Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Self Evaluation

Overall, during this brief I personally had a sceptical experience with this brief. This is
because I believe I wasn’t very fond with brief Eventhough I did like how it was quite an
open brief, that us the students could design whatever we wanted for the chosen artist,
but the live brief was quite strict like not being able to use the artists name nor the
title of the song.

I found it quite difficult to come up with ideas for this brief, thus making me lose my time
mangement for the designing stage. I believe I stuggled with this brief as I couldn’t really
make up my mind which designs were best and suitable for the artist. Again I was being
very indecisive during this brief. I was very indecisive whenever deciding to chose my
physical drawing or my digital drawings but after few trials and errors. I finally got the
results I was looking or.

My Secret 7 record sleeve design is based on, the song ‘Clearest Blue’ by the artist Chvrches. The design of this record sleeve that I have created is inspired by the lyric music video and the lyrics within the song ‘Clearest Blue’. The chosen line from the lyrics of the song I chose was ‘You were the perfect star’. To me personally the song portrays to me an image of a cry dance image; because of this my main focus of the sleeve was the broken, smashed star as it implies that this person or potential lover is no longer this ideal figure. I wanted the star to have a sort of abstract blue gradient effect to emphasise the colour of the cry/tear image. The multiple outlines of the shape enhance the effect of an image of the sound waves.

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...

Study Task 08 - Typesetting

In this session, we had to look into the re-typeset of Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale using a postmodern approach and a modernist approach. Lewis Carroll's - A Mouses Tale Original The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll "Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. "It is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:— Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, “Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you.” Come, I'll take no denial, We must have a trial, For really this morning I've nothing to do. Said the mouse to the cur, “Such a trial, dear sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.” “I’ll be judge, I'll be jury”Said cunning old Fury; “I’ll try the...

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...
