I thoroughly enjoyed this as the first project of the semester. I have experience with designing both logos and brand style guides, but oftentimes those experiences come with strict criteria to follow. This project allowed me to fully express my creativity by designing for a fictitious publishing company. I was inspired by the phrase “The pen is mightier than the sword”, credited to novelist and playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton. It seemed fitting for a publishing brand, and I am overall very pleased with the result.
