Final hand in

Rationale

Week 6 - Thursday

Lydia reflection 

Throughout this paper I found the rapid ideation at the begining of this project very helpful, I took it more seriously than previous modules and found the value in it. It was also very interesting to start thinking about transmedia, and how different media outputs are good for different purposes. If I was to do this project again I would try and and develop a more creative way to present the flyer as the characters could have used in a fun way to communicate information other that a booklet, such as fridge magnets.  

Averil reflection

I found it helpful when we drew a lot of thumbnails in a short amount of time ad this encouraged me to be more open and not think too hard about what im drawing. This resulted in me coming up with more ideas. The interim presentation were another thing I found helpful as this was a chance to gain really helpful feedback to imporve our designs. It was good to have different eyes look at our designs as they usually have helpful critique and suggestions. Next time I would like to push myself further and be more creative especially with the flyer. I want to be more open and go outside of the box a bit more.

Final adjustments

Since Mondays session we have adjusted small things on our flyer. We made some of the text bigger and tidied up some of illustrations as well as added some shadows to the characters to stop them looking like they were floating on the page. 

For our final poster we changed the background to have curved edges so that it tied in with the shapes in our flyer and website. 

When made small adjustments to our website by making some of the text larger to make it easier to read. We also made the top image larger to make it more engaging when the website is first entered.

Rethink of reverse brief

Week 6

Throughout the development of this project we have realised targeting only young flatters excluded too many people. We felt we we wanted to make the event more inclusive and fun for everyone which is why we have chosen this idea of 'the perfect team' and have used characters. This idea makes our event more family orientated but doesn't exclude other people, like young flatters and anyone else who might want to join in. 

Mobile Layout

Week 6

We have moved onto thinking about our mobile layout for the website as we have pretty much completed the website. We have put everything in one line and made sure everything is big enough to see and 'click'. We just need to put it on invision and include interactive aspects like the website

Finalising!

Week 6 - Monday

We have been adding final touches to our poster and flyer and they are now almost completed!

We have altered things like colours and the style of our characters to make everything stand out and look more engaging. We have lightened the blue colour to make the flyer look softer and made the icons all white to look more consistant. We have made the cover have curved edges like the poster and used only 3 characters accross the covers as this looks stronger. We have focussed a lot on making the characters on the inside look as if they relate to the text to make each page fun and engaging.

Once we imported our website in to invision, we realised the scale wasn't right, because we put bottoms on each of our pages they got cut off at the bottom, which made it hard to read. Because of this we have re-organised the layout to make each page flow together better.
