OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 05 | Development 2 | Student Design Award 2018 - Children's Cover Award 'Nought & Crosses' by Malorie Blackman

Secondary development designs - with colour schemes






 Feedback
  • Majority of peers and tutors prefer the top and middle design. 
  • Colour scheme is good - needs more experimentation. 
  • Definitely the middle one reminds me of a comic book.
  • The last one is slight pixelated but maybe it's because of a smaller scale.
  • The colour red has connotations of murder, killing and see graphical - maybe a different background for a dystopian genre. 
  • Pinky promise is a good concept - promising to get out of a dystopian world. 
  • Plasters representing the O's and X's is a clever concept.
  • The top one have the lines like the noughts and crosses game - used this in the other designs!
  • I think the middle pinky promise design is better than the last one - keep with that one. No need for more than one!
  • Selection of typefaces works well with the book covers.
  • Very similar to the Penguin examples online
By considering and referring back to the feedback from crit group, following their advise to help to improve the first development of the book covers. 


 More design work
Below are the secondary book cover designs. Only focusing on two vectors design which is the comic inspired pinky promise concept and the general noughts and crosses games. In these designs other vectors from previous development will be added on. Such as the mini noughts and crosses to make a border for the book cover, the heart vector to symbolise the forbidden love with this dystopian storyline, more plasters along the arm to demonstrate the hardships of segregation in the book.

Secondary Feedback
  • Majority of the positive feedback preferred the first design than the second one.
  • The second design looked to crowded with the plasters on the two arms. 
  • Colour scheme was highly praised. 
  • The Eurostile was the most popular typeface.  
Final two front cover book designs for submission

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 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.)
