Pitch Presentation

Publication Design Development

I have now developed the sections in my creative report publication for each designer that I contacted, each of the 3 designers' sections within the publication follow the same grid systems and overall layout. The initial ideas/designs for each designer having an intro page with their Instagram handle, logo and intro paragraph, a page which shows my initial conversation with them and then 5 pages after that which show the questions and answers that I asked, has been developed further for each designer. It was important for each designers section to use the same layout in order to create consistency even though the report consists of 3 different designers.

Additionally, I asked each artists the same first question and the same last question. The last question is 'What advice would you give to aspiring illustrators and designers that have recently graduated' this page is kept purely type based in order to add more emphasis on this last question. The last page was developed from the initial design, the question and response were developed to be on separate pages next to each other instead of the answer underneath the question on the same page.

The first page (the first actual question page) was also developed further by using an actual photograph of the designer in order to make each designers section more personal to them.

These pages still need some final tweaks and then I will begin to develop a cover for the creative report which I will need to gather some more research for first. I think it would also be useful for the creative report to contain a general introduction page when first opening the publication.

Publication Initial Design

As I have now received responses off 3 different designers/artists which is what I aimed for, I have now started to create initial designs for the creative report, which I want to present through a publication. Since I have based my creative report of three different designers, it means that I am able to gain insight from a range of different designers and see how each of them approach design.

Additionally, each designer will have their own section within the publication which will follow the same grid systems and overall layout. Each designer will have an intro page with their Instagram handle, logo and intro paragraph, a page which shows our the initial conversation with them and then 5 pages after that which show the questions and answers that I asked.Additionally, I asked each artists the same first question and the same last question.

Below shows the initial publication pages that I have created for @colorscollective

Physical Designs

Below shows photographs of the physical mockups that we will show in tomorrow presentation, showing the things that we have created physically is a lot more useful, relevant and exciting as our concept of the Ey Up focuses on actual physical things, activities and design for print. We will show the mock up of the miniature Ey Up sculpture, the double sided map printed and folded, and the stamps which were created using wood.

Design Development

Today we have developed each element for the Ey Up Creative Canvas further towards final pieces which we will show in the presentation tomorrow, we will also develop some of these further into physical mockups that we can show.

The designs below shows how the 'Ey Up' sculptures would look with the different designers' work on. These designs show examples which use some of our own designs. However, when the designers/students want to actually submit work to be used on the Ey Up sculptures, they would need to submit their designs within a template.

The template

Additionally, we also developed social media which includes a facebook event and an Instagram page for the Ey Up creative canvas to gain more exposure. A poster design was also created which would also help to gain exposure, the poster would be put up around uni and the city.

Poster

Below shows designs for the stamps that would be used on the map. Once the tourist has visited the location, a stamp would be available at the sculpture which will allow them to stamp their map.

Furthermore, below shows the developed map designs with the photographic illustrations added, we stuck with the colour palette of the light blue and dark blue with the orange to create contrast- blue and orange are each others opposite colours according to colour theory.

These are the final designs for the front and back, the colours of the actual map diagram were changed from black to the blues to create consistency. Additionally, space/circles were added into each location square for the stamps to go in.

Additionally, the front of the map when folded simply just shows the 'Ey Up' blue square in a folded diamond square. Once unfolded, the front of the map also shows an image and information about the artists that work is on the some of the sculptures.
