Studio Brief 01 | Leeds Public Spaces | Sketches & Designs of the Popular Events

After choosing the Popular events within the city of Leeds. I began to do some sketches of the posters designs of the selected events that I had chosen: 'International film festival, International beer festival, and Leeds indie food festival'. 

 Below are some examples of some quick sketches of the following three events: 

 Leeds international film festival
 


 For the three sketches that I have drew, I wanted to emphasis the meaning of the word 'international' as Leeds show a variety amount of global films. Yet I wanted to bring in the 'fun' aspect of the festival in. To associate this kind of aspect I did some very illustrative cinematic equipment. 

 I added a global to represent the 'international' elements. To make my illustrations visually readable, I made these objects that all countries can understand like semiotics. 

 In addition I also put the logo of the event as the audience will be able to know what even is being celebrated. 





Leeds international beer festival
 

For the three designs for the beer event. I tried to express the classy yet trendy the event is. 
Especially to the target audience which this event is targeted towards to. The audience is range to 20 and above meaning the event needs to attract not only the younger generation, the older ones to. 

 I tried to reinforce the selection of beers which are available in this particular event by showing the different sizes of glasses. 

 The event also comes with food, to highlight this I believe it would be a good idea to bring finger food into this. For example: nuts in a bowl. 

 Then for the other design, I have also added the logo of this beer event. The logo has become a coaster for the beer glass to be on.



Leeds indie food festival
 

For the indie food festival, I found it challenging to express this well known and celebrated event on a poster. I had a bit of an experimentation with a selection of type of foods. But they looked to simple for an 'international' standard. 

 Then I tried to spell the name of the festival with the food. However, this was also quite difficult to create. Especially when I try to draw it digitally on the mac for the screen printing process. Due to the amount of detail put of the food, I believe this might be hard for the detail to come out on screen printing work. 

 Therefore, I believe I will not do this event for my final piece A3 poster.

 Overall, I would like to either screen print the 'Leeds international film festival' or 'Leeds international beer festival'. The reasoning for this is that I mostly like the designs that I have created for both posters. I will also be getting feedback from peers and tutors to also help me decide on which one to screen print for my final piece. 

 Once this has been decided I will start experimenting with colours for the screen print process and outlining the designs digitally. With a more define outline the line will be more prominent when against emulsion.

'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...
