Molecular process.
Researching into how a Co2 laser cutting machine functions in order to inspire some visuals for the logo of Laserbean, the process is giving me some really nice visual ideas that can represent the company brilliantly with a minimal aesthetic.
› Electron impact excites vibrational motion of the nitrogen. Because nitrogen is a homonuclear molecule, it cannot lose this energy by photon emission, and its excited vibrational levels are therefore metastable and live for a long time.
› Collisional energy transfer between the nitrogen and the carbon dioxide molecule causes vibrational excitation of the carbon dioxide, with sufficient efficiency to lead to the desired population inversion necessary for laser operation.
› The nitrogen molecules are left in a lower excited state. Their transition to ground state takes place by collision with cold helium atoms. The resulting hot helium atoms must be cooled in order to sustain the ability to produce a population inversion in the carbon dioxide molecules. In sealed lasers, this takes place as the helium atoms strike the walls of the container. In flow-through lasers, a continuous stream of CO2 and nitrogen is excited by the plasma discharge and the hot gas mixture is exhausted from the resonator by pumps.
I will be focusing on particle activity for this project as this means working with circles which allows me to create clean sleek design.

Muscle beaver.
Really vibrant colours used for these funky poster designs, made for 90's rap parties, colour is a key to the aesthetic for our project, we need to pick colours that stand out and have high impact we have decided not to go too bright thou as to not come across tacky. We would still like to design a sophisticated considered aesthetic as to not draw in the wrong crowd.

Beever.
Very contemporary booklet design from Beever, a hair products company which utilises type to create lovely modern aesthetics for male grooming products, I found this book at my clients shop and it got ideas running all over the place for how I could better my deliverables, especially my products, not only should i use simple type and layout it made me consider how the information will sit on the products and how I can relate the layout to the subject matter.

Numbers.
As stated previously I want to use a well crafted number 5 in a serif typeface, to give a up market and sophisticated aesthetic for my Gent project, although the logo is nice I feel adding this idea will boost it's aesthetic massively, the number 5 could be used for stamps, posters and interior design, I want to create it in a circle with the burgundy shade I have chosen for the project.
The number 12 used on the front is similar to the ideas I'm having, when placed on the black background it creates huge impact for the design and leaves a traditional well crafted aesthetic.
