Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Inspiration and Ideas

In this blog, I began to start my small publications idea by deciding what kind of important subjects that are within Design Principles. However, I will be only selecting some relatives parts of this topic matter within my publication or the most useful parts. That students or the audience what to know the basics of them.

 For my research I went back to the Design Principles lectures that our Year tutor (Danny) taught us previously. By reflecting and refreshing the information he taught us. I created a blog to hold the main factors of design principles information that I believe which are important to know as a Graphic Designer within my small publication. I have also got more important information of design principles online from websites. Here is an example of what important topics I will included in my small publication:The elements of design & the principles of design. However, if you want to see this in more detail, or my research that I will put in my small publication it will be on my blog and the final design small publication physically produce.

 For the visual side of my small publication, I have looked into some other Graphic Designer Artists work in which they have styled and layout their artwork, especially on type, layout and format. By this I can get an inspiration of how their art style can help me design my small publication.The two Graphic Designers that I have mostly looked into as my inspiration for this brief are: David Carson and Andrew Bannecker. I chose these two 
as I believe their style of work is suitable for this small publication. Carson has a very simplistic yet captivating style of work The way he works with typefaces is extraordinary as it creates a good harmony along the page or poster. This is show in the poster called ‘End of Print’. The way he has styled this is a combination of different typefaces along 
with neutral colour scheme. Whilst the other Graphic Designer Bannecker is more of the Illustrator Graphic Designer, again he is quite minimalistic yet he has more of a colour scheme of bright colours. Which can be useful within the Colour Theory section. 

 Finally, I have collected some images from the internet & pinterest on how I will bind my small publication. I think I will experiment a bit with the elastic band binding as it easy yet effective way for putting a book together.

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...

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

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...
