Assessment 3 - Design Elements (Part 2)

Assets and Color Scheme:

The illustrations are hand drawn using Procreate, focusing on more rounded edges for each dinosaur illustration. Hand drawing art style would suit the audience profile more, as it has more flexibility in creating thick and thin lines when needed for the outline of the illustrations.

The color palette uses a square color scheme from the color wheel as these color combinations would suit the audience profile as well.

Title Screen/Branding Identity:

The title screen is done using Adobe Illustrator using "Chalkboy" font written on chalkboard. There is a very simplified doodle of a T-rex head on the right. The color scheme and overall design of the title screen may or may not be revised for Assessment 4.

WOII Compulsory: Week 5 & 6 - Design Analysis and Field Trip

Why should we analyze design? Every design has a reason behind it. Colors, shapes, and materials are all used to show a certain feeling or message. By analyzing why certain design choices are made in specific contexts, we can learn to apply these principles in our own work to create more intentional and effective designs.

In Week 5's activity, I analyzed the charms (Jibbitz) and categorized them under the theme of "memory" because users can personalize their shoes by choosing and placing charms as they like, creating a meaningful experience. This uniqueness gives the product a competitive edge. Personalization has been a key part of Crocs’ business strategy, and Jibbitz played a big role in boosting their revenue (Osum). At the same time, because the process is also fun and engaging, I began exploring new connections with the theme of "play" during our field trip.

Considering the features of Jibbitz, I focused on things people can directly experience and enjoy, like a knitted flower that can be gifted, a pinwheel to play with, or a decorated mirror for taking photos. What these all have in common is that people derive value from using these products. Interestingly, even though I took pictures of different objects in different places, I found common design elements when grouped under the theme of "play", bright colors and round, playful shapes. I believe these design elements were used because they evoke a feeling of joy, aligning with the shared goal of making people feel entertained.

In my craft font design class, I created a poster with the theme “enjoy,”. To express this, I used elements like ribbons and curved lines. I also chose bright yellow and pink colors that frequently appeared in the photos taken during our activity with the theme of “play.” These choices helped convey a joyful feeling. Through this design analysis, I was able to notice design principles I would normally overlook and apply them to my own work, making the design more effective.
