Monday 13th March - Sunday 19th March

This week as a group we focused on our homepage and started looking at our catalogue. After receiving feedback for our homepage, we made a few changes. This is how it looks now:



It looks a lot better now that we have made more changes but, I feel it is still not complete. I am waiting to have another critique with my tutor to see what else we could improve. After we made these changes as a group, we moved onto looking at paper folds and content layout for our catalogue presentation. The brief says to use a standard 'Z fold' but, as a group we have decided to try a different fold. We spent a few hours researching different folds and looking at YouTube videos. We finally found one we all agreed on




After deciding on the fold, we proceeded to create the grid layout for the content on InDesign. This was rather challenging to make but we managed to do it in the end. Here is what it looks like:


Next we started placing the content in:

Front:



Back:


After completing our first catalogue design, I started to do my individual flyer. I produced two different designs and then selected the one which had the better concept. Once I had selected the better design, I created the back of the flyer.


First design:


This design uses one the the backgrounds I produced for my webpages but, then decided not to use it. I think it works well as a design for a front flyer.


Second design:


 Back for second design:


I personally feel that this is a stronger design compared to the first one. This design is made up using all 15 gallery images for the background of the front and back flyer. It then includes a repeated pattern of my individual logo on the front. The back design uses 2 of the backgrounds I produced for the webpages but, they have been modified slightly so the overall design looks balanced. I am happy with this design however, I need to wait for feedback from my tutor Paula.

Next weeks aim: start creating my app design

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this  completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date.  There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Placement research

Over the last few weeks I have been researching job placements. It has been very hard to find 3 month placements, all of them seem to be a year long or I am not qualified for the opportunity. However, I kept on looking even with these minor set backs and I have now found some placements that I can apply for. 12 month placements DISNEY - Creative & Product Development  https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/london/internships-creative-and-product-development-2018-19/391/5832619 UNIVERSAL - Graphic Design Intern http://jobs.jobvite.com/universalmusicgroup/job/ofZm6fwq Both of these 12 month placements are amazing opportunities but this is not what I am looking for. I want to either have a placement over the given time during semester 2 (March -May)or, have a summer placement. Due to this, I decided to research local design agencies in Coventry. Here are the three I liked the most. These three design agencies would help me develop professionally b...

Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Muesum

Friday 30th September Today I went on a trip to Oxford to visit two museums. These museum's were Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers. Both of these museums had lots to offer but, I did prefer the Pitt Rivers museum beacuse it at things you could interactive with. Ashmolean is the University of Oxford's museum of art, founded in 1683. The collection is very large and has Egyption mummies to contemporary art. The museum displays all sorts of diversity throughout culture across time. During the time I was exploring the museum, I produced some observational drawings as well as taking photographs. My favourite part of the museum was the Egyptions beacuse, it was incredible to get close to these amazing historical pieces. Pitt Rivers displays archaeology and anthropology collections of the University of Oxford. The museum was founded in 1884 by 'Augustus Pitt Rivers'. He agreed to give his collection to the museum on the agreement that a lecture in anthropology was held on a regu...
