typography

-





The typography is a key feature when it comes to branding the app, as it will be the thing to stand out and represent the brand, making it noticeable and something that people will remember and associate with my brand. I wanted to create a fun and bold theme that would be carried throughout the app, but also to keep with feminine audience so chose the font ‘Chalkduster’ on photoshop for my designs.  With typography I used my colour wheel to play around with what colours look best on certain backgrounds. 


I want to create a fun, bold, 90s aesthetic throughout my app, using different shades of pink to stick with the girly target audience.

 Below is a prototype of a page I will be creating for my gossip content. The word 'goss' will be flashing to engage the audience making them want to click through the content.

Branding of my own App

When starting to design my branding I wanted the imagery of it to be reflective of the name, a little bit punk and rebellious due to the demographic and the links to empowerment for young girls to use creating a fun platform. I started the branding off in Adobe Colour, looking through all the different shades that I could and wanted to use I then applied this to my work, for example: I thought the pink fire would display a quirky fun style and the old English writing was something I played around with whilst sketching to get an idea of how it would look in once in photoshop, which I was happy with the result.

For the actual logo I wanted to design something in a 3D effect so used photoshop to help me do so, I created the ‘GRLZZZ’ name in a 3D...

The ad could be used on small banners that pop up on social media platforms or even on news/lifestyle websites. The design concept of the ad is the dollar signifies a ticket, which is a pass to access the “GRLZZZ Club” meaning the app. Next to the pass is an IPhone displaying the front page of the app so that people are aware it is a mobile application. The pink colours used help it to stand out and create a girly aesthetic with a fun vibe.

Competitors:

Cosmopolitan is a worldwide fashion magazine for woman, the website is very similar in terms of the context that I want to portray in my app. What makes my app different from their website, is the fact it will all be in the palm of your hand, all on one platform. I tested out cosmopolitans UK’s app in order to see what actual competition is out there, from what I found their app doesn’t actually provide any form of interactivity with its user, you just have the monthly published issue of their magazine in which you can download and read. The Sun newspaper and well known British tabloid newspaper have recently adding a channel to the discover page on snapchat, allowing their news and gossip to be targeted at a young audience in a fun creative way. Their website also contains a lot of information allowing you to click onto the genre that you want, filtering it down to exactly you want to see,...
