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...

To conclude the final results were great. I would highly recommend Kati...

Jan Tschichold - Grids

Feedback from Tutor of Publication After receiving feedback from my tutor, he informed me to use grids within arranging my layout of my publication pages. This will keep my images and text in a consistent manner, thus making it visually professional. To achieve this precise layout, I will research on Jan Tschichold Grid System. This will allow me, to understand this type of matter of using a grid. Jan Tschichold Jan Tschichold was a typographer, book designer, teacher and writer (2 April 1902 Leipzig , Germany – 11 August 1974 Locarno , Switzerland ) . Tschichold's Grid System Fibonacci & Golden Ratio Fibonacci sequence ratio 8:13 links to the Golden section. This sequence is not only evident within design but also nature. 1.62 - Forms the basis of paper sizes and its principles can be used as a means of achieving balanced designs .
