DESCRIPTIONS OF PROJECT

What is it About?

Chris asked me to produce a visual identity that reflects his brand, including logo, business card and label tag.

CONCEPTING

Logo Design

I knew what kind of logo is suitable for him through discussion with Chris, ‘Elegant’, ‘Fashion Forward’, and ‘Simple’ were used to describe Chris Ran Lin’s brand, so we decide to use a serif typeface expresses his standard of quality. And I started the drafting process directly.
