Brief 6:OUGD603 DSM Branding Brief

Today we were given a brief from DSM as well as a talk. They are 2 men who used to work at Elmwood and have set out on there own to create there own studio, named Do Something More. 

Although we haven't yet been given the brief from them we were given a company, job that isn't to appealing or is considered to be boring and we are to brand this to make it more appealing. The job i received was a retirement home. 




A retirement home – sometimes called an old people's home, although this term can also refer to a nursing home –  is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Typically each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Additional facilities are provided within the building. This can include facilities for meals, gatherings, recreation activities, and some form of health or hospice care. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium.
A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.

Retirement village – or retirement community is a housing complex designed for older adults who are generally able to care for themselves; however, assistance from home care agencies is allowed in some communities, and activities and socialization opportunities are often provided. There is no single definition of a retirement community, but some of the characteristics typically are: the community must be age-restricted or age-qualified, residents must be partially or fully retired, and the community offers shared services or amenities.
Additionally, there are different types of retirement communities older adults can choose from including:
  • Independent living communities, which offer no personal care services.
  • Congregate housing, which includes at least one shared meal per day with other residents.
  • Mobile homes or RV's for active adults.
  • Subsidized housing for lower income older adults.
  • Leisure or lifestyle oriented communities or LORCs, which include various amenities.
  • Continuing Care Retirement Communities, which are further defined below

Cedars Village 




The logo for this brand is very simple but also very corporate looking which is something that shouldn't be associated with a retirement home.
