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 real origami pieces. The top origami crane and stars sketches were made into vectors via Adobe Illustrator to test for chosen colour schemes.
 



Colour schemes
Below are the four colour schemes that were tested on both illustrative patterns. By experimenting these colour schemes on Adobe Photoshop it is helpful to see which colour scheme works potentially for the Papergang box. By selecting the most vivid colour schemes similarly to the previous winners of the Papergang box design competition will help compare if the origami patterns are suitable for the design.

Type in Context - Final Indesign Layout

After the trial and error of printing the pages with my first intial scrapbook concept. I decide to change the layout of my  pages as the first layout was difficult to work with when adding text.   Instead I did a layout like this (images are below) the text and photographs are in more of a consistent and organised scale. My peers gave me advice on what text to put within my publication pages, they said facts and figures will be interesting as it will relate to the photographs. Because of adding more photographs/text to the pages of the publication, I therefore had to add more pages. So in the end, there was about 30 pages in my publication. Overall, the images on the Indesign preview look decent and I will print this out within the Digital Print room’s paper stock. 

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

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...
