Design for Screen - Final Design

In conclusion, final product of this brief was successful. I am very pleased with the results of both concept, design and animation prototype. Even though there was some delay of deciding on which concept to commence on, this was between either redesigning an inflight personal television layout or creating an inflight entertainment app. In the end, with the help of peers and tutors, an app that has similar functions as the inflight television seemed more intriguing and appropriate to produce.

I did make this brief more difficult for myself as I decided to create my own Airline, which created more work for myself. This mainly included it’s logo, typeface and colour scheme, than taking an existing Airline. However, I enjoyed it as it was an extra challenge for me to do. I especially found it hard when deciding which colour scheme would be suitable and an appropriate typeface. The typeface has to be simple, yet clear for the user to read especially when the Airline that I created is made globally. Therefore, it needs to be readable for an international audience to visual understand. But overall, the final design aspects came out well on the screen and the illustrator vectors made it easy to create icons and so on.

In addition, the After effects animation prototype came out very well. However, the making process was the longest part of creating the app promotion video and visually demonstrates how the app works. The videos online helped a lot, especially when I wanted to do more advanced effects for my animation. Below is screenshots of the completed After effect app animation.

'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...
