conceptual view of Cyprus and representing it in a simple format along with informed colour choices.
