Creating key words/name ideas bank

In order to start honing in on a brand identity, I thought it would be a good idea to create a bank of key words from the brief and my research. This enabled me to create names that I felt had a concept and meaning behind them. I also came up with some tag-lines, as this is always useful when creating an identity. for my concept that I’m going to present to CHS on Friday, I think Nook and Cocoon work well, as they play into the idea of small spaces. I think Cocoon could also work well for the butterfly effect concept, as it ties in small spaces and the imagery/connotations of butterflies.

I added co-ordinates to my poster as suggested by my group.

Critiquing each others work

Me and my group communicated through chat and email. Above is me critiquing Neves poster to help create more consistency.

Keeping a system

I worked on the poster for a bit whilst the rest of my group were busy with other work, so to help them out I made a list of the font sizes and weight I used to keep our posters consistent. We also made a one drive and shared our files to make sure the text lined up.

Poster development

Using the same colour scheme and fonts and before, I started to lay out the poster. We decided to change a few things based on feedback, for example changing the captions form point 1, point 2 and point 3 to a more specific labelling of the actual area.

I also changed the title to sounds of the beach, as I thought this sounded nicer than analysis - beach. I added the key at the bottom.

Collection = interpretation poster development

After our feedback, I suggested to my group making the poster less abstract and more legible, as it’s purpose is to display information. I came up with the idea of keeping the “blob” idea but making it more easy to understand by using flat colours layered(almost like a heat map) each colour would relate to one of the categories of noise with a key.

The size of each shape is relevant to amount of tallies (with a box) so for example, at place 1 I jotted down 21 vehicle sounds. Using the equation 1 tally = 10mm, the shape on the infographic is 210 x 210 mm. These shapes are layered to compare which sounds were loudest.

Final poster design

I reintroduced the off white I used in my assets to my poster. I think this softened my design a lot and make it more visually appealing and less harsh.

Poster redesign 3

I wanted to add a flair on one of the letterforms to link it back to the ink/fluidity. I went with the second one as I liked the shape it created more.
