What's up?

Now it's starting to get a bit stressed again. There is a lot of assignments with final due in about four weeks. This is what's on the schedule, to keep you updated on my projects:



Studio Practice:
  •  We have just got the final brief, which is really fun. We will create a stop motion film of 15 seconds (about 24 photos per second) that goes with our brand style and that could be used as a promoting device for our Hotel! Today we brainstormed within our group, and next Monday we'll bring cameras, paper and other stuff that can come in handy for the project. I am really looking forward to get started on this one!



Symbols & Distribution:
  • For next Monday we need to publish five more pictures of a specific kind of symbol, onto our Symbols Blog Folio. Additional to this we will print out all the pictures and text, and create a simple symbol folio to be handed in to the teachers. 
  • Distribute our symbol in Hyde Park to "celebrate" that Sydney is multicultural. This is another approach in getting people to not reject the refugee problem here in Sydney. We'll film it all and present it in front of the class!
     

    Frameworks of Design:
    •  The presentation of our brand with the creative process behind it (for example include all stages of logo ideas from the sketch book), background research, idea for a launch event together with mood board, invitation and a produced give-away gift that could be used in the fictional event, a 1000 word script to back up the presentation to be handed in to the teachers as a leave behind after the presentation. The leave behind will be a CD with print on it, and a cover that will also match the brand. Also, the presentation itself needs to be included in the CD leave behind. Fun project!!
    • In the project, there should be some references of design studios that we like. We got a paper in class with a lot of interesting suggestions of good design agencies to research a bit further, and I thought I could include some of them here to show you!

    • Mash Design

    Typography & Context:
    • The Letter in the environment poster I showed you before
    • The process book of 42 pages, printed and bound as a professional book ("It needs to look so professional as if your mother picked it up in a book store, she would never imagine that it is made by you"). The book should include everything we have done during this semester in Typography and Context, including photos and things we have learned at the lessons, and the printed A2 poster.
