Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money: Digital Work

In this blog, shows my sketches being turned to vectors on Illustrator for me to experiment with colour on Photoshop.

I have experimented with the vectors by layering each one of them on one another (layering effect). I’ve done this to get an visual image of how the colours work on one another. As the process of this making a new currency for money is not digital work but using the traditional printing method which is screen printing.

By practicing this layer effect with colours on Photoshop, I can define which colours of the outlines of these vectors will stand out more against the different types of textured papers that I will mostly have some trial and errors with when printing the vectors on the Screen printing screen with the images being meshed on it.

I will need to make the outlines of both the number and symbols on the currency in quite a high resolution so no small specks will be shown when I put the ink through the screen mesh.

Here are some examples of vectors images that I have outlined from my sketches that will be the currency’s image or face of the banknote. Again following from my theme of nature notes, precious metals, gambling banknotes.

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 09 | Development - Sketches & Ideas | OOHDEER Brief - Pitch A Papergang competition!

Inspirations By considering examples from previous Papergang boxes, Paperchase's Collection and Muji's minimalistic approach. Japanese origami has greatly inspired the theme for the Papergang box. The images below convey the influence of the decided theme/pattern for the Papergang box. Both Origami Cranes and Stars are very simple yet vividly attractive especially how both origami pieces are three-dimensional. This could be an authentic and popular trend for stationary products. Initial Sketches The initial sketches are illustrations versions of the origami stars and cranes from the images above. The idea of these illustrations were to make them imitate the real origami pieces by keeping them three dimensional yet emblematic . The stars and cranes can be more distinguishable this way for consumers to recognise them to the real origami. Illustrator Vectors After deciding which illustrations looked ideal as the r...
