Studio Brief 02 - Design Process - Public Information Leaflet Design Final Critique/Development

In this final critique based on the Public Information Leaflet, I did some mock-up leaflets from my previous sketches and ideas in my sketchbook. Here are some images of my first mock-ups of the public information leaflet designed based on child abduction / Stranger Danger.

These were discussed within our small groups, we each present our work that we did for this studio brief, I did my leaflet based on stranger danger for young children. Here I wanted the leaflet to have a friendly yet approachable image. In my previous sketches / designs I wanted the leaflet to be interactive for my target audience (children) as it is difficult to get them interested with a leaflet filled with information. Which will bore them as
soon as they start reading. In consideration to my previous idea, many of my peers said it would be difficult to make a leaflet interactive like pop-up, folds etc. And that the idea to make it would be ambiguous to produce, it would be more like a story book instead of the leaflet. Plus it would be even more difficult to produce as we have to make it the size, we were supposed to follow 35.5cm to 25cm.

Peers advice:

Good - using colours of the leaflet.
Redesign of Charley the ginger cat is childish enough.
Creative with leaflet folds.
Change wording on leaflet as children may not understand big words.
Good ideas, agree truly with the whole colour scheme for children
Good research into existing colour scheme for children leaflets
Not sure on the type choice.
Images / symbols are approachable for children
Good ideas but needs developing - good range of of mockups.
Shapes you've experimental with are nice

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? - 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...

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 04 | Final Design & Evaluation | Action against Animal Cruelty Campaign - Petection |

Final Design - Petection Adoption Gift Box Below are the finished photographs of the physical Petection adoption gift box. Evaluation In conclusion the design process of our Action against Animal Cruelty brief also known as satisfactory. Initially at the beginning stages of the brief we were unsure to either do something minimalistic or extravagant to produce for the final outcome of the brief. We wanted to make something which is able to make main consumers and new potential consumers the awareness of animals in cruelty (especially: cosmetic testing, medication/science, used for fur and adopt not buy.) One idea of final outcome was to create four seasons of animals magazine. The reason of this idea was that an editorial product such as a magazine will be able to convey the awareness of animals in cruelty. The second idea of the potential final outcome was to create an adoption gift box, with posters and a possible website mock-up design. ...
