Final Design - Petection Adoption Gift Box
Below are the finished photographs of the physical Petection adoption gift box. 









Evaluation
In conclusion the design process of our Action against Animal Cruelty brief also known as satisfactory. Initially at the beginning stages of the brief we were unsure to either do something minimalistic or extravagant  to produce for the final outcome of the brief. We wanted to make something which is able to make main consumers and new potential consumers the awareness of animals in cruelty (especially: cosmetic testing, medication/science, used for fur and adopt not buy.) One idea of final outcome was to create four seasons of animals magazine. The reason of this idea was that an editorial product such as a magazine will be able to convey the awareness of animals in cruelty. The second idea of the potential final outcome was to create an adoption gift box, with posters and a possible website mock-up design. 

By using the google drive as a media sharing platform that my collaborator, Aneta sidorko we both could access. This platform was beneficial for the both of us as we were able to edit, critique, share informations and work on each others designs. The google drive made everything organisable as we put them in folders: colours, development, typefaces, sketches, vectors, Photoshop, Photographs of animals and so on. This sharing media platform was appealing as we were able to given each other constant feedback. 

Due to timescale we were unable to deliver a four different editorial pieces for cruelty of cosmetic testing, used for fur, medication/science, and adopt do not buy. One reason of our drawback on this idea was due to as our own individual spearate projects, lack of editorial skills and techniques (Bleed, pages and layout), and deciding which research information is more significant for the magazine. Therefore an adoption box was also considered as a secondary idea to persuade and make aware animal cruelty is still continuing. 

However, since we planned to produce a few physical products for the inside of the adoption gift box. Due to our own separate work and time scale we were unable to develop and elaborate on this especially a physical t-shirt design of the campaign and being able to photograph it in the studio worn by models.  

Overall, the brief challenging yet adequate. The main challenges of this brief was decide what we wanted to put in the adoption box. We collected a lot of research and information of existing adoption gift boxes and majority of them included a few practical pet/animal produces. But for our approach we wanted to gift a present to the consumer for donating for the campaign and saving potential animals still in cruelty. We were able to exacute posters and website mock-up designs which the consumer can look more into the adopting scheme and what the campaign does to help animals in cruelty. Nevertheless the collaboration and communication between Aneta was sufficient as we worked very well together helped each other in designs aspects, we considered each others personal projects and tried to communicate and respond if needed.To conclude I would collaboration with Aneta again as we did communicate well (especially when using the google drive platform to share designs.)

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 - 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...

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).   Without outline With outline Colour design development Our publication colour scheme that we mutually agreed on were inspired by the primary colours (red, blue and yellow).
