OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 08 | Research | Student Starpack Awards 2018 - Luxury Family Range of Cans for Tea or Coffees

Research/images of current and previous Tea tins or Coffees
Before commencing this brief it is essential to begin looking at current and past designs of tea or coffee tins. This will help guide which tin shapes which are appropriate and practical to contain tea bags or leafs and coffee in a hygienic matter. 

Particular tins that were researched of the brief were the following: M&S, Betty's, Selfridges and Harvey Nicholas. These specifically brands were selected due to the briefs objective is to create a 'Luxury tea or coffee' tin, therefore it is important to research high-end products. 
The images of the tins are below:

By referring to these types of tins all of them as very similar circular and long. Whilst the design atheistic are very simple and contemporary expect to the Betty's design which has more traditional patterns and illustrations. The only difference of these tins are the Selfridges packaging is made of paper or fabric material thus giving the design a more of a luxury approach. These design aspects are to be considered while designing, despite the design factor there is not much variety of a secondary/multi-usage when the content of the tin is finished. This is another element of the tin that needs to be consider when the consumer purchases the product. The main audience of this kind of product are tea/coffee lovers it is significant to cater for their preference this maybe of functionality, materials, distribution, multi-usages and design. 

Colours of the tins can also be a big factor on how it attracts the consumers attention, patterns, shapes, illustrations are a very common theme for high end tea and coffee tins. Thus this is another consideration to think about in the design process of the tea design.

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical  small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second  development work was successful as the colours of the type has  been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the  pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one  on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper  stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the  visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is  appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context.  Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge  and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme,  as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...

Objectivity - Subjectivity

Evaluation: Overall, my final evaluation including looking at my peers/year tutors feedback of my logotype. Has shown that I needed to do more research into my colours, as I tried to stick with the original colours of the current logo of Krispy Kreme. As my last critique group told me to stick with them without changing it. Some liked and disliked the outline of the typography as some say it looked like icing, whilst others said it would be better if it were fuller so it makes more of an impact. Most of the comment was about the bad colour choices of the Green as it has connotations of an industrial, chemical and unhealthy look. But some said it could have connotations of high sugar as for a donut. Everyone recognised the doughnut shape for the logo, some saw the neon letter as an American diner look as my critique group told me to stay with the retro look. One of my others peers comment, that the use of the contrast between the Sans Serifs and Serif typography is appropriate to d...
