OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 06 | Research | YCN Student Awards 2017/18 - KFC Bucket Design

Ideas
To create a design for the KFC bucket to contemporise it, and raise it to iconic status, the plan is to begin by looking at existing and previous designs of the bucket. One potential idea is to design four buckets that will be seasonal and celebratory. For example, as celebrations for Halloween are more popular today, a design for this will be created which will depict pumpkins, cobwebs, brooms, a witch’s cauldron (with chicken pieces flying out). The background will be orange, but will contrast sufficiently with the pumpkins. A Christmas design will show a Christmas tree with friends sitting around, eating KFC this is inspired by The Japanese and how they celebrate Christmas these include fried chicken and a birthday cake. The Easter design will be illustrated with eggs and chicken similar to an easter hunt, inside the egg will be fried chicken than chocolate. For the spring season there will be a picnic design suitable when the flowers come out KFC will be used to celebrate for a new start. Whilst the Summer season will be exemplify of holidays which objects such as BBQ setting instead the illustrated people are eating KFC. 

Examples of Buckets that have celebrate illustrations which will have inspire my bucket design:

Secondary Ideas
Another potential idea is to design two limited buckets that will be celebrating KFC in general and the success of the brand. For example, inspired by the olympics themed packaging designs. For example Coke a cola and MacDonald Olympic themed packaging,  these are usually design in a colour vector of silhouette of people in movement or a stick figure. The colour scheme represent the olympic rings colours (red, yellow, green, blue and black). This multi coloured concept can be used to represent people in society as like the mascots in the olympics.

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...

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...

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...
