WEBSITE STUFF // INTERIM CRITIQUE.

I honestly didn't think I would struggle this much to represent myself well through my own work on my online portfolio. As my work is completely different between graphics and illustration I don't know how to portray myself. I want to be taken seriously as a designer, however I want my website to have elements of fun and easy-going and to reflect me as a person.Below is some example on some logos I have designed for myself. I have chosen the name 'PegLegs' as it is personal to me and a childhood nickname.
The image clearly represents me and how I look. It also relates to past illustration I have done. However I don't want to be seen as entirely an illustrator. I like to think I have skills in a wide media and I want this to be reflected through my website.
Personally I don't particularly think my critique was all that positive and made me think even more about how I can represent myself well and professionally. Back to the drawing board I think!

The image above is a screenshot of how I thought I could made my brand look a little more professional and graphic-like. I would really like to have my gallery like this, although I may need to think further on this too.
People liked the name PegLegs although there were doubts from Neil, and a point was made as to whether or not I would like this name and logo to represent me in 15 years time? It was a good point however, I felt a little shot down. Just need to think harder I think and engage in more research.

In response to the critique, on my walk home I thought about maybe having a split personality on my webpage. My PegLegs brand can represent me as an illustrator, and Meg or Megan Corkhill (still needs to be thought about) can represent my graphic design/branding etc side of me. I'm going to pitch this idea in today's tutorial.

ISTD TALK FROM JONATHAN DONEY.

I found this presentation really helpful. It certainly made me re-think my ideas for it! And whether or not they are as strong as I first thought. I'm almost tempted to change my subject too... Eek! 
I feel a bit lost at the moment with where I should be going with my work, so hopefully a thorough tutorial will help me out. 
Point I did pick up from Jonathan were things like:
  • You need to be able to think differently.
  • Don't think literally.
  • You need to get more than 60%.
  • Really consider your presentation.
  • Don't go down the route everyone is expecting you to.
  • Thorough research to back all ideas.
Now all I need to do is get a brilliant idea! :)

STUMPED.

Ok, so all the ideas I had previously had seem to be going wrong! Thing's aren't working out how they're meant to!
All I know is that for ISTD, I need a back-up plan for my recordings... I say 'all' as if it's nothing, but I'm hoping my solution will be simple.
Secondly, my web ideas are all going to dust. All I know are the colours I have in mind... I don't even know if these will work!
Keep on plodding on I guess :/

FINAL MEETING WITH CHLOE & INK BAR WEBSITE.

On Thursday James, Luke, George, Vicky and myself all had a final meeting with Chloe regarding photographs and printed media. We arrived early ready to meet with Chloe at 5.30 where we had photographs taken to appear alongside an article that will be written about the launch. Hopefully we will make an appearance in the newspaper! We have already made it in to DV8 magazine :)
After this, we were given our printed media, unfortunately it wasn't handed over to us in the pristine state we were expecting, but hopefully it will be in good enough condition to appear in our portfolios. On top of this we were also given a gift voucher for a meal in the Print Rooms which I'm sure we will be enjoying pretty soon.

After this meeting we checked out the Ink Bar website, which fitted in well with the chosen identity of the bar and printed media, however we were disappointed to see that our logo has been squashed on the front page!

FLASH 3.

Today we did something a little different. Using just one image of a snowflake, drawn on illustrator, we had to reproduce it to fall, randomly whilst changing size and colour. Initially I thought we would have to draw lots of different snowflakes, and change the size ourselves, but we had to write a code which would enable us to do this using just one snowflake, of one size, one shape and one colour in order to produce what we need.
To my surprise the code wasn't particularly long, a little more complicated that we have previously worked on, however the results were much more rewarding because of the 'random' input.

This is what I started off with after I had perfected the codes. I dragged and dropped numerous snowflakes at the top of the screen to make the fall more often and random. I drew my own design on the graphic layer as my background. I now had to test my code to see if the fall had worked using random colour, random size, random rotation etc.

Above: A screenshot of my falling snowflakes. This proves my code works :)

This is my finished code. Initially I didn't have a '+' after rotation, but after speaking to James, if I include this, my snowflakes will rotate faster. :) Much better results I think!

MIKE RYAN - ISTD TUTORIAL & FLASH 2.

AM.

In the morning, I had my second Flash lesson which again was very helpful to me, and more importantly I left understanding everything. 
Today we were working on a page which had already
 been produced by Neil, we just had to create characters to drag, enlarge, shrink, react on collision and to navigate using code. Although there was a lot of it, most of the code was copied and pasted, with only a couple of words and symbols to change (See sketchbook for more detail).
Above, left: My original characters in starting positions. No change made.
Above, right: An example of what happens on collision with the other character.

I have written the code so that only the pink character moves and changes, unless it collides with the blue character. It is here that the blue character rotates and the pink one changes it's transparency.

Above, left: Demonstration of pink character enlarging. (Using buttons on the right (+))
Above, right: Demonstration of pink character shrinking. (Using buttons on the left (-))

The pink character can also be rotated using the buttons on the right hand side and navigated around the page using buttons on the left hand side.


PM. ISTD TUTORIAL WITH MIKE RYAN.

I found the tutorial in the afternoon really helpful. He began by giving us a brief introduction to what he thinks is important when entering a competition brief before splitting us up in to groups with people who were working on the same briefs. From here we had to bounce of ideas and discuss our thought processes as to how we will progress through this project. 
As Laura was the only one doing her brief, she joined me and Jamie in our discussions and ideas.
Mike Ryan's brief introduction explained what was expected from ISTD:
  • It's GOT to have background research.
  • It's typographically based.
  • Have you had at least 3 different ideas?
  • It HAS to work in terms of type and organisation.
  • Needs to be a good idea.
  • Ideally research needs to be completed before we get back from Christmas.
I showed him the piece of typography I had produced yesterday. I think because I managed to show him what I meant about incorporating conversations in to text, he was able to give me more feedback. I was told I needed to collect the raw material before I could progress anymore.
I need to collect my inspiration and plan my research in order to produce the results I have in my head. I'm going to have a lot of text so I really need to consider how I will do this. The secret is in the presentation.

FIRST RUN.

This is my first trial run of the sort of thing I want to do. It's just ideas at this stage on how I could incorporate my conversation and keeping the same font. Lots more trial and errors to go but I think it's quite successful for my first run! It's a clip from Pulp Fiction, the conversation involves 3 people, using one font I have managed to separate the three quite distinctively.
I really need to collect my primary research before solid ideas will settle as I don't yet know the content. We'll see how it goes!

NEW.

Well I've been trying to come up with some sort of logo/identity for my name for this website project and so far all I've come up with is a bird, which I drew whilst on the phone...
However, I've been experimenting with various designs for it, and compositions of my text and image and eventually made it my new banner for the blog to see how it looks. 
During this project I will continue to work on this as I need something I can really represent myself with.

Monday 1 December 2008

ISTD.

So my ISTD brief has been chosen and discussed with Sally. No ideas as to how I can make it work yet, but the research and information needs to be collected first. I am focusing on the 3 minutes brief as I think this is an amazingly open brief allowing us to do anything we want. My idea is strong and fixed in my head, now all I need to do is make it work!

RESEARCH.

I e-mailed the designers of a website I liked, www.duoh.com.
This is the reply I got. The link was very helpful!


Hi Megan,

I am a student at the Arts Institute of Bournemouth currently studying Visual Communication. Our next project is about web design where we have to design our own online portfolios, are there any tips you can give me? I love this website of yours, it's a really eye-catching design. How do you go about designing something like this?

I look forward to hearing from you. 

That's hard to explain in words because it will be something different for everybody. In my case I wanted to experiment and try something really different. The idea was to work with illustrations but in the first iterations it became a bit too girly so moved forward towards something different but still with the idea of using illustrations. That's when it hit me to use the illustrations as an experiment for people who view the site on bigger monitors. You can read all about how the site came to live in this post:


Your portfolio should represent your personality and you should try to be as original as possible. Make sure your portfolio itself is an example of good web design and talk about what you did for the client so that potential ones see what you did. Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Veerle

FLASH 1.

Re-learning flash has been really useful for me today! It seems so much easier to make websites and links this time around and made sure I've been making extensive notes so I don't forget again.
Today we have learnt about load movie, which is an online gallery and how to upload lots of jpegs in order to keep file size down. Just before this we learnt how to make the simplest of a three page navigation page. 
Now that I've seen what we can do at the most basic points, it gives me a general idea of what we can achieve for this project.

NEW BRIEF // WEB DESIGN.

Our task up until the 23 January next year is to design our own online portfolio. 
I have been looking forward to this brief as it really gives us all a chance to get our identities out there ready to be recognised and snapped up by other major companies.
As of yet I have no ideas on what I want my identity to be or how I want it to look which is the first hurdle I need to cross. 
All in all we have three learning outcomes to achieve, our finished web design, research and demonstrating the process of our work. There's lots to do in this unit, however if it's done properly it can be our identity that will get our names on the map.
I'll need to consider what is going to appear on my online portfolio, the simplicity and ease of functioning and what will make it so unique that it will stand out from all the other online portfolios out there.
Plenty of research is needed here as well as finalising what I would like to call myself, whether I will put my name out there as Megan Corkhill, or a small design group. So far it makes more sense to put my name up as I searched in google for it, and it was the first few links to come up, meaning no other companies have that name.
A lot to take into account here!

VISUAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT 2 : FINAL EVALUATION.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT 2 : PROJECT EVALUATION.

This project has overcome a range of feelings and emotions as I feel like I have applied myself 100% more than last year. 

I particularly found the first project hard, as I wasn’t really expecting to be left completely alone by my tutors and expect to know what I was doing without much guidance. However after a day or so I got my head together and realised that I really need to learn how to be independent and make my own judgements and decisions. I think I took this quite tough at first because I was used to so much guidance in the first year, and wasn’t expecting this sort of treatment so early on. Despite this, I am glad I was dropped in at the deep end so early on, as I managed to pull myself together and use my initiative.
I think I particularly surprised myself when it came to critiques as this is always something I have shied away from, but once I realised we were on our own, an alarm bell must have triggered for me to grow up and start acting professional. Without even realising it, I found myself being one of the main contributors to critiques, and in doing so I have managed to train myself in constructive criticism, something that is very important in the design world.
As for my project, I wanted to take a different approach to what I normally would have gone for, and produce a completely typographical piece of design. I was quite nervous about this, as I have never attempted anything like this, and thankfully it turned out quite well. I believe I used every critique and tutorial to my advantage and applied any necessary changes in order to work to the highest standard that I could.
Right at the end of the week, during the final critique, there was debate between two versions of my poster, and it was a tough choice to have the final say. This gave me great practice in using my initiative, but also realising that most of the design world is based on opinion. Nothing is right or wrong.
Even during this week of poster work I found my computer skills had improved and my confidence was built in all areas, giving me a great foundation to start the year with. 

Out of the three different projects, I definitely found the greeting cards the most enjoyable and satisfying. Although I struggled slightly at the start with ideas and putting my thoughts to paper, once I had my character designs I was on a never ending journey. I was constantly inspired and interested in this project from start to finish, and even throughout my third project as I believed my characters can go further than just greeting cards.
Ideas were always floating around my head during this project and I got really excited seeing it all come to life. Despite only having to produce 6 greeting cards, I went on to produce further work such as 12 Christmas cards, a gift bag, gift tags and wrapping paper. The list could go on if I had more time to complete this project.
Once again I found critiques really useful and always respected what suggestions people had to say about my work. I have been consistent in making any necessary changes after critiques and tutorials in order to improve my work as much as possible.
As I had chosen to go down the route of typography in the previous project, I now chose a more illustrative idea. However this soon turned into using materials to create my characters before scanning them in. This ensured that the materials wouldn’t become tatty over time, but also captured the texture of the materials.
In my opinion this is the most successful project of the three, as I have been constantly entertained with the development. I believe that final pieces always look better when presented to a high standard. I have tried to do this by making some packaging for my products.

My final two sections of this unit proved very different to the other two projects. The first part of our project was to work in small groups to design and produce a pdf presentation reflecting our concepts and rough designs on how we initially want to pursue this task. I worked with Emily, Milla, Dan, Martin and Lianne to create a presentation (shown in A4 folder). We worked really well as a group and constantly bounced ideas off one another in order to approach our concept, ready to present to Neil and Claire at the end of the day. Like all of the other groups, recycling is the way forward, a route that we as a whole group wanted to take. This could be recyclable materials from the sports equipments, or materials such as cardboard and grey board. Alongside this, we thought up ideas to use bits of tyre or wetsuit, either that or make rubbings to capture the textures they give. Initially we wanted the outside of the box to reflect clearly the chosen extreme sport. I think our presentation went well, and once again I surprised myself as I was the one to be the spokesperson. Something I would have never done last year.

Once we completed our one day group project, we had to branch off on our own to produce a piece of Animal packaging. We had two choices here, we could either focus on what we had agreed on as a group and put our own style on it, or use the group work as initial research and progress on to a different idea. I chose the latter of the two choices.
I still focused on what we had learnt as a group and extracted various information to apply to my own work. For example I kept the recyclable materials. I chose to use corrugated cardboard, as this is strong, recyclable and printable. The template I chose was designed to flat pack when not in use, and slot together using just one strip of glue, making the folds and flaps an important characteristic. The design was strongly influenced by my previous work in my editorial illustrations last year, a flyer and a website I came across called www.plastickid.dk. I thought the design in black and white on a brown background and using just one colour was effective and easily adjustable to appeal to both male and female audiences. 

My chosen target audience was young adults aged between 18-30. Initially I wanted to aim towards a more unisex design, however during my design processes, this quickly changed to a separate male and female box. I found my tutorials and critiques extremely useful during this project as I felt I came up against a number of hurdles, however once I was able to get the opinions of my peers and tutors, my mind was soon settled and I could see clearly how my finished result was going to look.


Overall, throughout this whole unit I have felt constantly motivated to strive to achieve the highest standard that I can, straight away proving how much I have matured since last year. I am beginning to see, think and sleep design and forming a passion for this subject area, something I lacked in last year. This has been particularly helped by my growing confidence and the ability to make my own decisions, no matter how big nor small. I have developed a much more professional attitude towards everything I have been challenged with, and this alone is going to help me through the next year. Although I feel as though I am constantly working, I am however enjoying every minute despite how stressful it can get. It's all part of the learning.

WHAT A SUCCESSFUL EVENING :)

Well last night we attended the launch party for Ink Bar. We turned up at about 6pm and stayed, drinking free champagne until we left at 11.30!
We met quite a few important people, one of which was Andy Price, owner of the Ink Bar (as well as The Print Rooms, Aruba, WestBeach). Our photograph should be appearing in a couple of magazines, DV8 being one of them, and the local newspaper. All very exciting! We were interviewed briefly by a PR from Liz Lean, so I look forward to see what was written about us!
It was amazing to see all our work on the windows, menus, invitations and flyers, it still didn't seem real though. We have been invited back early next week to be treated with dinner from Andy Price and to receive all printed media of our work, as well as having yet more photographs taken. 
If anyone sees our photographs, keep a copy for me please!
More updates to follow soon.

NOT LONG NOW!

Ok so only a matter of hours now until the launch day, very exciting. I got my flyer all completely finished and ready for printing today and will see it for real tomorrow aswell as it is getting distributed on Richmond Hill! :)
Here's what the end result looks like, keep an eye out for it!

I'M SO EXCITED!

So today is the day the InkBar actually opens, and we are awaiting tomorrow's launch party which we have V.I.P passes to :) All very exciting!
James and myself received a phone call today giving us feedback on our work, we need to make slight adjustments, but my flyer is getting printed today ready to be handed out up Richmond Hill tomorrow!! Wow. James' invitations have already been printed, and more need to be printed as 100 people have already R.S.V.P and the bar can only hold a capacity of 90...so it's going to be pretty rammed tomorrow hopefully!
We have also been told that it is confirmed that there will be press coverage and we will be talking to quite important people about our work. Daunting but it's going to be amazing!
I was excited just to see our logo in the window during refurbishments last weekend, but tomorrow it's all going to fall into place and become real!

MORE BIC PREPARATIONS.

Today Neil approached me and asked for some more help in the preparations for the show this weekend. I have been given a couple of tickets to go and see our work on display which I am really looking forward to. James and myself will be going on Sunday 23rd.
I had to take a few photographs myself today as Neil preferred some of the greeting cards on a black background, and with help from George, we were able to do this. They looked good! We'll see how they all look after Neil has arranged them in to some sort of order on the computer.

Meanwhile I have continued to work on my Animal packaging project and making sure I have all the necessary bits ready for the hand in.

Monday 17 November 2008

BIC SHOW.

A few of my peers and myself have been approached to put our greeting cards from the previous project up on display at the B.I.C next weekend. Me and Dan put ourselves forward to help in putting this display together, which involved taking photographs and later arranging them in to a suitable order on the computer ready for printing next week.
Dan was in charge of taking the photographs, they came out really well! I can't wait to see what they look like up in front of the public :)

ANIMAL//CRITIQUE.

I felt that I received positive feedback for my ideas and designs despite being one of the last in the group to present my box, therefore leaving little time to get the most out of the critique. However, I was able to make some notes along the way, reminding me of what I need to consider and include in my project. For example, how will my watch sit in the box?
A few people mentioned that the box looks bare on the slanted side and suggested that maybe I should put the Animal logo there, where it is a window or a stamp.
I need to consider how my watch will sit in the box. Talking to Dan just before the critique he mentioned an idea that stuck in my head, which was to fill it with small polystyrene balls, protective and also resembles snowballs, tying in with my snowboarding theme. Another approach to this would be to have a cardboard insert, which ties in with the whole eco-friendly/recycled idea I had originally been aiming towards.
Neil noticed that on my mock-up that I had produced for the critique, my blue line was round the wrong way, I need to fix this ready for hand-in.

All in all, it was good constructive feedback which I was very happy with. I just need to apply these ideas now to give my box a complementary finish.

Thursday 13 November 2008

PREPARING FOR THE CRITIQUE.

I know I still need to push my idea further ready for tomorrow's critique, however I have made a few changes since my initial designs, and will need to transfer them on to my box ready for tomorrow. As I have spent all my time on the Ink Bar and the design for my graphics, I haven't fully thought out how my box will function.
I have looked at a few different concepts and believe that the choice I have made will prove successful if I approach it in the right way. Below is the net of my box which I have chosen to use alongside my design:

On the front of the box there will be a slanted face, somewhere which I am debating what to do with it. Hopefully someone will suggest something for this during the critique.
I have also progressed with my graphics a little, by experimenting with the blue stripes a little more, and the positioning of the graphics on my box. 

Here I have copied and reflected my original landscape so that the whole image flows smoothly around the outside of the packaging instead of mismatching. I decided to put a gradient on the colour to make it gradual around the perimeter of the box before reaching full colour and stopping suddenly. I think this design is effective. Once I was happy with my design I placed it on the template to see how it could sit.

As you can see from this diagram, the point where the blue stripes stop is on the front of the box. I think this works best as opposed to any of the other sides of the box, as the front is the first thing you see. The blue will come out a lot differently once printed on brown paper, which is the effect I want.
As for the inside of the box, I want this colour to continue. I was initially going to use a texture, but as I didn't have the Animal logo anywhere on the box yet, I decided to put it here. Below is an example of how I have used it:

As you can see, I have used the male and female logo depending on who the watch is for. The outer box is quite unisex so my idea was to separate the two by a difference of design on the inside.
This is my final design, ready for the critique:

More photographs to follow.

PROGRESSION OF DESIGNS.

Building on my scanned/photocopied image I wanted to incorporate some colour. I have chosen a bright blue to represent the crisp skies that appear in professional extreme sports photographs.

This is how I initially imagined how my design would look. However it doesn't show much brown paper, therefore I need to review my ideas.
I have decided to use less colour on the outside, and focus on putting the colour inside the box to make it more interesting. I have used stripes in my design as it is simple and makes the design look quite contemporary.
In my opinion the design I would like to take forward is the third one down where the stripes stop 3/4 of the way along and are at the top to represent the colour of the sky more. I feel this is the most appealing and I have more scope to work with the layout once it is on the box.
I have two days until the critique, all I need to do now is push this idea a little further before presenting it on Friday.

Tuesday 11 November 2008

ANIMAL//INITIAL DESIGNS.

Now that I have an idea to put forward, I now need to put it into practice. 
I want my graphic to be quite photographical instead of vector images so I researched various landscapes. I then selected particular sections of each image and collaged them together. Before this collage I tried a few out and this is the layout I settled with as it was my most effective design.
Below is how my image looked before any adjustments:

I then took this design to the photocopier to get a grainy black and white image. The effect was just what I was looking for, however in order for my image to be easily produced I had to scan it in. This refined the image slightly and neatened it, but I had to work with it on the computer and this was the only way to get close to the effect that I wanted. Ideally I would have like to use photocopying and printing in order to produce my design but this would be far to time consuming. I did try using cellulose thinner with my photocopied landscape, but unfortunately this idea failed.
I scanned in my image and printed it on brown paper to see how it would print:

This isn't what I had expected it to print out like, however I think I prefer it this way. I originally wanted the white to print out and show up on the brown paper, but I love the way it's just turned out with black on brown paper. Limiting the number of colours will also produce reduce printing costs.

INK BAR//FINAL FLYER.

In response to my initial design I received the following e-mail from Chloe:

Hey Megan

This looks good. Just a suggestion, but have you thought about moving
the text around in the columns and in the paragraphs to help with the
symmetry of the flyer? You can always play about with the headings of
each column if you think that something could work a little better?

What do you think?

Chloe Parmiter

I tried swapping a bit of the text around to make the flyer look a little more balanced, below is the final flyer I sent off:

I am a lot happier with this design despite only tweaking it slightly. Now our work is done, all we need to do is wait for the launch! I can't wait to see our work finally printed up for everyone to see!

Sunday 9 November 2008

INK BAR//INITIAL FLYER

Using the information I was sent, and my design chosen by Chloe, I have started to assemble my flyer. Below is the first draft:

I have used the same fonts and elements as the invitations to keep a running theme.

Saturday 8 November 2008

INK BAR//THE FLYER.

As Chloe has decided to use James' designs for the invitations, she has asked me to use my designs for the Ink Bar flyer to promote their bar. Below is the e-mail I was sent informing me of this opportunity:

Hey Megan

We really liked your designs for your invitations, however on this 
occasion we have chosen James's. But I would like to use your design 
for another flyer we would like to design. If you feel you have too 
much on with uni, then let us know. Otherwise we would like you to 
create a A6 flyer that we can hand out on Richmond Hill to entice 
people into Ink. We would like you to base it round the design with 
thick ink and white text on front.

This will promote the Happy Hour at Ink - did our graphic designer 
give you the Time2DRink logo? Can you also use George's Think Lunch 
logo too (see attached) Keep it simple - I will email you over the 
words.

Let me know if there are any problems with this. Its a great 
opportunity get a finished promotion into your portfolio!
I look forward to hearing from you.


Chloe

Attached to this e-mail was all the information I need to include.
This layout was later changed to a DL sized flyer divided into three sections as Chloe thought there was too much information to put on to an A6 flyer.

Friday 7 November 2008

INK BAR UPDATE.

It makes it all a little better when your work gets recognised and people want to use your ideas, it doesn't seem like such a waste of time after all.
I received this e-mail from Chloe today:

Hey Megan

We really liked your designs for your invitations, however on this 
occasion we have chosen James's. But I would like to use your design 
for another flyer we would like to design. If you feel you have too 
much on with uni, then let us know. Otherwise we would like you to 
create a A6 flyer that we can hand out on Richmond Hill to entice

words.

Let me know if there are any problems with this. Its a great 
opportunity get a finished promotion into your portfolio!
I look forward to hearing from you.


Although I do feel as though everything is going on at once, it would be an amazing achievement to see my design printed on something that was being handed out to the public. I really think our group has worked really well together, we have all had a close connection on this project and we can't wait to see our work in real life. It will make it all worth while I think.
