Design for Screen - More sketches

Within this blog, I have sketched out some more layout ideas for my two ideas (inflight phone app & new orderly design for the inflight TV screen.) for the design for screen brief.

The first designs for the inflight TV screen, I have quick sketch layout of the display screen. The sketches below convey on how I imagine an appropriate yet suitable format of the screen. This includes with the relevent functions, for example: language, entertainment, information, communication, food & drinks, internet, news and so on. I have tried to make the layout of the TV screen as simple and mininalistic as possible. This is due to the target audience being a global market of this type of user interface design, that means icons, symbols and semiotics is significant for an international perspective.

The second design for the inflight phone app, I have quickly sketched out some ideas on what the app would look like when opening it. The designs includes: a stick figure with a suitcase, the globe, a plane etc. When opening the app, it takes the user to four options (food & drinks menu, playlist of movies/TV series, language setting and so on).The app will also include a personal acccount, which the user can login whenever they are going on a flight. The account will have their username and password so they can re login to their flight account. Thus making their journey more convenient for them whenever they are travelling for one flight or a connecting flight. It will also record their history just in case they want to remember what they selected in their previous flights that they previous attended. Again this app will be similar type of having a global audience, therefore the semiotic should be visually readable no matter what language the user understands.

'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 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts The shop that I wanted to r...

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...
