Client Brief

---

The client wanted a brand that represented artistry in the African market while maintaining a premium corporate feel which would aid them in the positioning of the company in relation to major music platforms such as Spotify and Tidal. The brand logo had to be versatile, functional, memorable and scalable as it would be applied over a large spectrum of scenarios (i.e. on merchandise, business cards, banners, billboards etc..)

Brand identity - Conceptualization

---

During the conceptualization stage an aesthetic vocabulary was determined between us and the client in order to ensure that we understood what the client had in mind. Some of the words included in this vocabulary were: ” solid, memorable, premium, African and artistic.” The client also mentioned that they would love the incorporation of an animal that represents Africa within the logo.

Brand identity - Execution

---

We decided to use a lion as the basis from which this logo would be created as we believed a lion best represented Africa as a continent. From here we had to decide how to add the artistic and corporate elements to the logo, this was a bit of a challenge but we made it happen. To define Phenom as a music platform, we decided to add headphones to the logo and to bring the corporate/solid feeling we utilized a monochromatic color scheme with a clean typeface that was both legible and functional enough to serve as an identity mark on its own.

Development - Web Application

---

We were tasked with creating an online music store that was simple enough for everyone to understand and use but powerful enough to rival the biggest and greatest music stores in the market. The Phenom music store was designed and developed with an ultimate user experience in mind. We started by designing a user interface that was familiar enough to not create a steep learning curve but unique enough to differentiate the platform from other platforms. The result is a stunning web application with powerful features.

Development - Website

---

We had to develop two websites to meet the clients brief. The first website is a static website that serves as a reception for everything Phenom. The website had to be both aesthetically pleasing and informative, so we divided the content into sections so as to not bombard the user with information all at once. We then selected a colourful colour palette with bright and vibrant colour combinations to create that aesthetically pleasing look we were aiming for.

The second website is a dynamic website that aims to provide mixing and mastering services for artists. This website had to not only be aesthetically pleasing and informative but it also had to be functional as well. The first functionality we were tasked with developing was a quote builder which would allow artists to create different quotes tailored for their needs. Attached to that quote builder had to be a payment system which would allow artists to pay for their quoted services.
