Jacob

1.  Effectiveness of design process

He did very well on the process. His process are sketch first and then put in the illustrator and also use Indesign. It's a good process that he can see the story and develop the idea very easy.

2.  Effectiveness of concept communication

His story is very clear. Not many text in the story and that makes it very to understand.

Cherill
1.  Effectiveness of design process
It's a very good process here. She is not only designs and shows the colours very obvious but she also do some test printing to look at the the colour and see hoe it work. That is a very good thing to do and I always forget about it. It can help us develop our work easier.  
2.  Effectiveness of concept communication
Her helmet cover are suite for lady and I think, that's right in the colours and design. Lady like something look pretty. 

Queenie
1.  Effectiveness of design process
Her process is very good here. She do some sketching first and took note about her concept. Then, use illustrator to make it. I always think that do sketching is the best way to start the process and here she did well. She is not only do it just once but also develop the idea and test in many ways.
2.  Effectiveness of concept communication
I really the way that she put the text "come on! jump in!". It makes me feel like it fun and the colour is lively. So, overall can tell the concept very obvious. 

 My work
1.  Effectiveness of design process
I do took note first and then did some sketch to look what is going to look like. After that, find the pictures in the internet and use Photoshop. Actually the process I think it's good but I should use my own photos or draw the pictures.
2.  Effectiveness of concept communication
My concept is "Exhibition crack your perspective" and I think the picture is good for communication. Just  few things that I worry that people may thing that it is the exhibition about cooking!!

PRACTICAL – Design Realisation

30 mins – Develop 2D Exhibition Designs / 10 mins Blog 

In my 2D exhibition design, there are some areas that I have to develop
- The pictures
I should use my own photos. I may draw the pictures or thane the pictures of the eggs in the style that I want. Then put in photoshop again. 
- The texts
The texts look too small and not obvious. I should develop the texts to make it look bigger and easier to read. 

Research

Here is a video making flyer by photoshop.

Week10 3D

GROUP EXERCISE – Concept Evaluation

Reflecting on the effectiveness of your design process and concept communication PART 1 – 20 mins
The GROUP verbally evaluates each member’s 3D Exhibition work
Scribe writes a summary paragraph on the 2 points below fro each member

1. 1.  Effectiveness of design process

PART 2 - 10 mins Blog
Each student post the group results in your blog with images and descriptive text

Cherill
1.  Effectiveness of design process
With her helmet covers. the process is very good. She did a lot of research and also talked to the experts about materials. More over, she also did some survey to get the information from people about design.
2.  Effectiveness of concept communication
In her exhibition work. There are many designs for different gender and age like for lady, man and kids. I think the design that I have seen from Cherill's design is pretty cool and can tell us very easy that she want to design it for the lady.

Queenie

1.  Effectiveness of design process

Her process is very good. She did the sketch first and then put it in the illustrator. The whole story also is put in the table to see all the plan. That's my favourite way in her work.

2.  Effectiveness of concept communication

Her concept before was about the little teddy go to supermarket and meet his friends. Actually, I like that idea but now she changes the concept to be something about Darwin. That's much better in my opinion. Her story also have a lot of picture about interesting place in Darwin. It's good for kids and also can be a guid book for tourists.  

Jacob

1.  Effectiveness of design process

His Angry bird is very cute. I used to make paper marchra before and I know how it work. The process is not very complicate but need a lot of patient to make it. He found the materials around house to create art work and that's cool! 

2.  Effectiveness of concept communication

His inspiration comes from his son and I think if he wants to do something for his son to have fun with it. This is a very good thing to communicate with kids. Angry bird is a popular carector and his like it. I treacly like the final result in his video that his son play with it.

My work

1.  Effectiveness of design process

I did my pop up book by sketched first and then drew the pictures. If some pictures i can't draw, I would use the photographs. After that I used photoshop to edit all picture and printed it on the paper then did pop up. There are many kinds of paper that I used. I tried to find the best paper to make pop up and I tested it many times before I did pop up. 

2.  Effectiveness of concept communication

In my story is about the travelling "From Thailand to Darwin". The pop up picture and the text also about Thailand and life in Darwin. I think this thing can communicate with the reader well.

PRACTICAL – Design Realisation

20 mins – Develop 3D Exhibition Designs / 5 mins Blog 

In my pop up book, there are some area that I have to improve. 
- The pictures
I need to draw more pictures.
- Cover page
It quite a big work on it because it is the first page. Now, I still find the idea about it.
- Pop up pages
There are 3 pages left that I have to make. I still thinking about the pictures and the design. I already sketched these pages but still need more idea because sometime when I make it, It doesn't come up like my plan. Design and type of paper are very important thing.

Research

I try to design my cover page for my pop up book and here are some websites that I did research. I want to make my cover page in a cartoon style by my drawing.

This is the color style that I want for my cover page

This is another video which has background color and style like the one that I want to make for my cover page. I want my cover page to be a cartoon style. The main colors that I want are blue and green. Moreover, I will put multi-color and lovely cartoons to tell a little bit of story in my cover page. I want the reader can guess what my book is about when they see the cover page.

26+ Amazing flyer design

When I did my work, I had a look on many websites. www.smokingdesigners.com, this website is a good one to show good flyer design. It also provide good idea to produce more attractive, good to read and effective flyer.

1. Here is one of my favourite design. The text is readable and this flyer look basic but attractive and can tell what they want to tell obviously. The colour  is pretty good for me because I like white and black  colour. This flyer make more attractive by putting a little bit more colours like blue and yellow.

Week7 3D

 PRACTICAL – Design Communication 

Choose one design from last weekʼs 2 sketched designs (sports & fashion)

 

1.  Make a list of 2 key concepts you are trying to communicate 

2.  Make a list of 2 key feelings your trying to communicate

3.  REFINE your design concept to communicate these 4 things

4.  Prepare to present your communication skills to the class. 

5.  Upload all this content to your blog

 2 key concepts

- Basic

- Meaningful 

2 key feelings

- interesting

- fun

•  Design 01: Design in a style that appeals to a community sports group

Thai boxing T-shrit

This is a T-shrit for Thai boxing fan club and Thai boxing comunity. The design is created by boxing glove and some Thai and English text. Actually, I think the design is not quite good. It still has some more thing to put to make it better.












•  Design 02: Design in a style that appeals to a fashion label

                                                                                    T-shirt tell status

I used to design some cartoons on the bag and T-shirt before.  In Thailand, some kind of fashion like this T-shirts are very popular in group of teenager. The T-shirt was design by the text to tell the status like "single, in relationship", or some text like "I'm lonely, I need someone and I love you". In my design, I put more cute pictures in the T-shrit like the picture to make it more interesting and more attractive.

 GROUP EXERCISE – Concept Investigation 

Using a scale of 1 – 10,

each group assigns a quantitative rating for all the designs,  

based on the three criteria below

1.  Clear rendition of 2 key concepts

2.  Clear rendition of 2 key feelings

3.  Immediate visual appeal 

Each student post the group results in your blog 

Myself

1.  Clear rendition of 2 key concepts - 7

2.  Clear rendition of 2 key feelings - 6

3.  Immediate visual appeal -7

Cherill Hopkins

1.  Clear rendition of 2 key concepts - 8

2.  Clear rendition of 2 key feelings -8

3.  Immediate visual appeal -8

I have seen this kind of t-shirt and I think it's really cool. It like a new kind of fashion T- shirt by putting light system inside. I think it's famous for teenager. It is not only light but it also can move like a short video on your T-shirt and that make it amazing. I think it a good idea to attract customer's attention.

Discuss your choice of materials,tools, and equipment.

At first, I chose to use hard board to make the page and make pop up but after I tried to make pop up book, I found that it doesn't work for pop up. It's too hard. So, we discussed and changed to use hard paper which is thiner than hard board to make pop up. Most of work,I will draw and use photograph then print its on white paper and put its on the hard board. After, use colour paper and water-colour to decorate. So, I need al of those materials,tools, and equipment. All of those materials are suitable. 

Here is some page that I have done.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm429PsFa6s

This is a Harry potter Pop up Book which is my inspiration for my exhibition work. I used to do pop up card before and I really enjoy it. For pop up book is very challenging for me because when I started to work on it, I found that it's harder than I think. It need a lot of detail and need to spend a lot of time even one page. I want to make my work become a good pice of work but yes! it's really hard for me.
