Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Sketches

In this Blog, shows my initial rough sketches of my small publication layout. As you can see it is very minimalistic and simple way of laying out a small publication. Which was inspired by mostly images of the internet and pinterest on how others have layout their books. 

For the first sketch idea, I decided to go with a small book size within my design for my small publication. I used a theme of circles as it portrays a perfectly round shape, which is a line that curved so that its ends meet. And every point on the line is the same distance from the centre. Which will appear on every page of the small publication due to the theme of it. Them I will make more circles and join them together to make it look like the circles are opening. 

By this the circles will have both information and illustrations of Design Principles. However, I need to make sure that the circle big enough to hold and store this information and drawing. This is something in which I need to be cautious of because the design principles information is vital for the reader compared to illustrations which just give a visual idea on what it is trying to explain. 

If the circles not an appropriate size within the pages and the small publication. It will complicate designing matters and information matters for me, This is why experimentation is important to do before anything could go wrong.

I have also included the binding technique I am going to use which is the rubber band binding style. It will either be holding the pages on the side like a spine or another way for holding the pages together like a holder.

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...
