Unit Evaluation

LO 1: I began my unit with extenisve research to help me structure a well-informed and effective project. By exploring a range of viewpoints I was able consider to build my own somewhat controversial viewpoint which challenged my initial research, eventually informing a vastly different, but exciting final outcome than expected.

LO 2: This project I have adopted new visual communication techniques to more appropriate communicate my solutions. I looked at building an extensive design system from logo-spacing to specifically adapted grid layouts for each deliverable.

LO 3: I began very strongly by producing a clear project pipeline and planning my work strategies, however admittedly as deadline pressure began to build I had fallen behind my intial plans. By staying organised throughout production, I was able to regularly adapt my timeline to fit my schedule and stay on target.

LO 4: Overall the unit was a huge challenge for me, especially having to build my own learning agreement, however I believe this will be a useful skill for my future in creative industries. Through critically reflecting, I have documented how my work relates to both personal and wider professional contexts

Overall the unit was very difficult, but an exciting learning experience.

One Week Project Outcomes

One Week Project

Task: Pick something and translate it visually using a system devised by you

I found an old foldable chair abandoned outside a comic store. I don’t know what the chair had been used for, but it was interested in its history in the store. I spray painted the chair white to give me a blank canvas to work with.

Idea:

In my imagination this chair has had longevity assisting people in reading comics and becoming a part of the store. My idea was to transform the chair into its purpose in the store, a comic book chair

Refining Billboards

I was pleased with the outcomes of my advertisements, however I agreed that some content should be visible during the day to not waste space & money, but not enough to ruin the purpose. I also adjusted colours & updated logo.

Refining Event Map

Removed un-needed content from event map for clearer UX experience. Increased legibility with stroke.

Coasters

At an event many people chose to drink, what better way to promote the brand every time someone puts down or picks up their drink - whilst enhancing the atmosphere.

IFYK Wristband

“58% say merchandise gives them a sense of satisfaction supporting their favourite brand” Garment Printing, 2024

Plastic cups

Although minimal, some safety concerns were raised within my research. By producing event standard clear and capped glasses, I can enforce drink safety and help my audience feel more comfortable.

[maxluff2102696]

IFYK ASH TRAY

“People aged 25-34 are the highest proportion of current smokers in the UK” Census, 2022

My audience are more likely to be smokers than others, If I want to build a brand for the people, I must accommodate.

Final Tutorial

I then pitched my project so far to my tutors for my final critique pre-hand-in.

App first designs

Here are my first app designs. I experimented with a different logo, however I believe my chosen logo would stand out and compliment more sucessfully here.
