Week 09 2D Design

In today's class...

GROUP EXERCISE – Concept Realisation

PRODUCING A RANGE - 15 mins Sketch in your Visual Diary or Illustrator


1. Clear rendition of 3 invitation / flyer layouts using the logo & text supplied
2. The design must have space for sponsor logos
3. CDU logo must be on the bottom right – check branding rules

BLOG - 15 mins Each student post the group results in your blog with images and descriptive text

 I began with a simple red border and at first I thought it looked good, but I think it needed to be more eye catching. I figured that the paint splashes would be effective as it resembles art and ties in with the style of the logo, with the 10 squared written in a brush stroke. I chose red and splashed around the border and then chose a light pink to make it less grunge, break up the colour red and to bring out the headline.

 

Here is the other side of the pamphlet. I tried to make use of blank spaces as I didn't want to make it too busy. I highlighted the text with the white splashes and to keep the theme of the front cover.


PRACTICAL – Design Realisation 

30 mins – Illustrator / 10 mins Presentations / 10 mins Blog

1. Layout your version of all 3 designs decided on in the group exercise

I presented my idea to the class and had good responses on the layout. Comments were that it relates to the logo well and the colour choice is good. It looks like paint splashes and not grungy which was what I worried about a little. Happy with how it turned out.

2. Show your results to the class
3. Blog screenshots of your work

For my 2D Design project I changed my mind about doing the band logo due to a better idea. I had been doodling in Illustrator and had created a chicken cartoon character and decided to further develop the idea. Here is the beginnings so far.

I first created the chicken by using basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator.

 I then began to add features and characteristics to create different personalities. I think this will be effective.
