Today we got into small groups of 4 and looked and discussed each others research/visual research we had gathered over the past week at our chosen destinations. Today i just presented pictures that i had taken at each of my individual destinations. We also learnt about the fundamental design principles such as composition, fonts and colour.
For independent study i went away and researched further into my destinations mainly history for background information to help with future design. I also briefly started looking into colour schemes and made a trip down to the Resene paint shop and picked up some colour pallets to use as a colour reference for my upcoming designs. I played with illustrative drawings that also could have been used through the brochure to communicate a theme or feeling. I made a mock up spread as a potential idea to present to the class.
Tuesday 4th March, session 2
Today in the initial powerpoint presentation Tim and Tom talked about patterns and how they are vital in design as they help to communicate an emotive feeling. We then played around with hand drawn patterns in our workbooks that represented a specific adjective.
For independent study i just continued to experiment with different initial mock ups. I also started to incorporate colour, textures and patterns into my designs. When working on my mock ups my main focus was colour and trying to come up with new ideas before focussing on composition and layout (working wit imagery) For my mock ups i looked at inspiration so i could then pull out successful aspects and interpret them into my designs.
