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.

'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...
