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.

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...

Objectivity - Subjectivity

Evaluation: Overall, my final evaluation including looking at my peers/year tutors feedback of my logotype. Has shown that I needed to do more research into my colours, as I tried to stick with the original colours of the current logo of Krispy Kreme. As my last critique group told me to stick with them without changing it. Some liked and disliked the outline of the typography as some say it looked like icing, whilst others said it would be better if it were fuller so it makes more of an impact. Most of the comment was about the bad colour choices of the Green as it has connotations of an industrial, chemical and unhealthy look. But some said it could have connotations of high sugar as for a donut. Everyone recognised the doughnut shape for the logo, some saw the neon letter as an American diner look as my critique group told me to stay with the retro look. One of my others peers comment, that the use of the contrast between the Sans Serifs and Serif typography is appropriate to d...
