Look and Feel (continued) Logo Use

The primary logo is ideally used for all print and online purposes. The center font is a distortion of the ‘Airplanes in the Night Sky’ font and should never be changed. The shading is part of the the tradmark and should not be altered in any way. Do not distort or re-shape the lip shape for any reasons. If background is too distracting or is colored any shade of pink, use the secondary logo which has a feathered white glow to help differenciate. However, providing adequate white space surrounding logo is

Advertisements will be different according to where the ad is and who the target audience is. Be sure to research the magazine or store location where ad will be placed to get a feel for the target audience. For magazines with older subscribers, simplicity is key. A good example of a clean yet peppy ad is to the left. It advertises makeup and gives some extra information about to brand. Always ad more informaion and less imagery in ads for older audiences.

Print (continued) Advertising Here is an example of a side bar ad on facebook.com. These should be ‘action packed’ with imagery so that viewers are one click away from being on the website. Simply adding the tagline is enough at the bottom, with the logo implimented somewhere in the design.

Print Christmas Ads Christmas ads should always have this same style of snow falling, and the information at the bottom in the snow. Adding a gradient and snowfall to secondary font ‘Stars in the Night Sky’ produces the christmas text for the title. Christmas ornaments should always be hanging off the name and the logo should be placed near the bottom.

Imagery These are examples of images to be used for all advertising in any place RE:APPLY is represented. High contrast images should always be clean yet flashy and attention grabbing. Elements such as the Lips Pattern and Stripes background should be implimented in a natureal, non distracting manor. xHot Pinks, black, white, and other secdonary colors must be present and no obviously diferent colors can be used (i.e.: bright green, blue, yellow...etc) Most imagery for RE:APPLY s used outside of the store (online, magazines and signage). The only images used in the store are the images of the brand-name logos we sell.

17

Because the target audience is so large (ranging between 13-40 year old women) take time to consider the image choices. If the viewing crowd is younger, use imagery of younger girls in the 18-25 year old ranges. Depict either high fashion models in up-to-date clothing or a group of girls together, laughing, shopping and having fun. When the targeted audience is older woman, use the 25-40 range ages. Always use more upscale and high fashion model images.


18


Packaging The main boxes used are the BlendBox, Small Square and the Skinny Box. There is a shopping bag for in-store purchases as well. Because RE:APPLY has such a wide variety of sizes from all different brands, the boxes have to be a ‘one size fits all’ to hold all different shapes and sizes of items at one time. The lids of the boxes have a window to see the products inside. The bases are pink with the signature lip pattern around the top edges. The lid must always have the logo facing foward when on.

19

-The Skinny Box holds thinner items like eye liners, pencils and mascara. The lid is adjustable to hold longer items or shorter ones. -The Small Square is used for eyeshadows, small pallets and jewelry...etc...really anything too small for the BlendBox. .


Packaging -The BlendBox is used

mainly for shipping the assortment of makeup the customer

chooses online and has ‘BlendBox’ written accross the bottom window in white.

Storefront The exterior of our storefront is usually in a mall or large shopping center setting. The front should be comprised mainly of glass windows with a clear view to the store interior and products. The window displays are changed bi-monthly. Materials, supplies, photos and instructions are shipped to the store in preparation for each window display.

Nationwide Store Features: -The 3-D illuminated sign must always be in the ‘Brushed’ font in white lettering. -The signature Lips are divided in two for the door handles. -Interior walls are always painted signature ‘Petal Pink’ -Thick black frames should always support the windows and double swinging glass doors.

Website

Homepage

The website will be changed regularly to update the new products we recieve daily. Because RE:APPY has no one line of a certain product we are constantly adding information and new products. The site should be changed every few months with new ads, features, promotional material and graphics. The only feature that should stay extremely consistent is the BlendBox functionality. The website should be a place where all signature patterns, designs and ads are featured. It should be a mini in-store experience for the web surfer.
