Design Decision/Approach: I chose to display an informational brochure that I created for Navy Federal Credit Union. I am a member and also an employee. My designs are centered around my employer in hopes that I can become familiar with all of their products, departments, and information. Doing so gives me the opportunity to see and speak on all that Navy Federal has to offer to their members.
In the process of my design, I chose to use the Navy Federal colors as the main color in the brochure. The reason for this design is because the color is not too bright, it is fairly muted and does not deter the eyes from the information on the pages. I also chose this color as the main color because it is associated with Navy Federal. I do not have to create an identity for Navy Federal, they already have one. The decisions I made regarding the graphics in the informational brochure was that I really wanted to show that Navy Federal values the service that they provide to our military members. I wanted the graphics to speak to our military members and let them know, Navy Federal will always be here for their financial needs. |
