OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Stickers & Book cover design | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Sticker development design
For the sticker/title design for the publication the polaroid shape was taken as inspiration. The idea for the polaroid designs were that the audience and participants can sign their signature on the stickers to make the publication more personal. Below are some design examples: 

 Feedback
Majority of the feedback from peers and tutors all preferred the design of brand, title and sticker designs were they bottom right design with and without the outline. To conclude, testing the chosen vector sticker design with our primary colour scheme (red, blue and yellow).

Colour design development
Our publication colour scheme that we mutually agreed on were inspired by the primary colours (red, blue and yellow). By testing the three types of red, yellow and blue by the shade, warmth and cool tones. Below are shown in the sticker designs: 

 

 

Final Colour Sticker Development
Below are the final colour sticker designs with our chosen colour scheme. Subsequently after our group (collaborator Leah) discussion we final finalised which sticker and logo design would be the most appropriate for our publication. We both mutually agreed that the bottom design was the best out of the four other designs. 
Publication front & back cover design
When designing for our front and back cover of our publication. We experimented with the collection of childhood and (current) adulthood photos of the participants. Inspired by the 'Human of New York' publication cover - we tried to rectify the same kind of concept. The idea of making a collage with the old and new photos is to demonstrate the before and after photos of the participants. By testing our chosen primary colour scheme against the childhood/adulthood photos were quite challenging as overtime it became visually more of a children book than a story publication. 

Overlapping the photos was an interesting experiment as it created a nostalgic texture with the colour contrast of the individual photographs. The sticker design for labelling/title and possible branding for the exhibition idea was a good concept as the signature gives the polaroid stickers a more personal approach. The polaroid stickers have been tested as a boarder along the publication. Creating the gaps between the photos were tested for the primary colours seeped through the edges of the photographs, however visually the colour scheme and photographs did not complement each other well as the colours had a big differentiation again each other.

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.)
