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 deliver the brand as it communicates the use of order visual hierarchy.

In conclusion, I think if I did more research into my colours that look appetising than unappetising (green) as it gave most people a mix feeling, and would probably make this logo more successful. Some people understood the outline of typography being like an American diner or even better suggesting it appears like icing on a doughnut. However, some didn't like the outline, as a more filled and bolder one would give more impact as a logo. I designed some packaging design with my logo on the Krispy Kreme products, however during the day of final presentation the images wouldn't open, but I believe it would of given a clearer visual of it as it would work on a big and smaller scale. Most liked the mixture of the Sans Serifs and Serifs as they help order visual hierarchy; it looks friendly and welcoming, which is an easy to approach.

My final typeface design is effective because they both are equally legible to read visually and physically. Like if there was a children’s book made for a blind child, the mum can read it out loud. Whilst the blind child can read along to with the Braille on it.

Overall, I personally believe that our presentation was a success as we had, images to support our development, sketches, digital work, lots of research based on the company's background, history and profession, colour chart, meaning of the chosen typography and images that were applied on T-shirts, banners and posters. Also our powerpoint was made excellent, thanks to one of my group members, it was clean, clear and organised so we could see and talk about each of us could the slides. What made it better was we didn't read from any script, thus highlighting how everyone in the group were working together, also I do believe our teamwork was successful. Probably one of my best team working sessions that I really enjoyed as everyone in the group, listen to everyones ideas and were able to share thoughts and design ideas, also being able to combine everyone designs together.

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?

In this Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? We need to use the range of fundamental design principles that we have been taught: Colour theory, frame & format, type & grid... Which all of them gives us a inform comprehension of the building blocks of graphic design.  Overall, our aim of the end of the Studio Brief is for us to design and produce a small publication (booklet, leaflet, etc.) that collates materials which, in turn, can communicate key factors of design principles to the reader.  These are some of the key factors of Design Principles: Gestalt Principles Colour Theory: Systematic Colour Colour Theory: Subjective Colour  Grids  Figure/Ground  Balance  Alignment  Proportions  Canons of Page Construction White Space  I may choose to look at one of these and expand it, or all of these or even a selection of these subjects which I want to present within my small publication that I will develop and ...

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...
