Sunday 4th October
Week 3 focused on Readability, in which we were tasked with looking into good and bad typography design on commercial artwork, the second half of the week will be about us experimenting with page layout in which we have to follow graphic design principles such as grids to design an article while the other half of the experiment was to break the principles and do whatever you want but keeping it readable.
I started by looking into good typography, specifically album covers and remembered a good example of type. This was the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack cover by Toshihiro Kawamoto.
The Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack has a cover that makes minimal use of colours to contrast the type and image together. It comes off as readable and easily accessible because the show title ‘Cowboy Bebop’ is positioned within the top quarter of the cover surrounded by white negative space and is typed in black with a bold, elongated, close kerned and sans serif font. On the other hand, the majority of the cover is an illustration of the main protagonist, Spike Spiegel, in a monochrome-like style with his skin and hair being in red, while the shadows including his eyebrows and background are in black, which keep to the covers use of three colours. In addition, there is text on the top quarter of the illustration which is in white and seems to be in the same font as the show title mentioned before but with less boldness. The white text is track list in no particular order and works well with the cover as it is positioned close to the white negative space, leaving only a red gap between them, the closeness between them give off a sense of relation and contrast, and protrudes effectively on the red background which makes it easier to read.
The bad example of type was difficult as there were surprisingly so many.
Here’s an article I found on google search which displayed some bad use of typography.
The one I chose was Usher’s album, My Way.
The typography on the album cover of Usher’s, My Way, is very unappealing and somewhat hard to read. I believe this is the case as the Times New Roman font the ‘Usher’ text is in, is a silver, serif and thin font with a shadow effect that blends into the navy/black background it is positioned on which make the already thin font look like remnants of letters, this also seems to be the case for the title of the album which is underneath the artist’s name, as the “My Way” is a similar colour to the metallic stairs Usher is standing on and the letters in particular, ‘y’, ‘w’ and ‘a’ , fuse into and make it hard to read, and makes you not want to focus on the type at all. In addition, I noticed both titles are not aligned correctly or centred to the covers size, this may be on purpose as is seems to try and align with Usher’s pose on the cover but comes off as lazy and unprofessional.

Snapchat swaps mess for money
Snap Inc. took a major risk when it completely redesigned Snapchat a few months ago -- it's no secret that people don't like change. But the company, after constantly struggling to add new users since going public last February, decided it needed to make adjustments in order to attract people and keep others coming back. The solution was to refine the app, with an easier-to-use layout and to separate friends' posts from media content, Snapchat suddenly became a more refined app. It no longer feels like an overwhelming, discombobulated mix of stories from people you know, others you don't and publishers that are trying to get your attention. And the move, based on Snap's Q4 2017 earnings report, seems to be paying off.
Yesterday, the company revealed that it has finally managed to gain a significant amount of daily active users: 8.9 million during the most recent quarter, bringing its total to 187 million. That's the largest growth since 2016, long before it was a public company. While Snapchat continues to lag far behind rivals like Instagram and Facebook -- which have 500 million and 1.4 billion daily active users, respectively -- the app's progress is notable. This rings particularly true when Snapchat's redesign is still being rolled out and only 40 percent of its users have it thus far.
The response to the major overhaul is indeed a good sign for Snap, and one that it may not have expected. Especially since, for the past three quarters, its future looked quite bleak. There wasn't enough user growth to keep investors happy, it was bleeding money and laying off workers, all signs that Snap needed to change its strategy.
Snapchat's redesigned app.
Naturally, more users means more money. Snap posted a record revenue of $285.7 million in the fourth-quarter of 2017, a substantial 72 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel attributed part of this spike to the popularity of Snapchat's sports content. "This season we entertained more than 30 million football fans in the United States with over 400 NFL Stories," he said, claiming it helped generate over $100 million in revenue for Snapchat's content partners. Spiegel added that Snap's goal is to "deepen these relationships" in the coming years, which presumably means giving users access to more features (like that augmented-reality foam finger) when they're at NBA or NFL games.
Spiegel didn't go into any further detail about the rest of Snapchat's original series efforts, leaving open the question of whether they're actually successful or not. CNN, for instance, killed its made-for-Snapchat daily show last December, after the show failed to catch on. That said, Snapchat continues to draw interest from big, traditional networks like ESPN, which recently launched a Snapchat-exclusive version of "SportsCenter". Part of the goal with the redesign was to do a better job of putting these shows front and center, therefore creating more revenue opportunities, and that plan seems to be working.
One of the Snapchat features that's also turned out to be popular is Maps, which shows a collection of public Stories from events around you so you can see what people are up to at certain locations in real-time. It's the perfect tool for avoiding FOMO or stalking your friends at a concert. Snap said yesterday that Maps now has 100 million monthly active users, a notable accomplishment considering it only launched in June last year. At the moment, Spiegel said, there are no plans to monetize the feature, but don't be surprised if that changes.
"Our work during 2017 is proof that we aren't afraid to make big changes for the long-term success of our business," Spiegel said, referring to Snapchat's redesign. He also highlighted how important was to improve the Android app, where there the focus was to have fewer frame drops and, most importantly, fewer crashes.The challenge for Snap now is to be able keep this momentum up. That's something it plans to do by introducing new features like Live, which is debuting as a partnership with NBC and will let Snapchat users stream "moments" from the network's Olympic Games directly on the Discover feed.
Only time will tell if Snap's new strategy will pay off in the long term, but at least right now, it's in good shape heading into 2018. And that alone is a win for a company that, just a few months ago, was in a downward spiral. Redesigns aren't always the answer to solve an app's problems, though that seems to be just what Snapchat needed.
