Production Technology: Simplify complex graphics into clean designs, combining multiple shapes to create new patterns. For flat applications, utilize printing techniques, while for three-dimensional applications, use 3D model files to produce 3D badges. The production process must consider various usage scenarios and technologies.
Design Challenge: Firstly, the school has a rich cultural and historical heritage. It's essential to extract representative elements and express them in tangible forms while maintaining a unified visual presentation technique. Secondly, integrating common aesthetic issues in art to achieve the perfect balance between artistic expression and practical application of the design work is crucial.
Research: The research and collection of historical and cultural information about the school yielded specific data for extracting design languages and elements. By delving into these elements, the school's visual identity was transformed into graphical representations, providing material for the subsequent development of cultural and creative products. This process established a comprehensive approach to school brand visual design.
Inspiration: The design integrates symbolic elements of the university's historical features and campus culture incorporating marine equipment and the school's historical heritage. The intertwining of wave-like lines forms a concise and dignified "70", complemented by the main building of the university and historical time points from 1953 to 2023, creating the visual representation of the logo design. The primary colors are blue and red, symbolizing the ocean and historical heritage.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2022 in Shanghai and finished in July 2023 in Shanghai, and was exhibited in Harbin Engineering University in September 2023.
Operation Flow: The design project spanned one year, encompassing anniversary-related graphic prints, multimedia displays, and cultural and creative products. Both the design timeline and quality were crucial. With involvement from multiple stakeholders, effective coordination and communication with school departments facilitated the successful delivery of the design on the scheduled anniversary day, receiving acclaim.
