Today we had to bring in different design books, in which we then discussed in groups the design principles we could pick out from the designs. We also had a critique where we all laid out our work and gave back as much feedback as possible. When critiquing work we had to keep in mind the use of negative space, imagery, colour and patterns.
For independent study i just continued to create mock ups as i am still a little unsure as to what i want to move forward with, none of them are all that appropriate for my destinations. This is where i will look into further inspiration which relates more to my three locations. (The beach- calm, relaxing free, loose, peaceful, summer- adjectives to keep in mind when designing also)
Tuesday 11th March, session 2
Today we learnt about grids and how they are so necessary when it comes to placement of image and text. Grids help the content to be placed consistently throughout the brochure or books/magazines for that matter. We had to participate in a class activity involving grids to help us gain understanding on how they work and how many columns/grids had been used. We also had a very small critique.
For independent study i decided on a idea and constructed 3 spreads all consisting of the same idea- creating a sequence. I then printed these and stuck them in my book ready for presentation on monday morning.
