GDES1010 Design:Skills And Theory

Tuesday 9th December 2014 Session Review Continuing from last weeks session I have decided to leave the ancient gods alone for now and use animals instead. Thankfully, I have finally created a strong concept for the lawyer logo; however, I decided to use take further research into heraldry and since heraldry and historical culture sand design is a passion it will help add enthusiasm to designing the final lawyer logo. As for the town logo task It was nice to discover new facts and receive a deeper knowledge of both Sparkbrook and Hallgreen.

Thursday 4th December 2014 Session Review During today's session, I have simply browsed through my A3 sketchbook looking at my past work for this module and added any additional sketches on idea page; However, once I had finished making quick improvements to my existing work I continued working on the Fluffy Banks bar idea and drew different typography for the bar logo. So far I like the idea of having the gentleman rabbit moustache on the f and the f wearing the top hat. By Sebastian Jones

Tuesday 2nd December, 2014 Session Review I had presented the map to the class as usual and despite me not thinking the route from st johns campus to the Hive thoroughly; Andy had given me some insightful feedback and encouraged me to expanded and improve on my existing idea of using a medieval map that incorporated Worcester's heritage and culture. Compared to the Worcester map assignment I feel this logo design will be in more accustomed to me since I have had past experience of logo design.( see log blah blah); However, for both logos, I had used a bunny rabbit since the company names must be called Fully Banks.

Monday 1st December 2014 last updated at 21:56 pm Session Review Continuing from last weeks session I am simply finding map-making guides because last week it wasn't the visual theme for the map; however, it was creating a map that actually guided you towards the Hive library in Worcester.

Friday 28th November 2014 Session Review Following form last Tuesday I had begun to research medieval maps designs and other additional old world maps. Since the brief has stated that our map must be simple yet visually explain the route in an intriguing way I felt a medieval design would suit this task, Route References http://www.thehiveworcester.org/getting-here.html http://www.worcester.ac.uk/discover/find-us-st-johns-campus.html Visual  References http://www.raremaps.com/maps/medium/14277.jpg By Sebastian Jones

Tuesday 125th   November 2014 Session Review Today's stress task went well, for I  enjoyed this one more compared to the first stress task. The reason being since I have learned additional knowledge that will be of good use to me; Not just for graphic design but, infographics may be another alternative for me to present information and data, in a visually appealing way for any future presentations.

Tuesday 11th November 2014 Session Review This task certainly was interesting especially having to generate a viral concept for anti ageing cream produce by an Austrian scientific company known as Siin. This stress task certainly was interesting because the task forced the class and I to create a concept in no more than one hour.
