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

Research/images of current and previous Tea tins or Coffees
Before commencing this brief it is essential to begin looking at current and past designs of tea or coffee tins. This will help guide which tin shapes which are appropriate and practical to contain tea bags or leafs and coffee in a hygienic matter. 

Particular tins that were researched of the brief were the following: M&S, Betty's, Selfridges and Harvey Nicholas. These specifically brands were selected due to the briefs objective is to create a 'Luxury tea or coffee' tin, therefore it is important to research high-end products. 
The images of the tins are below:

By referring to these types of tins all of them as very similar circular and long. Whilst the design atheistic are very simple and contemporary expect to the Betty's design which has more traditional patterns and illustrations. The only difference of these tins are the Selfridges packaging is made of paper or fabric material thus giving the design a more of a luxury approach. These design aspects are to be considered while designing, despite the design factor there is not much variety of a secondary/multi-usage when the content of the tin is finished. This is another element of the tin that needs to be consider when the consumer purchases the product. The main audience of this kind of product are tea/coffee lovers it is significant to cater for their preference this maybe of functionality, materials, distribution, multi-usages and design. 

Colours of the tins can also be a big factor on how it attracts the consumers attention, patterns, shapes, illustrations are a very common theme for high end tea and coffee tins. Thus this is another consideration to think about in the design process of the tea design.

'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...
