Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money Ideas/Initial Sketches

In this blog, I have roughly made some quick sketches on getting an idea on how to base on a particular theme. These were: a nature theme, precious metals theme and gambling money theme based on the cards symbols.

I have also done some layouts of my banknote design in the front and the back. So I can get a physical and visual idea on what I will be designing and printing on my banknote. Instead of the Queen of England face being on the banknote, I thought it was appropriate to put the British Arms on the Banknote which are the Unicorn snd Lion either on the back or the front of the note.

The nature theme banknote will consist of the different seasons these are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I will try and get paper that also portray these then screen printing my designs on it.

The precious metals will consist of Sliver, Bronze, Gold and Platinum. I will use metallic colours to convey this idea when screen printing.

Finally, the Gambling idea will consist of the symbols of playing cards (Diamond, Clover, Spade and Hearts). It will also be in a playing card shape than a banknote shape. Again this may be printed in metallic colours on black or white card stock.

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...
