Design for Screen - Evaluation

To evaluate my Design in Screen, I believe I did very well for a beginner of this type of brief. Even though at the beginning and the mid point of putting the animation together was the hardest yet challenging part of the design process. 

The decision of choosing between the inflight entertainment personal television or inflight entertainment app idea was quite tough to choose between. The reasoning for this was because, there was a tie vote between the two ideas and I was happy to any of them. But in the end, with the help of some peers and tutors, they advised me to do the app idea. They said that most inflight entertainment systems on the plane are quite advanced and up to date. But having an app, which allows the user to pre look and book what the passenger wants on the inflight television is more interesting and convenient. Therefore, with this idea I research more on app design and the previous research that I collected was more to the personal television. 

Originally, I was going to create this app for an existing Airline. However, I made a challenge for myself and created my own Airline Company. This is more designing to do, especially when I need to make a logo, find a typeface and create a colour scheme for the my Airline Company. This did not take as long as I expected, the only part of this that took time was deciding on the logo and colour scheme. In the end, the design of my Airline Company came out well. I am very please with this part of the design. 

When starting on the animation part of the brief. In the brief it informed that one of the deliverables was to produce an after effects prototype for our user interface design. Therefore my prototype will be demonstrating how the app with function by using a stop motion animation program. This was the most difficult part of the brief, as a beginner of after effects program this part was the challenging. I wanted my animation to look quite professional, as my design for the app is aesthetically professional appearance. In University, we only got taught the basics of moving shapes across the composition. However, I wanted to do some more advance animation movements for my app. Therefore, the online video tutorials helped tremendously but this took most of my time when learning and producing at the same time. In addition, it was difficult adding sound to the sections I want it to be in the animation. 

In conclusion, the best part of the brief was definitely the design process of the app creation. As well as I was able to overcome these problems and was able to finish the final product for the brief. If I have more practice with after effects, I might do these animation in future briefs. Especially, for using the program to demonstrate how the final product can be used. For example: demonstrations instead of PowerPoint slide show.

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...

'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...
