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.)

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...
