Designer: Bruce Mau
Client: Art Gallery of Ontario
Due: May 15, 2008
Creative Brief: Design a "distinctive new logo that will represent the Gallery well beyond its Fall 2008 opening." Logo should capture "both the stability of the century-old institution and the forward-looking energy of the new Gallery."
(If that proves too challenging, refer to graphic design portfolio created while at OCAD, circa 1977.)
Creative Tasklist:
1. Open MS Word.
2. Choose primary font. Helvetica? Too advertisement-y. Verdana? Too webby. IMPACT? Done!
3. Art meets fashion: borrow colour palette from H & M Spring/Summer 2008.
4. Open MS Paint. Also, a serious bottle of whiskey.
5. Copy. Paste. Click. Drag. Over. And over.
6. LSD flashback!
7. Examine finished product. Worry someone might think it's a joke. Remember that you are very Big in Toronto and could probably shit out the letters AGO and get an award for it.
