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.

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...

'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 - 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...
