From the meeting in NYC

Since we have been talking a lot about the meeting with Lars and Gary in New York City, and we have explained that we have some words attached to figuring out a new design, you might as well just get the words. Right here:
  • Artistic
  • Feminin
  • Martha Stewart
  • Rough structure
  • Folksiness vs. interesting
  • Combine elements
  • Artsy
  • Family vs. sophisticated

For inspiration we should look at:
  • www.massmoca.com
  • www.tanglewood.com

The new 'product' of our internship will be a corporate design/branding suggetion.

Laerkes 'final' design sketches

Suggestion six:
Here we also tried to incorporate some of the things we talked about on our meeting in New York. This is for instance the more textured artistic look of the menu, the interessting cut of the images, and the more 'organic', soft and dynamic design.
Suggestion seven:
Here is the winner by now. This was was liked the most by all parts. The thing with the map in the background is really good, because it is a map of Hudson, and that may give the users an idea of where HOH is situated even before they get there. The use of colors is simple but yet very good and powerful. We will try to work on developing this sketch further. Also adding more old vs new design elements. For instance we should try to incorporate the quotes in the banner. Also maybe try to change the colors slightly.

Mettes suggestions for a new design

Suggestion one:
General comments saying good use of colors, but at the same time perhaps to patriotic. Good mixture of old vs. new in design. This design was not chosen because of the fact that it may looked to boxed and 'political'.

Suggestion two:
We discarded this one ourselves because somehow the colors and the banner couldn't really work good together with what the HOH represents.
Suggestion three:
Again the old contrasting with the more modern. Here we tried to work with softer forms. We discarded this one ourselves.
Suggestion four:
Here we tried to incorporate the things we learned from our meeting with Gary and Lars in New York. Mainly this was just trying to use more texture and to seem more artistic. So we used some paper from the opera house as the background, which illustrates that this place is living and creative. This one was generally liked quite good.
Suggestion five:
This one has just been changed slightly from suggestion three.
