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.

'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 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page.  The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical).  To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally.  The siz...
