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.

   This tutorial shows how to make a party flyer by photoshop. For me, It still quite hard to make flyer by photoshop. When I watched this video, I don't know many technics that he uses and quite confuse with it. But anyway it is a good start to learn with someone's work first.

•  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

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.

GROUP EXERCISE – Concept Realisation

Selecting: materials,tools, equipment 
Discuss your choice of the above as a group – give reasons    

My exhibition work : Pop up Book

Materials 
- A4 paper (white)
- A3 Hard board (white, black, gay)
- Hard paper
- Color paper (multi colour)
- Glue

Tools
- Scissors

- Cutter

- Ruler

- Pen , Pencil

- Water colour

Equipment
- Scanner
- Computer 
- Photoshop program
- Photographs
- Printer
- Camera



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.

3D LOGO MOCKUP Tutorial

This video is a 3D logo mockup tutorial. Actually, when I watch it, i don't really understand it but I try to. It is a different technic which some of it I haven't known before. I think these video is very useful but hopefully someone will make it in Thai version so that I I can understand clearly.

b) Design Challenges

 Design from Methavi

Material – inner tube, plastic basin, two-piece caddle

Shape - round

Power – energy from human

a) Design Exploration

- The concept is very clever but need to develop design.

b) Design Challenges

 It is a very good idea for personal eco-transport but how about these things?

            - Safe?

            - Convenient?

My design

Function - float on the water

                - light

                - come with 2 paddle and 1 seat 

Materials - 70 plastic bottles (0.5 liter), wire, plastic paper tape, 2paddle

a) Design Exploration

- develop design.

b) Design Challenges

            - Safe?

            - Convenient?

PRACTICAL – Design Exploration

 30 mins – Choose your favourite concept from all your current 3D designs

• Use any tools you wish

• Put the results and a paragraph of description in your Blog

• Through a combo of research and creative thinking explore the possibilities of

concept experimentation, variation and evaluation

• List these items clearly, draft examples and explain your thinking

            o Two Experiments

o Pros & Cons

o Choosing & Refusing

Favorite concept 3D design : Bottle Boat

My Bottle boat 

This idea I get it from Thailand. We always face with flood. In that situation, everything around us which can be useful will be used to produce the necessary things like boat. One of the useful things is plastic bottles

Two Experiments

1. This is a similarity with my boat but this one use the bigger plastic bottles to make boat. This boat was designed for two seats and come with long shape.

2. This bottle boat is combination between bottle and wood. It comes with the seat and work like you cycling. 

Pros & Cons

Choosing & refusing

I think this two design are very clever for eco-transport but I think the first would be a better one for the concept "personal Eco-transport. The second might use more metarial and more expensive than the first one.

I think my idea and Methvi's idea are the same. We thinking about boat for the personal eco-transport. This is another guy who try to make his boat by bottle and it can use. Actually, everything around us could be use to make something that can help our life easier and don't need to spend a lot of money on it. Bottle boat is one of the example about eco-trasport which use bottles to make and it also can help our world from global warming.

Work by Methavi Pontip

1 : Design Exploration

The photo is taken with iPhone when she went to Mindil beach a month ago. It's the photo of fireworks. She added a filter through Instagram app to make it looks a bit. Then she adjusted brightness, contrast and the image size with Photoshop.

- colour exploration to make the picture more obvious

2 : Design Challenges

- Hard to read the text if you put it as a background

My work

My favorite design concept from last week : Mobile mirror

 

Mobile mirror

It looks like normal mobile but it is decorated by small pieces of mirror. The screen is made by mirror so it can reflect.

More research

From my research, actually there are many products which has the same concept with my mobile mirror

Two experiment

1. A mobile which has design like a mirror. this design was very popular in Asia girl before. The mobile can use and have all functions like normal mobile phone but design is an interesting thing.  






2. A screen guarder. This one is a common thing which I think almost everyone put on their mobile phone but this screen guarder is made like a mirror. If you put it on your phone, you can use it as a mirror and it also make your mobile look different and protect your screen as the same time.

Choosing and refusing
I think the second one would be better idea for mobile mirror. The first one used to be famous but fashion is never stop and this design might not popular anymore. For the second one, it could be good as long as people still use mobile phone.

This video is a preview about the screen guarder which look like a mirror. I think this is a good idea to make your mobile become more useful. It is a good combination between mobile and mirror and it's possible to make and people accept it.
