BACKGROUND INFORMATION

INSPIRATION

This proposal comprises of a re-brand of the Wendy Gibbs School of Ballet dance school that I have attended since I was nine years old. Dance is something I hold very close to me as it has allowed me to express my feelings both physically and mentally.

Dance is a performance art form, and is an expression of feelings, symbolism and movement. Rhythm and dance have been closely linked in practice and history and is an infinite source of movement. The figure 8 symbol symbolizes infinity, and represents 8 different dance styles the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance offers to its students.

BEHIND THE CONCEPT

The paint brush stroke concept reflects the binary of the versatility of movement as well as its free flowing nature of dance. The figure 8 symbol can be linked to the infinity symbol that reflects never ending possibilities, as well as a reflection of the 8 various dance styles the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance has to offer. This design concept is a dynamic identity that holds a systematic process for identification, as each style of dance has its own unique colour that is individually painted.

Due to the concept’s infinite nature, every stroke is different yet still holds a system of recognition and structure. Each dance style is reflected through the layering of strokes to create the infinity or figure 8 symbol.

COLOUR PALETTE

Colour in design highly subjective as colors have an extraordinary ability to influence emotions, mood, and perceptions. Colour can attract attention, both consciously and subconsciously which plays a major role in the correct reflection of the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance brand. Orange symbolizes the versatility and edginess of modern. Light purple symbolizes the softness and emotive state of lyrical. Pink symbolizes the elegance and femininity of ballet. Dark purple symbolizes the strong character of strength and conditioning. Blue symbolizes the fluidity of hip hop. Burgundy symbolizes the origins of jazz. Turquoise symbolizes the calmness and relaxation of pilates. Red symbolizes the loud and dramatic movements and feeling of excitement of Tap.

TYPOGRAPHY

The typography used in the primary logo as well the body copy used in promotional material is Brandon Grotesque. This font was influenced by the geometric-style sans serif faces that were popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The idea of circular patterns can be related to the figure 8 symbol that holds two geometric symbols that are linked together. The notion of infinity is carried throughout the circular identity. Brandon Grotesque holds a functional look that is thin yet holds black weights as its small x-height that restrains its form however provides a distinctive elegance that style of dance can reflect.

PRINT MEDIA

Print media transmits information via physical objects and is a great way to physically showcase design in the palm of the readers hand. The branding system of the Wendy Gibbs School of Dance can be applied to many forms from small to large scales such as business cards that allow a road map to opportunity and are the most effective direct marketing tools.

Business cards are the first impression of the brand system that is also a continual networking method in its self. The Wendy Gibbs School of Dance design has been applied to business cards as a visual representation of a systematic design that holds structure and highlights each dance faculty. Promotional posers were also created to be used for print and social media posts for Facebook and Instagram.
