Evaluations

Brief 1

I enjoyed creating and researching for my typography, I found a lot of type that I liked and have expanded my knowledge on how many different types there are. I think that my typography matches the brief and the aim of this project and I am happy with the work I have produced. If I was to change my typography I would have added a few more lines to my type and adjusted some of the lettering. Also, if I had more time, would have created a few more mock ups of my type being used in different formats.

Brief 2

I found this brief very challenging, but i feel that as a group we worked really well and have produced some good work. I think that our final design is suitable for the target demographic we have chosen, and i feel we have followed and exceeded the brief. The main thing i would change if i did this project again would be that i would work alone. The main reason for this being that it was much more challenging working as a group and finding times where we could all meet, and making sure that we all had equal input into the work we produced. I think however, we worked really well under these circumstances and produced a product we are all happy with and have all taken care into making.

In terms of the design itself, I really like the theme we have chosen and the layout of each of our designs and outputs. We have created something fun and colourful, yet also informative, which was what we was aiming for. Each element of our design we have thoroughly thought about, and everything is sized and placed for a reason, and in awareness of our demographic.

Progress

I think I have made major progress in the development of my ideas of my design, for example shown in these two images of my first and final draft of the app home page:

Week 6 (BRIEF 2)

This week I finalised my drafts for my designs:

APP HOME PAGE-

I added some stars to my design and moved the placement of the graphics around a bit. I am happy with this final design.

Here is my final design for the ‘Earth’ page for the app:

App final final12

I have altered the placement of the text on this page, i think it works a lot better here and looks more professional. I have also added the stars that i added on the home page to add to continuity.

Here is my final design for the ‘Saturn’ page of the app:

I decided I did not like the random letter placement in my previous draft, so I removed them and replaced them with stars.

Here is my final design for the ‘Earth’ website page:

I altered pretty much all of this page from my first draft, starting with the menu bar at the top, which I feel is much more fitting for a web design output. I then changed the placement of the graphics and added some more graphic such as the moon and the stars. I aligned the text to the left instead of over the top of the planet like in the last draft. I think this makes the text much more readable.

Final design for ‘Saturn’ website page:

I used the menu bar that i had used on the ‘Earth’ page, and added the star graphics to the page. I also changed the layout of the text from on top of the planet to make it more readable.
