Look all over the place to me. No balance, looks hap-hazard. Colours could work. Like to see it in context maybe?

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 19:45

yeah... i know what you mean.
how bout this... with maybe a little more work on the can.

Narate · 28-09-2005, 19:46

You're ugly.

Narate · 28-09-2005, 19:47

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 20:00

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 20:29

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 20:43

this....

briljant oranje · 28-09-2005, 20:56

it looks like a GCSE project.

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 21:17

thanks for the GCSE remark!(and i understand)
i know it looks kid-like... but have you had a look at any Chinese design lately!
http://www.onatoko.com
http://www.997metroshowbiz.com
...
i wanted the Typeface to be childlike and fun.
the colour is bright and very in tradition of the Incipid colours they have in their everyday lifes...
with regards to advertising...(kitsch is that the word)
and i wanted to keep it simple.
and... its a pet food/toy shop.
Maybe gcse is what i sould be looking for...?

lose the teeny/flower/disco/bullshit bubble font.

pet buffet in Shanghai? thats fucking sick man. I don't agree with eating pets.

MikeTC · 28-09-2005, 21:33

Yeah, it has potential.
Don't mind the colours, or the cheeky form and shape.
But I don't think it's much like the "chinese design" that you talk about. The visuals in those sites are still structured in some loose way.

Saying that though, The "cheeky HK style" has always seemed like a poor man's "japanese" design to me. Almost but not quite there... Try sourcing some good japanese design and go from there...

Perhaps I'm pigeonholing each nation... but bah...

Also Try customising a different font... That's a free one right? - I've seen it in a lot of places, and it's never been used well...

cocknose · 28-09-2005, 21:54

cheers for the comments...
and this is the easy bit!!!!... HA... getting everything translated into manderine and then layed out is what i'm not forward to doin...

Sounds like a restaurant that serves up Dog.

Dusteh · 29-09-2005, 06:06

I think its not too bad... but I feel that you are overusing that font. Maybe just keep 'pet' in the gimmick font and change 'the, buffet' to something more stylish. Also think about repositioning the word 'the'

Better...? (well its not really hard to be better)

Scott · 30-09-2005, 12:29

nah i disagree i quite like it, prefer the 2nd one you did, where the pet buffet are in a line and 'the' is above it. Although i dont think the extra little paw on the right hand side is needed.
