Study Task 01 - Type in Context Visual Presentation notes

In this Study Task 01, we were put into small groups and where told to present some of our brief pictures that we collected over the summer break. This included some of our best pictures of our located place with the different styles of typography. 

 For me I took pictures of Arosa, Switzerland and it is one of the places which the popular typography was created. Many of the typography I saw whilst walking round the small town and the mountains in Switzerland were a lot of signage, name of shops and posters. There was a lot of unique typography. Then I also mention in my presentation that I also went to the Lake District in England, I took similar walking and hiking pictures of way finding signages with the type of typography that they had imprinted on it. 

 FEEDBACK After the presentation, my peers and tutor gave me some suggestions on what theme I can focus my photographic book on: 
  • They liked to see the differences between the Swiss and British typography in different countries/environment. 
  • How there could be some language difference in the typography so German alphabet to the English alphabet. 
  • Again focusing on the Swiss graphic design of typefaces. 
  • Or comparing type of the UK and Swiss. 
  • International Rural Signage.
Here are some images of my presentation that I presented:

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my  pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text.   Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock.

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...

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...
