明亮的微笑

MingYu which translates from mandarin means Bright Smile its the name of my made up college brand which i have created from both my imagination and love of everything east asian. Ive been asked to create a brand name, brand image, brand designs, brand logo etc etc..

Here's some of the stuff ive come up with so far... I chose do use these dolls as my logo character, this board shows the different stages of variation.This is my 'Brand Image' board showing what kind of theme im going for, what kind of customer im looking to attract and what my store would look like.

This is my 'Brand Logo' board, ive tried to show different logo shapes and colours i thought worked well together.

This is a board which i done on illustrator to show variation designs of tags, bags and pencil cases around the 'MingYu' brand.

'Keeping up with the Kardashians'

Since when did the Kardashian twins Kylie and Kendall get so old?
Im not really into classing celebrities as style icons or anything becuase most of them have stylists and most of them arent anything special to be honest.
BUT, 15 year old Kendall Jenner has been named a 'style queen' along side Gwen Stefani, Elziabeth Olsen and afew others. It's actually creepy how old Kendall looks for a 15 year old though. I would be lying if i said i knew absolutely anything about Kendall in the fashion industry besides modelling but i guess shes happy to be getting publicity without her sisters.
Khloe tweeted "OMG Kendall is a style queen!!!!!!!!"
Could be one to watch..
