Studio Brief 01 - Wayfinding Development/Feedback Critique

During this session, we went into small groups of 6 to present our work that we did for wayfinding, I did my wayfinding based on my student hall, Sky Plaza. Here are the feedback from my peers in my group who examined my work:
  • Good - using colours of the building.
  • Consistent use of arrows.
  • More creative signage.
  • Maybe change the colour of the building.
  • Good ideas, agree truly with the whole playful, kids area.
  • More modern, mature colour scheme.
  • Possibly don't limit colour scheme too much, could make it look too dull.
  • Good research into existing colour scheme.
  • You have achieved your aim to make it look less childish and look more modern.
  • The concept of using the building colours is strong and colour coding works well.
  • Not sure on the type choice.
  • Good ideas but needs developing - good range of of mockups.
  • I agree that the colour scheme is very playful and I can understand you made it more sophisticated.
  • Shapes you've experimental with are nice, but I agree with everyone. Don't limit your colour palette became it'll end up to dull.
  • Looks like more of a clinical centre than a student accommodation for a student. 
Evaluation

Overall, most of my peers believed that the redesigning of my student halls, Sky Plaza were appropriate to the wayfinding brief. From looking back at the feedback from my peers has given to me. I have tried to follow their advice on how to make my wayfinding more modernised for students. As the current colour scheme is quite childilsh and looks like a children play area like Wacky Warehouse. I tried to make my wayfinding have a theme, like examining the colour of the building of Sky Plaza. However, when I produced this within my mock ups, my tutor pointed out that it could look very clinical rather than a student accommodation. Some of my peers suggested that I could use one of the current colours of the original colour scheme from the company 'Unite Students'.

 Here are some of images at the bottom which demonstrates my development and mock ups:

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...
