OUGD504: Design for Print and Web, session 1

As a preparatory task for the session we were asked to bring in three briefs from the selection we had been given. We were then asked to highlight all the words which we thought were important. We were analysing the briefs to see how structured they were, and how defined the briefs are.

I decided to go with 'The Train standing at platform two'. We then answered six sets of questions based on where we could take the brief etc.

5 Problems Brief Propose

• Consider using typographic experiment and craft
• Can you connect any events or people from history in an imaginative way?
• Who is the audience?
• People don't know enough about our history?
• How to apply it to print/screen/combined media

How Can I Solve This Problem

• Create an event which highlights connection?
• Design something which will get people engaged
• Combine typography and photography?
• What audience would something like this be appropriate for
• Research figures in history who had the power to connect to people.

5 Facts about Content/Subject

• My design is only limited by my imagination.
• I am able to go down any route I want
• Eventually everything connects

5 Facts about the Audience

• It's up to the designer to define this
• Who would be interested in history?
• No age range is specified

5 Things about Content I Want to Communicate

• How famous figures have connected to an audience through history?
• How have people connected through non-verbal communication 
• Technical/contextual references
• Social networking, and how people connect via the internet?

5 Things I Don't Know About The Brief

• Specific audience
• what exactly it is that they are asking for
• How much they want me to produce
• In what format I need to produce my design.
