Stickers

To create the range of 4 stickers, I used the main logo to create 4 different designs for the event in Photoshop. As stickers would be given out at the event, they did not need the location or website so I included the relevant information: the title, logo and host company. They are all different but are aesthetically similar.


I then used these designs and that of the poster to create a lanyard as this would be needed for the event.

Graphic Design: The New Basics - Back to the Bauhaus, Beyond the Basics, Formstorming

Back to the Bauhaus 1920s - institutions such as the Bauhaus in Germany explored design as a universal "language of vision - continues today. Bauhaus promoted rational solutions (planning & standardisation) but today the focus is more on unique, idiosyncratic and customised designs.  Modernism as well as systems that produce unexpected results.  “Design is never reducible to its function or to a technical description.” Postmodernism - don’t look for meaning in an image/object as people will cloud their interpretation with cultural biases and personal experiences. Postmodernism emerged in 1960s but became a dominant ideology between the '80s and ‘90s. Software designers describe the language of vision in a universal way. Software organises visual material into menus to create tools that are universal e.g. InDesign is a software machine for controlling leading, alignment, spacing, column structures, image placement and page layout. Transparency is used a lo...

Graphic Design: The New Basics - Time and Motion

Motion is a kind of change, and change takes places in time. Time and motion are considerations for all design work. Any still image has implied Motion, while motion graphics share compositional principles with print.  Animation encompasses diverse modes of visible change. Alternative modes of change: scale, transparency, colour, layer, etc. A word or design element can stay still while the environment around it changes. A motion sequence is developed through a series of storyboards, which convey the main pages and movements of an animation. Cropping a shape can suggest motion, just as diagonal compositions do. Complex and subtle behaviours are created by using different modes of change simultaneously. When animating type, the designer must pay special attention to legibility and reading order - context is important. Storyboards summarise key content/moments of an animation's events. Interactive logos and graphics are another aspect of motion design. 

Contrasting Letterforms

In Photoshop, I used a pair of contrasting letterforms; g & Z, and created logos using just the letters and a background to see how the curves and straight lines contrasted.
