Business Card, A Work In Progress – Reflection

Posted by & filed under JMC 3343-995.

Here we go, design assignment #1. I designed a business card for FC Dallas – one of the original soccer teams from the founding of MLS. I knew I wanted it to play off the navy, red and white that is in the teams’ crest. The crest itself is very clean, and I wanted to reflect that in the business card’s design bringing in clean lines and a simple design. 

Thanks to the instructional video at the beginning of this unit, I was more than capable of doing what I set out to accomplish. I feel like I did a decent job of achieving that. After a couple tries, I finished with a product I felt proud of. 

Again, my little experience with InDesign from high school comforted me and helped me throughout this assignment.

Communications Strategy – SAP

Posted by & filed under communications, PR Pubs, strategy.

This blog post it going to be my doodle page for how I envision SAP’s next communication’s strategy, so please bear with me. I’d love to stick with the colors SAP already uses: It’s that really warm, egg-yolk/plum/sun flower yellow, contrasted with either black or white. (edit: still can’t find the right name for it. […]

While undoubtetly the No. 1 in Europe, SAP has tough competition especially in the North American market. Microsoft, Oracle and IBM are probably the company’s strongest competitors , but there is also some influence from companies like Hewlett-Packard, Adobe Systems, Bechtle and PSI, who are less focused on business software and more on hardware development.

Trynna be sloppy: Communication Strategy 

Posted by & filed under JMC 3343-995.

This is my attempt at being brief and sloppy…not necessarily my strong suits when it comes to writing. 

For the FC Dallas graphics I want to play off the navy, red and white that is so integral to the logo. Including the longhorn in some manner would be good too. I’d like the spread to be color driven integrating the three primary colors (red, navy and white in all of the designs). 

It all just needs to relate back the the primary logo and the essence of the brand. It should connect back to Texas, Dallas and soccer.
