OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 07 | Student Starpack Awards 2018 - The Future Milk Bottle

Introduction
Over the years the common plastic milk bottle as become bland and unexciting. Some consumers may still remember the nostalgic sound the traditional glass milk bottle that was delivered by white-coated milkmen and women, driving milk floats and delivering to your doorstep. 

Now the milk containers all look the same both style and shape, fit for purpose but with no distinguishing features or character. 

The Brief

The challenge for this brief is to design a next generation of milk bottle packaging in the form of a 2-pint fresh milk bottle made from plastic. The solution still needs to be practical, easy to use and be handled by everyone including the elderly and children. 

It is important that your design includes primary function of being easy and stable to pour the contents, without mess or spillages, and for the opening to be resealable to maintain fridge lifer and freshness. Your solution should not only have 'stand out appeal' in stores but also look good on the breakfast table. With more consumers shopping online for their groceries, transportation of fresh milk products from manufacturer is also to be addressed in ensuring that your design solution can withstand the rigours of filling, packaging and delivery to both retail outlets and the consumer at home. 

The visual presentation and styling of this new plastic milk bottle needs to reflect a quality product to the consumer, one that is convenient, easy to use and looks good in both store display and in the home. 

Points to consider
  • Visual appeal and shelf impact
  • Easy handling by a variety if age groups
  • Functionality 
  • Effective dispensing and resealing 
  • Safe and secure delivery to the consumer purchasing on line, and to stores from manufacturer
  • Filling, storage and display 
Materials to be used
For your mock ups use an appropriate material to represent plastic.

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...
