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.

'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...
