OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 08 | Student Starpack Awards 2018 - Luxury Family Range of Cans for Tea or Coffees

Introduction
In the UK, consumers drink over 60.2 billions cups of tea every year and some 55 million cups of coffee every day. The UK tea industry alone provides 0.02 percent of the entire country's annual turnover. However, we have come a long way since instant coffee or straight-up builder's tea were our go-to choices.

 Tea infusions with exotic ingredients and additional health benefits are increasingly popular and with the cafe culture boom, nearly a fifth of the population visits a coffee shop on a dial basis. Consumers want that premium tea and coffee experience in their homes. The purchase of premium, organic, ethically-sourced and rare varieties of teas and coffees by UK homeowners is on the rise. 

 A wide range of teas, coffees and infusions from every corner of the world are now sold as gift items or decorative containers for the home. Rare blends, single origin mixes and infusions are presented and kept fresh in beautiful specifically tins. 

 The Brief
  • To design and develop a new, exciting and eye-catching range of at lease three tins for either teas or coffees. 
  • Students will need to create a fictitious brand targeting the quality retail sector, including duty free areas at airports and higher-end retailers such as John Lewis, Selfridges and M&S. 
  • This new range is to be designed primarily for purchase as a luxury gift pack. 
  • Consider when designing your range (minimum 3 in range) marriageability as a set of three and that the labelling, graphics and overall presentation ensure they are family of luxury products. 
  • When developing your designs consider re-usability of the tins for secondary use within home.
  • To meet food standards, the contents (tea, coffee or infusions) would, if going into production, be sealed separately in foil bags and presented in the secondary pack. 
Points to consider
  • Creative use tin
  • Marriageability as a set of three luxury tins 
  • Innovative use of decorative and graphic elements 
  • Re-usability as a secondary pack
  • Shelf impact 
  • Consumer appeal as luxury gift packaging
Materials to be used
  • The set of tins must be tinplate as the core element but your models can be made of any appropriate materials to represent the metal components. Similarly, any appropriate material can be used to represent the tin contents.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this  brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.  Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung  Leah Chen  Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read?

In this Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? We need to use the range of fundamental design principles that we have been taught: Colour theory, frame & format, type & grid... Which all of them gives us a inform comprehension of the building blocks of graphic design.  Overall, our aim of the end of the Studio Brief is for us to design and produce a small publication (booklet, leaflet, etc.) that collates materials which, in turn, can communicate key factors of design principles to the reader.  These are some of the key factors of Design Principles: Gestalt Principles Colour Theory: Systematic Colour Colour Theory: Subjective Colour  Grids  Figure/Ground  Balance  Alignment  Proportions  Canons of Page Construction White Space  I may choose to look at one of these and expand it, or all of these or even a selection of these subjects which I want to present within my small publication that I will develop and ...

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...
