characters for design assignment2: anthropomorphic furniture design

Monster house, monster furniture design

anthropomorphic couch

 Then i looked at another chair form but i thought couch was more heavier as a subject matter.

 Therefore i drew some silhouette to see how it could express feeling through certain movement.

I'm still thinking if i should design whole bunch of other furniture or go along with this idea.

characters for design assignment2 (monster house)

Monster House

 At first i wanted to make another Monster house beside this one but I wanted to create a character which doesn't exist in the film.

 therefore i started off looking at anthropomorphic furniture

such as furnishes in beauty and the beast

Too cute to be in monster house film

Than the Brave little toaster 

which is also cute to be in this film.

but we could see that the toaster's arm moves around like human.

(ex when it is afraid it hides it's face or swings it around)

If you see a vacuum cleaner in Teletubbie you can see that the character

uses it's hose as a hand.

and then i wanted my anthropomorphic furniture

which has facial expression(but doesn't have specific body parts (eyeballs or nose etc)

Ref. Harry potter talking hat

this kind of facial expression could be good.

and some mystery look would also work on my anthropomorphic furniture design.

Final Brochure layout

31/3/14

Just wondering why my pages are shown as grey, 

but all of my spreads are white. 

Anyway after today's critique I've actually changed lots of things from the previous spreads.

 Front cover: changed
I've tried to incorporate symbol of cross and a square for building
Lines around circle represents wind and water(sea/harbor)
I've used colors from my booklet+ some wellington colors such as grey and red.
Almost every brochure page that I've created has 'grey' as a base color.

 Introduction page: changed
I've tried to make it flow better with my other spreads.
Instead of cramping everything in center I've changed alignments and changed major layouts.

Nothing much has changed on this one. The only thing that I've changed is alignments of texts and symbols.

Nothing much has changed on this one as well. Just symbols and texts.
I've decided to change main photo because other buildings were showing exterior and old st paul's was the only one showing interior.

 Nothing much has changed. Symbols and text alignment

Extra cover: changed

I wasn't communicating well on the previous extra spread that I've created

My main focus was to create a spread that is consistent

and to show different kind of architectural style through out some imagery.

I'm quite happy about the progress that I have made.

before last critique:brochure layout

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
-Try to incorporate stain glass idea with spreads

  -Body copy: Garamond
-Try to incorporate stain glass idea with spreads

 -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.
