Study Task 02 - How Do You Read? - Colour Relativity

"There are no ugly colours; there are only ugly colours in combination." - Paula Scher

Following from the group discussion, we had to revealed our least favourite colour, this requires to build on the session's overview of colour relativity and consider where that identified 'bad' colour could work in a combination with another colour.

To presented our comprehension of this, we will have to use the Pantone reference as a guide and chose another colour that, alongside black and a hue or tone of our 'least favourite' colour. This must work effectively within the scheme for a simple children's book.
My least favourite colour is Pink, so I had to think of another colour that would work well with 'Pink' and 'Black'. So here are some of my experimental colour swatches, that I could use for my final design for my simple children's book cover. The image is below:

Pink - Pantone 2037 U (same).
Black - Pantone 165-1-7 C (same).

1) Grey - Pantone 2330 U.
2) Grey - Pantone 2332 U.
3) Grey - Pantone 2334 U.

1) Orange - Pantone 22-1-7 C.
2) Orange - Pantone 4-1-7 C.
3) Orange - Pantone 7-1-7 C.

1) Yellow - Pantone 1-1-7 C.
2) Yellow - Pantone 2001 U.
3) Yellow - Pantone 2003 U .

1) Purple - Pantone 42-1-7 C.
2) Purple - Pantone 47-1-7 C.
3) Purple - Pantone 49-1-7 C.

Here are images of my experimental colours for the children's book:

OVERALL THE FINAL DESIGN

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text. Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock.

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...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page. The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical). To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally. The siz...
