loads of websites.

I have began my research by looking at different kinds of websites. Below are some of the styles that i like.

All of the above are from http://siteinspire.net/

Screenbased Communication2

NEW BRIEF.

I know that i should want to learn new programs so that i can gain new skills but i am definitely not looking forward to building a website because me and computers really don't see eye to eye. Last year in screenbased communication 1 i had the same fear when faced with creating an animation on flash and although i still dont really enjoy working with the program, i did hand in a finished animation at an ok quality.

Instaed of worrying about the program for now i am going to begin the designs for my website.

My website is going to be:

-limited colours for the background

-small point size on the text

-simple navigation

Visual communication in context 2

I found that i felt slightly overwhelmed by this unit in the first few weeks because it had lots of short deadlines and not enough time to adapt the design after the final critique. out of the four projects within this unit i struggled with the thank you one the most and i am still not entierly happy with the design even now. The project that i am the most pleased with was the stationary design because i hadnt done any stationary before but it was enjoyable to do.

I also found the spam re brand challenging to do but the final design has come out well and i now wouldnt mind doing packaging design again.

Communicating ideas

Listening to the ted talks seemed to take forever. it wasn't that they were boring or even that i didn't understand the topics in the talks it was just that weren't really grabbing my attention. well that was until i started listening to Stefan Sagmeister talk about the power of time off and how by taking a break gives you chance to take in new experiences .

After some ideas generation i decided to create a logo and poster campaign for companies to encourage their staff to take time off to regenerate and renew making them more efficient when at work.

Packaging design

At the beginning of this project i was less than pleased with the list of products that we were given to re brand but after beginning the designs i found it challenging but enjoyable at the same time and i began to understand why we had been given the products. I had chosen to re brand spam so that it would be a more desirable product. After researching what was in spam and the varieties that i came in i decided to re brand it as a pate.

The final design is quite decorative and all the colours are from the original spam packaging.
