Booklet - Conceptual Design (Version1)

Research Part 2 - Painting Company

From the research of the things used by Painting Company, I am planning to use a sort of simliar setup on the brochure / folded document which will show the customers that the painter is serious about the job.

Research Part 1 - Action Painters

Using a letter from an important person in this case used by Action Painters, is used on their website to help achieve more customers through past work with the mayor of Auckland. From this it gives me an idea I could use a similiar thing on a document im creating.


For having quotes from people, sort of like comments on the job done would be a good idea to put on some of the documents I am creating because it will show the future customers the old jobs that have been done and the satisfaction of the old customers from the jobs completed.

Updated Briefs

Each individual brief has been created per document.

New Project

Doing a new project with a client. I have chosen to use my Dad as my client he is a painter and the name of his painting business is Able Decoraters. He is a sole proprietor business and works for himself.

Currently working on writing up a questionnairre so I can ask him what he wants and what he would want on them.

I'm thinking hes going to want a sort of poster thing with maybe a logo developed for him. I have talked to him about it but he has been busy so I haven't been able to use the questionnairre to get the answers I require from him.

Update - Final

Evaluation of Article:
Overall the finished product meets the requirements of the brief however, it does not have a picture of the client in the article due to her leaving school and me not been able to get one.

It meets the targeted audience of 17+ with the images used and the skills used in the article and the article printed with the language used makes it easy for 17+ audience to read and understand.

The background made for the article was made to draw attention to the text which sits on top of it। Nothing really takes attention of the text but rather draws the reader / viewer to the centre of the article to where the article is positioned for them to read it.

Update

Developed a new background for my article in photoshop using lens flare techniques and screen layering giving the effect of a lightning storm being effective in attention grabbing but you can still read the text over it. Thinking of redoing my banners because they are shit will be working on that today however did develop a range of backgrounds and still deciding on what one to use. Feel free to leave comments on my blog on which one you think is better :)

Big update

Was playing around with designs in InDesign (first time using the program) and came up with the idea that the lower images I had created and posted in my previous blog was not very good with the colour scheme of the article. So I remade the top one and made the second one which will be shown below this post:

Top image








Bottom image







Article layout Design 1:

Update

Started finishing the article in publisher with the article actually typed up still need to make the bottom image for it the image uploaded on the previous post is the header image which yet still needs a picture of the client put onto it along with her name.

The bottom image is going to be pretty much the same but the opposite away around to sort of link them both together.

(Also found out how to unlock tables in word today)

Sketchs

Started sketching the bottom image of the article to use. Same as the other image but the opposite away around and maybe different colours still deciding.

Update

Working in photoshop testing different designs and combos with colour against grayscale images for effect with a gradient in the background tinting the image a shade of orange creating a sunset effect.

Brief - Specifications - Steps

The brief is to design a profile for a specific client based upon their interests and personality for either a magazine or a newspaper article featuring about them. This profile must include things of which they are involved in like sports and future involvements they want to be apart of. The goal of doing this is to show people what kind of person he/she is.

Specifications:
