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.

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.

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.) The Beginning of Banking in Britain In Great Britain, the modern age of banking began in 1640 when King Charles I, needed cash to pay the (English) army that he was raising against Scotland ( of which he was also King.)to seized the golf bullion that many merchants and nobles had placed in the Tower of London for safe-keeping.
