Grid Option:

Fig 2.1 Grid Option

Margin = Top: Bottom: Left: Right = 50px

Columns = 6

Navigation Bar:

After confirm the grid, the next thing is make a navigation bar.

Fig 2.2 Navigation Bar 1

Fig 2.3 Navigation Bar 2

Fig 2.4 Navigation Bar 3

In the concept of navigation bar 1, I tried to make the lightning symbol as a button and when the mouse roll over those options will be pop outs. In navigation bar 2, I make those options into a form of the lightning symbol. In navigation bar 3, I tried to make a bar that will pop out when the mouse roll over. But all these ideas being rejected as Mr. Vinod mentioned that the pop out thing how will it present to mobile device users or tablet users.

So I created navigation bar 4 that literally navigation bar 3 with no pop out function and some adjustment on the placement.

Fig 2.5 Navigation Bar 4

After that, Miss Li Lian mentioned that it was too distracted then I created navigation bar 5.

Fig 2.6 Navigation Bar 5

At the finalization of the brand guideline, I added two arrows to make it go to previous and next page.

Fig 2.7 Navigation Bar 6

This navigation bar can shows out where the page audience are. For example, when the audience is at Logo System pages, the word of Logo System at the navigation bar will be bold.

Feedback:

-Navigation Bar need to be obvious but not be too eye catchy.

-The Brand need to be having more images or else will be  too boring

-The showcases of Logo System is good

---

Reflection:

In this task, I learnt that a brand guideline is need to be very clear to make the audience know what they are looking at. And also make it more visualize that audience will not be boring when looking it. The showcases of the logo also need to make it clear with the details to make the audience understand the guideline.
