JAMES MARTIN - LOGO LIFE - EP#2 - MY LOGO PROCESS
Hey Mates.
I told you i would be back my friends - haha - and it's been a load of fun putting this video together for you. In this little moving picture i give you a brief overview of my entire logo process, from how i get clients, all the way through to concept creation.
I will be going into more detail on each process overtime but thought it would be valuable to see my break down from client discovery all the way through to concept creation... and everything in between.
If you have any questions just let me know in the comments and i will be sure to answer as soon as i can. Also if there are any particular elements of my process you want me to film in deeper detail just let me know here in the comments.
Hope you enjoy it.
JM

JAMES! This is killer. You're such an inspiration and this was super insightful. Buying those pens ASAP. Would be really interesting to see a future episode detailing your creative process---like a rundown on how you decipher client descriptors when they're trying to translate to "our design language." A deep dive into your mind-reading abilities per say. Bet that'd be visually stunning for a video, and somewhat insane. In a great, kind of magical way of course :) Can't wait to see more.

I think this is a great introduction to your overall process. I would love to see more of the idea forming portion of the process with your word mapping and how you come up with overall ideas. Really digging into the core of the brand and communicating it. Also talking to clients as well. Would love to hear a live session of you chatting with someone or a past client.

Great process video. Thank you for listing out the process that was clutch! I am excited to see your more detailed processes in later videos. I personally have trouble with narrowing down the elements out of the word mapping process and therefore the rapid prototyping can be a little all over the place at times. So if you can work into your videos how you narrow the field of elements and any tips for not overdoing the process that would be awesome. Great work man!
