Diss Design // Final Outcome

Criticality Mock-Ups

In order to show how I would want the final look of my cards to be I have done a few mock-ups just to show the scale size and feel of the overall design.

Diss Design// Mock Ups

 

In my feedback Email from David he told me to consider how I would portray my diss design in the respect of doing mock-up, I want to focus on the fact that I originally wanted my book to be concealed within another book and I tried to mock this up in one image and then I mocked up some double page spreads fro the actual design document.

This is what David said;

Consider how best to show the outcome in portfolio, a dummy of the document, showing format and scale,  along with a selection of strong double page spreads should be sufficient. Do your work Justice – always.

Seeing as we can’t have an actual physical outcome to show or photograph I want to make sure that my document mock-ups would be able to give slight insight in to how the final product would look.

Diss Design// Type

Some of my feedback from David was to re-think some of the typeface choices thatch had made, but after doing a few experiments with what I wanted and I really struggled to narrow it all down therefore I had a Skype tutorial with him and we spoke through the idea of meeting narrowing down my four typefaces.

We managed to take it down to my display typeface; Ivy Mode

and my body text; Avant Garde

Both of these typefaces work well together and as David pointed out I don’t need to have a third typeface that would act as a ‘stereotype’ this is down to the fact that with a light weight of Avant Garde alongside the colour scheme it could definitely be portrayed as a “feminine” typeface. I had a quick look at some designs that had already been done with Avant Garde and I really think it gives me room to playground a bit more.

After looking at a few of these and having a few different designs I changed within some aspects the design document I have some up with a new way to display some of the messages that I have.

I liked the idea of having “subliminal messages” but David suggested me to get rid of the typeface that I had already used in the document and test some others.  I have has a new way of playing around with the subliminal messages shown and I have used a Light weighted Avant Garde typeface and I have used the two different colours and places around with repetition and opacity in order to create a messy/ more subliminal approach.
