Study Task 02 - Symbols Final Feedback/Evaluation

In this critique group we analysed our symbols we created for the our chosen Olympics sport. The chosen sport that I redesigned the symbol for was Trampolining. Here we had to consider the following of what the my design symbol portrayed: Audience, Scale, Contrast, Impact and Clarity.    

Here are some of my designs done digitally and hand drawn: 





Overall, my critique group thought my designs were appropriate for the sport (Trampolining). However the design of the figure with the split legs apart, the motion of the bounce looks like spikes than a motion. 

But the spinning action on the other designs looked much better, especially with the spinning motion of the flip. 

The trampoline in the bottom of the figure looks better in the sketch form as its more square, than the digital rectangle shape and circle shape. 

The symbol might not be clear, as a few people could not recognise the sport without me telling them. 

Feedback from Nanami (Fellow peer)

1. Is the design treatment still effective at different scale?
As the shapes are simple and bold, the symbol as a whole would not lose clarity on any scale. However, on a large scale the boldness of the block of the colour black maybe slightly overpowering.

2. Is the use of colour appropriate?
The colour choice of the black and white is effective as it adds simplicity to the design. Which incorporates lost of the shape. Also, it allows fro development and easy application.

3. How would the design be produced and applied? (Use/Production)
The design may not be compact enough to be easily applied to certain platforms. However, because of the simple/bold shapes it would be easily to applicable to certain platforms such as posters/flags etc. on a larger scale.

Evaluation

In conclusion, I believe my symbol design was appropriate for this study task. I got a lot of good feedback and advice on how to make my design more effective and recognisable. If I developed my symbol design further by editing the size if the figure, like make it less bolder and make it more thinner. By this it could work on a variety of scales.

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 ...

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...
