Typography Design- T-Shirt Design Sketches
Sketches and variation for the typography design exercise. :)
Good and Bad SP Campus posters
This looks like something that's done in a hurry. The image of the t-shirt is standing out, not exactly in the good way, and it looks really out of place. Moreover, the font and texts just really repels people away (no offence).
The arrangement of the texts in this poster is not one that i would recommend as it makes the whole poster look really messy. Also, it is risking a case of information overload. Too many dates, venues etc, will just leave the audiences confused. As the human brain prefers to process simple stuff, this poster would not be as effective when it comes to bringing across the message as there are information literally all over the place.
Good:
I'm rather fond of this design as the overall aesthetic appeal of it is really rather amazing. Plus, it has the 'stopping-power' which would make people stop and look at it. Strictly black-and-white with less formal looking fonts, it effectively portrays the professional yet hip and trendy vibe. As such, it is one of my favourites.
This is a very daring design as like i've mentioned above, posters that are wordy tend to risk information overload. However, the treatment of this poster and the one under the 'Bad' category is rather different. Texts are arranged in a manner that's not so messy and the fact that the designer effectively used the element of high contrast (black and white) makes this poster a good one. It looks professional with a twist. Something that i look out for when it comes to poster designs for academic events etc etc.
Open House (Poly) Designs. (Group 3)
Nanyang Polytechnic:
Republic Polytechnic:
The pictures above are just some shots of the different designs that were used to for open house in the respective polytechnics. Among the three polytechnics, i would choose Ngee Ann's designs as the ones that i'm more fond of.
The designs for the main building are rather clean cut and professional, just the exact image that the school is trying to portray. Fonts used were consistent, creating a more lasting brand image in the audience's minds. The designs used for each faculty were somehow the same, just different colours, again, it sufficed the whole idea of having consistency.
Their poster designs are simple, not too wordy and effectively carries the message across to the audiences. Thus, in general, i would say that Ngee Ann's designs are the best among the tree.
Good Logo Designs
This is an amazingly clever design. It is simple and definitely memorable since it's highly relevant to what it's supposed to portray. Moreover, it effectively symbolises the 'Food', with the fork, and the 'Wine' with the wine bottles, both incorporated into one.
Apple logo, simple, straight-forward, memorable... 'Nuff said.
Bad Logo Designs
This logo design is not exactly good as the image and the words, when arranged in this way, would give an illusion that the brand name is 'Sinkist' instead of 'Sunkist'.
Even though i personally like abstract art, i'd have to admit that abstract art, when used in logos, is actually a big mistake. It adds on to unwanted complexities and might not be as memorable as other, simpler looking (yet memorable) logos.
Wednesday
Random Designs
This is just a random sketch of several designs that i came up with with the word 'Perennial', which is actually a self-formed dance crew.
Dance is something in which i enjoy very much and as such, usually, when i'm just doing random doodles, words relating to anything music or dance related would pop into my head.
Poster Design Sketches
Logo Sketches
First idea, the most cliche of all, would be the linkage between the word 'Morphosis' and butterflies.
Second idea, DNA. I'm more fond of this idea as compared to the first one as i think it's more original. When i think of morphosis, i'd think of 'Change', and eventually, it led me to think of Genes in a foetus. Thus, the idea of DNA came to mind.
This was a random idea that formed as i was staring at the rice cooker, waiting for my meal to be re-heated. I saw the 'Start' button and thought about how it can be used as part of the logo. It can be something that gives a call to action.
This sketch is more of me trying to play around with the words itself. I didn't realize that my first sketch was actually something that was already used until my lecturer pointed out that it looks REALLY similar to the one that 'Motorola' is using.
