Design Production for Print//Vector/Logo Design.



Spent part of the day creating some vector-based illustrations, inspired by notable traits, symbols or objects within each of Wes Anderson's films. Before starting to design, I made a list of the instant symbols that came to mind for each of the films:

BOTTLE ROCKET

* Marijuana leaf
* Gun
* Plaster
* Dollar Bill

RUSHMORE

* Bee
* Beret
* French flag
* Rushmore 'R'
* Bicycle
* Love triangle (play on words- heart in triangle?)

THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS

* Adidas logo
* Feather
* Razor blade
* Vinyl/LP
* Dudley blocks (neurological test blocks- for establishing patterns of behaviour)
* Cigarettes

THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU

* Shark fin
* Guitar
* Submarine
* Boat on sea
* Snorkel set
* Team Zissou logo

THE DARJEELING LIMITED

* Bandages
* Lime
* Indian flag
* Snake
* Death symbol
* Louis Vuitton logo 

FANTASTIC MR FOX

* Fox silhouette
* Apple
* Fox tail
* Banjo
* Dried grass stalk
* Diggers

Obviously, I just made a start with the designs, but, to be honest, I wasn't really "feeling" them- the map designs created a couple of days ago, being pictograms avoided the childish danger area, but I don't feel that this designs are really reflecting my target audience (perhaps it's my style of drawing as opposed to the vectors themselves?) I will definitely keep them in consideration for a later stage, but I need a new change of direction- hit a bit of a wall today and need to keep experimenting, as well as getting lots of work out and making decisions efficiently for the module hand in in just a few day's time.
