Studio Brief 02 - What is a Book?

Studio Brief 02 - What is a Book? - Ideas & Inspiration

Continuing on from my previous blog of my peers and second years giving me some examples on how I should visually and conceptually present and layout my Horoscope book. I started researching some information about Star signs, elements (fire, air, water and earth), weaknesses & strengths, personality etc online. Then again like my previous design principles small publication, store what information and facts that I would like to be in my

Horoscope book that I will produce.

For inspirations for my Horoscope book, I started looking at some Horoscope books online: Google Images, Pinterest, Instagram etc. As well as how they layout their information and images of the star signs based on Horoscope aspect. The colour scheme that regularly occurred was the a very out of space yet galaxy colour scheme. Which has also been mention by peers and has inspired me to do a similar sort of colour scheme for

mine. However, my colour scheme will have more mystical and dreamy appearance with a slight bit of the galaxy colour theme.

To help me get that kind of that mystical yet trendy dreamy effected,I looked into a Graphic Designer Illustrator, Andrew Bannecker. Which was an inspiration for my other previous publication for this module for colour as they are very galaxy looking artwork. Johanna Basford the Illustrator who gives an appearance of mystical fairy like gold foil

fantasy and finally the Graffiti Artist Banksy, as I could use his stencil kind of style within my Horoscope book.

Also my Year Tutor (Danny) showed me an example of a previous student who also did the same Horoscope context that I am doing. The images of the book will be on the design board. Thus this has given me a good idea to approach this. Again it is very similar to

the visual design that I wanted to do.

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...

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...

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 04 | Final Design & Evaluation | Action against Animal Cruelty Campaign - Petection |

Final Design - Petection Adoption Gift Box Below are the finished photographs of the physical Petection adoption gift box. Evaluation In conclusion the design process of our Action against Animal Cruelty brief also known as satisfactory. Initially at the beginning stages of the brief we were unsure to either do something minimalistic or extravagant to produce for the final outcome of the brief. We wanted to make something which is able to make main consumers and new potential consumers the awareness of animals in cruelty (especially: cosmetic testing, medication/science, used for fur and adopt not buy.) One idea of final outcome was to create four seasons of animals magazine. The reason of this idea was that an editorial product such as a magazine will be able to convey the awareness of animals in cruelty. The second idea of the potential final outcome was to create an adoption gift box, with posters and a possible website mock-up design. ...
