Design for Screen - The Design Process

The Design Process for the Brief
  • Emotion & experience key element for the designing process of design for screen
  • Problem solving and provoking emotions 
  • Examples of these elements are through adverts and competition brief (John Lewis adverts christmas special)
  • Packaging up a message through a story - which links to what we are doing for a interface design 
  • Experience should be rewarding to the user using the user interface 
  • Enjoyable experience like physical experience (newspaper etc). 
  • Optimising experience 
  • Existing pages which have user interface functions 
  • Personas factions characters - putting yourself in the target audience shoes 
  • Conduct interview, approaches them as observation of using the user interface 
  • Focus groups on views 
  • Identifying advantages / disadvantages of the user interface 
  • Designing for the target audience 
  • Is it for a different country (Globally)? Is it suitable amount of money that people or the target audience afford? Premium, economy etc? Look and feel special or suitable for the target audience 
  • Interface for company, What is the size of the company? How large is the budget? 
  • Invent some characters who would interact with the user interface that you've design 
  • What motivates them, general information? Specific goal? Essential time or day to day experience? 
  • Familiar to the user interface (all ready exists) 
  • Idea generation 
  • Come up with ideas after research 
  • Wire frames, sketches, small animations, mock ups 
  • Demonstrate on how the user interface works or function.

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...

'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 - 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...
