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.

'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...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

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...
