Contest Brief

Create a clean, modern, and versatile logo that represents the overarching brand, Focus Video Academy, while allowing for future scalability as a course provider. The logo should evoke professionalism, creativity, and technical expertise, with subtle nods to video production.
Key Elements:
Typography: Modern and readable font with a slight creative or technical flair.
Primary text: "Focus Video Academy."
Optional tagline: "Master the Art of Video Production."
Imagery/Symbols:
Incorporate elements related to video production, such as camera lenses, aperture rings, focus icons, or video frames.
Subtle visual cues for "focus," such as a target or depth of field.
Style:
Minimalist yet impactful.
Modern, tech-forward design with clean lines.
Color Palette:
Neutral base tones (black, white, or gray).
One or two bold accent colors to represent creativity and energy (e.g., teal, vibrant blue, or gold).
Format Requirements:
Scalable design for different applications, from small icons to large banners.
High-resolution vector formats (AI, SVG) and web-ready versions (PNG, JPEG).
Additional Consideration:
Ensure the logo is versatile enough to be adapted for sub-brands or course-specific designs in the future. For example, future courses could have slight variations of the main logo with course names included (e.g., “Focus Video Academy: Advanced Lighting Techniques”).
2. Graphics Design Brief
Objective:
Develop a cohesive visual identity for the academy, including assets for the main platform and individual courses. Graphics should align with the logo’s design and create a consistent user experience across all marketing and educational materials.
Primary Graphics
Platform Branding:
Website Hero Banner:
A large banner for the homepage showcasing the logo, tagline, and visuals of video production equipment (e.g., cameras, tripods, lighting setups).
Category Banners:
Branded banners for main course categories (e.g., "Beginners," "Advanced," "Specialized Skills").
Course Materials:
Module Covers:
Design a reusable template for course modules that includes:
Space for module titles (e.g., "Lesson 1: Camera Basics").
Visual icons or graphics relevant to the content (e.g., a camera for introductory modules, a light setup for lighting lessons).
Video Thumbnails:
Create a standard thumbnail template for course videos with bold titles, the Focus Video Academy logo, and background graphics.
Promotional Assets:
Social Media Banners:
Designs for platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube to promote courses or special offers.
Course Completion Badge:
A small graphic or badge for students who complete a course, e.g., "Certified by Focus Video Academy."
Icons and Overlays:
Custom icons for sections like “Quizzes,” “Assignments,” and “Resources.”
Lower-thirds overlays for video lessons featuring the instructor’s name and the course/lesson title.
Style and Mood
Overall Style: Clean, professional, and slightly tech-inspired.
Imagery: Use elements of cameras, focus symbols, or abstract visuals representing creativity and storytelling.
Consistency: Maintain a unified style across all assets using a shared color palette, typography, and design elements.
3. Target Audience
Demographics: Aspiring camera operators, videographers, and professionals aged 18–45.
Experience Level: Beginners seeking foundational knowledge and professionals aiming to advance their technical skills.
Brand Tone: Empowering, creative, and professional.
4. Deliverables
Logo:
Primary logo for Focus Video Academy.
Adaptable variations for sub-brands or future courses (e.g., Focus Video Academy: Cinematic Storytelling).
Horizontal and vertical versions.
Black-and-white, color, and transparent background versions.
Graphics:
Platform branding (website banners, category headers).
Course material templates (module covers, thumbnails).
Promotional assets (social media banners, course completion badges).
Icons and overlays for lessons and video content.
File Formats:
Vector formats (AI, EPS, SVG).
Web-ready formats (PNG, JPEG).
Editable templates for future use (PSD, Figma, or AI).
5. Additional Notes
Timeline: Specify your ideal deadline (e.g., 2–3 weeks).
Examples: Provide any inspiration or reference materials for styles or elements you admire (e.g., similar education platforms or tech brands).
Feedback and Revisions: Outline the process for draft submissions and revisions (e.g., initial draft, feedback, and two rounds of revisions).
6. Tone and Inspiration
Think of Focus Video Academy as a mix of creativity and technical expertise. The visuals should appeal to aspiring creatives but also feel grounded in professional video production.

The logo will primarily be used on the website and other digital assets. Use yellow as the bold accent colors. Use the same font for the tagline as the main text. Please refer to generic designs for inspiration. The logo should primarily emphasize creativity, making it visually stimulating and dynamic.
