OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Initial Ideas & Feedback | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Brainstorming ideas for Brief


Initial Ideas
During our group discussion with Leah (collaborator) we brain stormed some potential ideas that we collected together which we could possibly produce for our brief outcomes. The initial idea was to creating a publication regarding the British-born Chinese individuals like ourselves to celebrate our culture. In addition for a BBC perspective this can become personal project for us as our time at university was place for the two of us to embrace our cultures. We also want the publication to contain tidbits and some interviews regarding matters, but keeping it to a humourous undertone or one that is not that formal.

Feedback - collected by Leah
  1. Prefer polaroid as a medium for photograph because it’s not structural in comparison to photographs taken in the studio setting; not serious, not magazine style.
  2. I think quotes from conversations will be better to use for the content rather than questions and answers.
  3. A picture says a thousand words, so it’s important where you photograph and how well you photograph.
  4. Things that would be interesting to know: how you integrated into the different cultures, how you adapt (e.g. special supermarkets).
  5. What culture you’re trying to show; it’s more what you want us to know.
  6. Fun and positive light.
  7. Maybe having a small theme that can be a thread for the publication.

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? - 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...

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 09 | Development - Sketches & Ideas | OOHDEER Brief - Pitch A Papergang competition!

Inspirations By considering examples from previous Papergang boxes, Paperchase's Collection and Muji's minimalistic approach. Japanese origami has greatly inspired the theme for the Papergang box.  The images below convey the influence of the decided theme/pattern for the Papergang box. Both Origami Cranes and Stars are very simple yet vividly attractive especially how both origami pieces are three-dimensional. This could be an authentic and popular trend for stationary products.      Initial Sketches The initial sketches are illustrations versions of the origami stars and cranes from the images above. The idea of these illustrations were to make them imitate the real origami pieces by keeping them three dimensional yet  emblematic . The stars and cranes can be more distinguishable this way for consumers to recognise them to the real origami.  Illustrator Vectors After deciding which illustrations looked ideal  as the r...
