Design Development
At the start of this assignment I was prepping for Grandma’s Marathon, so I named the hosting company of this event The Iron Grandpa because I thought name sounds funny and ironic. I also wanted to create a band identity for the event as well and since the event would take place in Duluth, MN I wanted the brand name to represent Lake Superior, so I name it The Superior Iron Man.
Mood Boards
These were the possible directions that I was debating on. I ended up choosing the blur & grain with Duotone effect.
