Very slowly getting somewhere with my logo although still struggling to settle with anything I like enough to stick with. Currently working on type hierarchy within my logo as I feel my first name is more important to me than my last. I tried taking away my last name but I’m not happy with those results so I’ve just put my last name in a lighter font.

I was watching a documentary the other day on the BBC called "Back in Time for Dinner". It was made up of several parts. It was about a modern day family who had to eat and live like they did in each decade. It started off in the 1950's and goes un until the 1990's. There was one part I really found interesting and that was during the 1980's where bottled water became popular. It just made me think, when people say "advertising has no affect on me", companies are now able to make us pay for fancy bottles of water which normally we can get water for free. All due to branding and advertising. The documentary goes on to say that people took an interest in buying bottled water as it worked as a way to boast, for example "I am earning so much money I can buy something which you can normally get for free". This just goes to show how much advertising and brand reinforcement has an affect on people.
