Flyer design

This Is our final flyer design. The back of the flyer has a panel which can be torn away and has instructions for some oregami. This is just a simple way to get the teenagers attention and also for them to keep hold of the flyer. hopefully they will be intrigued by this and feel they want to have a gander at the website.

Design Boards - communication is a Virus

Now we are looking into overcoming youths boredom there are various things we need to research further into.

1. Look into organisations which already exist for young people between the ages of 11-16. What is already available for them for us to advertise.

2. Already existing websites. (what is wrong with them or what works.)

3. Getting parents involved.

4. Things to do at home and out of the house that are stimulating and fun for young people.

2./3. http://www.yorkshire.com/do - This website contains ideas of things to do around yorkshire, where to visit and what is on. but is not specifically aimed at young people. I do really like its layout and style though - very easy to understand.

Communication is a Virus

The brief - Get people to try something new.

This is a collaborative brief and I paired up with Rob. Out of the list of options, we decided to chose to get people to try something new. This seemed like the best option for us as it is quite open for interpretation and there are many ways to look into the concept.

After brainstorming ideas we decided to focus on the concept of getting people who are full time workers, stuck in a routine, to try new, creative things outside of work. This was to encourage them to use the spare time they had and make the most of life.

Things to look into : Being spontaneous- positives/negatives

Being open minded- Positives/negatives

Age group? Although we are focussing on full time workers, which of these are most stuck in the routine of working, eating, sleeping.

Questions to workers.

Are you spontaneous? why?

Do you enjoy your job? why?

What have you always loved to do but not got around to?

Things to do before you die.

we looked further into the concept of fullfilling passions and dreams- how they are forgotten.

I made a list of things people would love to do before they die:

WHY NOT NOW? - I like the idea of a person realising that they can start fulfilling their dreams now - try to promote this.

Concept -

Content -

Method -

Although we seemed to have finalised this idea, parts of it seem to be missing. It was really hard to collect evidence of spontenaity being benificial to a persons day and we do not have a large workers network around us so was hard to collect research towards this. Decided to keep open minded and look further into other ideas.

continued circles experiments

I decided to take a really simple route for the book fair brief. My initial starting point was found circles. I had taken a lot of photographs of circles I had found on objects and in and outside but I didn't feel that the photos were enough or the right style for the book. Looking through the photographs I noticed I had gathered a lot of photographs of pins. I liked the simplicity of this and decided to take this further.

final book - Pages ^

first poster design ^

second poster design ^

third poster design ^

forth poster design ^

These four poster designs were seperated between the 20 editions (5 of each.) Therefore giving variation to the editions. I think I prefered the poster to the pages. I used bulky newsprint as stock. This cut down on cost and also worked a lot better with the simple image as the white stock seemed too harsh.

I also decided to see how the images looked in colour. On this one I kept the cork board background in to see how this would affect the image. I do like this but could Be a new edition of the book.

Experimentation for the book fair

What is a Line?

For this brief we have to consider the question 'what is a line?'

In this specific task we have been asked to find visual examples of each of the quotes provided as an answer to this question. This is to help us decide what direction we want to take and which specific quote we will focus on. I think, on looking at the images and which are most succesfull I would like to look further into a line being "a formation of people, objectss or things on, besides or behind one another."

A mark indicating position, connection or boundaries.


"A connected series of events, actions or developments."

"A formation of people, objects or things on besides/behind the other."

I really like this image ^. I like the consistancy of shape and change of colour through the buildings. I love that some houses can be identical but others really stand out because they are different. I really want to look further into street formation and patterns which can be created from this.
