Morning at the MET




Friday morning we were assigned to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to aid our inspiration for our own branding range. Being so huge, we went to a couple of exhibitions which sparked out interest including, the modern and contemporary art, Egyptian art, arms and armour, 19th century photography as well as the PUNK fashion exhibition. 

I have been toying with the possibility of two pathways - one to brand an alcohol range, labels and boxes for spirits. Or album/music related set. So at the time, I kept an interest with ancient utensils and cutlery, in hope to extract an element I could use for bottle design. I also kept an eye out for colour schemes, photographing any composition which had a palette which I was particularly drawn to.


Colour Story Boards

I got a bit carried away with the eyedropper tool, and made multiple colour boards from my favourite pieces from the MET. From this, I can see that I am drawn to a cooler palette, a lot of swatches being based among the more blue and green hues - but often with the pop of a complementary colour. 

This kind of composition is one which I can explore for my final brand.
