OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Collection of Photographs & Yearbook Inspirations | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Participants Childhood Photograph Collection
Below are the collection of the 17 participants (including us) childhood pictures. These photos are stored in the Google Drive we (Leah - collaborator) use to share media or information to one another. 
One potential idea for our publication is collecting the 17 participants childhood photos is for the participants to recreate their own photographs. This idea was influenced by the internet craze of 'recreate your childhood photos with your siblings or individually' ― and these are then please post them on the Internet, because they’re usually too good not to share.

Examples of existing photos: 



Another potential idea for our publication is to make the cover of the book out of the 17 participants childhood photo. This will make a good example of a collage book cover with the nostalgic picture quality. 

Yearbook Inspiration design & layout
For the yearbook concept design we mutually agreed and inspired to create a similar design to the 'EXO XOXO album'. The reasoning of selecting this album as our main design guide for our year book design. Is that it has uniform colour elements for a good yearbook design: specially the black and white photographs of the people, red and yellow title and sticker designs. 

 In addition, to the individual portrait photographs of the people again consist of the same monochrome theme. The first set of the photographs of the individuals has a more serious facial expression whilst the second set of the photographs are more humours and demonstrates their own personalities by pulling funny, awkward and happy expression. This kind of photography aspects for our 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...

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read?

In this Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? We need to use the range of fundamental design principles that we have been taught: Colour theory, frame & format, type & grid... Which all of them gives us a inform comprehension of the building blocks of graphic design.  Overall, our aim of the end of the Studio Brief is for us to design and produce a small publication (booklet, leaflet, etc.) that collates materials which, in turn, can communicate key factors of design principles to the reader.  These are some of the key factors of Design Principles: Gestalt Principles Colour Theory: Systematic Colour Colour Theory: Subjective Colour  Grids  Figure/Ground  Balance  Alignment  Proportions  Canons of Page Construction White Space  I may choose to look at one of these and expand it, or all of these or even a selection of these subjects which I want to present within my small publication that I will develop and ...
