OUGD503 Studio Brief 1 Penguin Design Awards - Evaluation
I chose this brief as I thought it would be interesting to delve into publication design and would be a good skill set to have. The fact that we had to interpret the books given to design the cover really appealed to me. The book 'How to be a Woman' for my selected category appealed to me even more as this is such an open, broad statement that there were so many possibilities to explore.
There was a lot of problem solving tackled during this brief. I wanted my design to be really concept driven rather than going for obvious. This was a challenge but a challenge that I really enjoyed. I feel that my design ultimately is a lot stronger due to it being concept driven. This has taught me different ways I can interpret a brief and how important concepts are within design.
I believe my design achieves my aim of clearly conveying that the book is entertaining and humorous. This is one of the main deliverables of the brief, and what really drove my ideas for my design, as well as my research which really helped to inform my final design. Therefore I feel I have successfully achieved what the brief has asked.
I would of liked to of made the illustrations more clear as one of the illustration is cut off and looks a bit unfinished. Unfortunately my time management wasn't the best it could be, and I made a decision to accept it how it was to move onto other briefs. I still believe however that the final design is successful.
