30/3/14
Waiting for my last critique tomorrow. Then it is ready to print!.
Hoping to see lots of good designs by others :)

stain glass refine

29/3/14

Stain glass process/ refine

1st mockup

-using coloring pencil so i could get scratchy effect.

Color didn't quite match Wellington.

2nd mockup

-Using photoshop paint tool instead of coloring pencil.

Colors represented Wellington but i didn't include colors in my brochure.

3rd mockup Darker version

- Hand drawn and colored instead of photoshop color tool

so i could represent Wellington is city of art.

It is full of passion and artistic atmosphere.

I've drawn hills,sea and wind line 

to represent Wellington's Weather and environment.

lighter version

mid-tone version

(what i prefer to use in my final: because of soft tone that matches with my other brochure page)

Map refine& introduction page

28/3/14
I've tried to incorporate stain glass idea into the spread.
But it did not get along well with my other designs.

        1st attempt for introduction& map spread.

Line coming through bottom of page represents wind level&Hill lines in wellington.

I've realized Thordon was in hilly area.

2nd attempt for introduction&map spread

I've reduced size of the text and changed map.

Instead of having lots of colour in it I have drawn the map and scanned it.

It feels more like city.

Lastly Refined for introduction&map spread

I've tried to make intro page consistent with other spreads.

Included circle and square down right side of the page

changed layout a little.

Brochure design, refining stage

23/3/14 

Finally got my whole brochure done For VCD studio, Still have lots to refine 

I'm happy about critiques that I get from classmates, that will keep me going for now.

 -when i folded this I realized that the width needed to be longer.

 -Texts are all in caps so it is really hard for people to read: pull all the text down to lower case. + reduce the letter size and change font to Garamond.
-catholic church architecture under icons looks a bit random. Put it in heading.
-pics under the map are out of grid, reduce the size and align it with icons.
-Create my own map. Maybe with stain glass.
but i will have to find a way to incorporate stain glass idea with other spreads as well for consistency.

-Body copy: Garamond
-Try to incorporate stain glass idea with spreads
-Pull out circle on the right to see if it flows better.

 -Body copy: Garamond

 -Design wise this is great, but it might be a bit random.
Try to put address under maps and bring in some fun fact about this churches
FOR EXAMPLE Materials that the building was built in. (putting wood texture in)
Organs for Old st paul's, Pillars for sacred heart etc.

-abstracted stain glass.

I was totally going for hills and seas and wind in Wellington

Squiggly line quality comes from Wellington art culture.

but my designs for brochure have thin lines and lots of spaces around it

so i might as well change design of stain glass 

and bring in colours from inside of brochure so it doesn't look too random.

St Paul's Cathedral spread 3rd spread

4th Design after thumbnail is well resolved. I should refine it more and make 2 other spreads based on this one.

2nd attempt on brochure

17/314
I had several stages of refining.
I had to fix up whole typography again because it wasn't communicating well with the subject matter.

Wednesday afternoon will be a great day to spend my time on VCD studio work.
I better stop drawing 2D thumbnails and keep on producing something 3D.

Patterns, inspirations

15/3/13

I was totally thrilled to see this on the way back from my work.

 I don't really know how to incorporate it but i will use it somehow in my design:)

16/3/14 Finally got around to developing patterns and refining them.

Trialing how patterns give different feelings to audience
