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.

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...

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

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...
