Study Task 05 - How Do You Read? - Canons

In this session, by building on the introduction to canons of page construction lecture, in groups we made a spider diagram based of a summary on the rules and laws of Graphic design. 
  • What do they achieve?
  • How helpful are they? 
  • Can they be constraining?
  • How do you think we should work within them?
Here is the image below which presents our ideas of the rules and laws of Graphic Design:

Colour:
  • Appropriate use of colour theory.
  • Contrast of extension.
  • Contrast of hue.
  • "Temperature, Saturation."
  • Complimentary contrast.
  • Simultaneous.
Grid:
  • How a page is structured.
  • Bringing balance.
  • Repetition and Consistency gives guidance.
  • Alignment bring order to page and aids how readable information is.
Shapes:
  • Typeface - scale, legibility, conveys personality/mood/characteristic and communication.
  • General geometry - simple = easier to understand.
  • Visual understanding.   
Format:
  • Reflect experience on i.e. type of different paper.
  • Perception of information - print publication. 
  • How we process information - screen fitting and adapting.
Awareness of Figure and Ground:
  • White Space - Important when bring eye to an image.
  • Balance of figure and ground can make image be seen more clearly.
  • Tension/Relaxation.
But Everything has a purpose!!

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this  brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.  Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung  Leah Chen  Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

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...

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 04 | Final Design & Evaluation | Action against Animal Cruelty Campaign - Petection |

Final Design - Petection Adoption Gift Box Below are the finished photographs of the physical Petection adoption gift box.  Evaluation In conclusion the design process of our Action against Animal Cruelty brief also known as satisfactory. Initially at the beginning stages of the brief we were unsure to either do something minimalistic or extravagant  to produce for the final outcome of the brief. We wanted to make something which is able to make main consumers and new potential consumers the awareness of animals in cruelty (especially: cosmetic testing, medication/science, used for fur and adopt not buy.) One idea of final outcome was to create four seasons of animals magazine. The reason of this idea was that an editorial product such as a magazine will be able to convey the awareness of animals in cruelty. The second idea of the potential final outcome was to create an adoption gift box, with posters and a possible website mock-up design.  ...
