Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money Critique Feedback

During this critique group we observed and gave feedback to each others 'Licence to Print Money' design ideas, contextual research and methods of experimenting.

Here is feedback that I got off my peers:

Lots of my Peers like the Casino/Gambling theme of currency idea. They told me to look into more/research of the Casino colours e.g - Chips colours, table, flooring, interior and decorative aspects with in a Casino.
Some told me to try and expand on the idea because it is good for a universal audience and it is Casino chips etc is very universal/international currency.
One liked the idea of the British pound one with the season theme, especially how it creates and image if you combine the notes together.
The replacement of the Queen would be the British Royal Family Arms (Lion and Unicorn) either could be behind or at the front of the note.
With the Season theme they liked how four different season can represent a four different notes (£5, £10, £20 and £50).
As there is four different seasons and notes, I could experiment with different paper stock and find a suitable material texture which portrays them and expand with that.
For the Casino one instead of making the money currency a note form, make it into an actually card (playing cards) form instead to be a bit different and unique.

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...

Jan Tschichold - Grids

Feedback from Tutor of Publication After receiving feedback from my tutor, he informed me to use grids within arranging my layout of my publication pages. This will keep my images and text in a consistent manner, thus making it visually professional. To achieve this precise layout, I will research on Jan Tschichold Grid System. This will allow me, to understand this type of matter of using a grid.
