(logo development)
Being aware of Kanopy’s educational purpose, I focused on the idea of “connection” and “projection” in the early phase of logo development. Then I was inspired by the grid composition in film stills. They appear to me as expanding lines that grow outwards. They also create projectional space that goes beyond the border.

The new identity expresses enrichment and sparkling rays of thoughts. It contains three lines meeting together, reflecting Kanopy's mission to provide an engaging community that connects people and fosters education. The center expanding horizontal line is a representation of Kanopy as a borderless world of cinema. The form's round corners add a sense of flexibility and trustworthiness to the refreshing new identity.

(outdoor strategy)
Kanopy will spread brand awareness through mass marketing. Since Kanopy collaborates with public and academic libraries, its target audience would be the public but specifically people who might have interest in films and learning. The outdoor strategy aims to spread brand awareness, we will be focusing on public spaces where people casually go to or pass by, as well as locations that students would gather around for study.
Some examples are public and academic libraries, public parks, campus bus stops, college shuttle, coffee shop, museum, outside of dorm, etc.

The app focuses more on community features and reviews. It is important to create a convenient and user-friendly app because many patrons depend on mobile phones to have access.

Instagram is the best platform to promote Kanopy because it fits the demographics perfectly. I was able to be super playful to emphasize key events, such as credit-free streaming and the celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s birthday.
