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.

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text. Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock.

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star which has broken the heart...

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...
