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

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...

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...

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...
