OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 06 | Final Design & Evaluation | YCN Student Awards 2017/18 - KFC Bucket Design

Final Designs
Below are the final designs for the KFC Bucket design. These are the choices which I believe that are appropriate to the KFC outcomes. The reason of uploading two designs was because it is optional to upload more than one design to the competition brief and there was a draw between the final two designs. The template from the YCN KFC brief was used to help structure my vector and illustration designs. The metallic bucket the stickman could be foiled to make it an limited addition.

Evaluation
In conclusion the design process of the YCN's KFC brief challenging yet enjoyable. In the beginning of the brief, finding a concept/theme was the most difficult part of the bucket design. Especially looking at other entry designs via Behance. A lot of concepts were already made and taken, thus persuading my design to be completely different from the majority. By regarding to the entries design on behance was inspiring as it help break down why certain designs were design to help provide the family & friends to celebrate and eat together like their goals. 

By using these entries I was able to identify and acknowledged what recurring shapes, colours, and illustrative styles were the most appealing to the audience. Majority of the designs were very illustrative and cartoony. Therefore it is vital that the designs for my Bucket must consist of the same elements. The influence of my designs were from the Olympic coke cola bottles/cans. 

The illustrations of the stickmen were coloured in a rainbow colour to represent all people in society. I tried to make another special addition bucket which consist colours of red, white, black, gold and silver. The colour scheme was inspired by football world cup colours or uniform. As there is a lot of people who come together and celebrate football or sports as a whole.

Overall, I found this brief fun yet challenging. The reason of the challenging stages was that the brief was able to test my illustration and drawing skills. Thus digitalising them on Abode Illustrator and Photoshop. In addition I would do this kind of packaging competition brief again in the future if the opportunity comes.

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...
