Heredesign

the way its been present is very professional. And thought hard about its concept.



The logo on the side and the fish being wrapped with a sticker adds its whole package.



every object fits well and well thought out how to present it and is also hold together with a leather strip.

These pieces of work are aimed at the older adults , using a large amount of brown and neutral colours.

Really stunning antique bottle designs.
The bottle has a fully decorated using strong bold typography, the colours used are browns which matches with the wooden box and the colour of the drink.

Making the bottle like a character make sit a whole lot more interesting rather than just a design with a logo. The typography suits the theme of the drink and coats give a cute aspect of the drink and make look like a doll.

Grid


I found another offer but is a lot more money than exspected.




I learnt to use landscape grids make it measure a lot more better. This has made my book easy to produce.

Mock up

I produced a mock up book in a5 also just to see how it would look like.













There are slight changes that I need to make I have repeated the same page but overall happy with it.

Billboards

These neon colours works as a poster standing out. From all those poster stuck to those boards these poster grab you as a warning.


Even the the smallest signs with neon colours stand out.





These yellow posters work with the image being thin and delicate or bold and bulky.

Even thought the bottle style and and the box structure is modern and simple. It still has a vintage age toward its style the wood mainly gives its age with the use of colours browns and blacks makes more mature for age to target the audiences.


The label with its logo on the curved box adds to the whole packing of the this product.

A smart clever concept presenting the bottle.

front Cover

I keep changing my mind what the front cover should look like. I don't like the long list and might just keep it more simple.


a full large size typography covering the whole page but still has a lot of space.


Making a smaller to larger typography doesn't exactly work.


Having the quote from Ludwig Mies van der Rake works better but prefer it plain.

Final Product



I have change the layout to make more interesting. I have put the all the information and sorted the size the image.I am happy with the design but might probably have to tweek it agian.

White Stuff

I found this clothes store in Leeds and notice at the front of the window it has a great jubilee country style, Which suits the whole style I am looking at for my country cakes.



For my website I need to look at how to present the country cakes website simple but still very country like.


A lot is going on in this webpage but it suits there clothing range.

Layout

These are tests with layout on each page to make it more interesting rather making look the same all the time.

Context:



The page numbers are too seperated and might be too big too follow which page is where.



This is a lot better to following the page.



I have made it a lot more interesting to read like for example a decryption of the book and two parts of the book.




Over lapping the image make the page lot more readable and not boring.




Making it larger is the better way I think because some images are to smaller because they will be pixelated. So this size of a image would be good in contrast.



Having the image different sizes but still fit in the grid works better than just the same size.





This idea is a bit too random and doesn't make sense.



Making the quote bigger and over the page makes it look more fun and less constrained.



Put one the images in makes look way too random and has no structure to the grid.



This seems a lot better still simple but also a lot too look at.




Again having big quotes on the page doesn't fit.



The images and the interview grid work well together.
But images might need to be moved around to fit better in the grid.



I like how this has nice big spaces still sticking with the style of simplicity.



Too much going on the left hand side of the book.



The image is oddly put.
I don't think it fits with the structure of the book.



Having all the images and the interview make sit a whole lot more structured but still have large space underneath.



This doesn't look right and a bit sloppy.



Having the images bellow doesn't look good to the eye and doesn't line up.



This lines up a lot better but still prefer the images up at the top.





Hard to read.





Might be too much type. But it still looks simple with its use of colours and structure.



The big spaces work because it focuses on the image.



Again great space the image above works better.



I think the image is not big enough to fit on both pages. So having the one image on its own would work best.



Great simple layout with great consist with the image.



Too random needs to be straight together.



The typography on the left looks as if its going on. and makes images look too small.



Having them stracked fills the page a lot more without making it look too busy.



Green background makes the quote stand out more.



The images being inwards makes it look interesting and focuses on the images rather than the text.



I think this looks better as being coherent to read and follow.



Spreading the image over two pages makes it look big bold but still simple.



The small image also work but the images should be spaced out evenly.



I think there are too many images one side. There should only two image max on each page.



This design works better but prefer the whole image over one page.



I think there is too much going one page and needs to spaced out a lot more.



This is a lot better grid layout. fits with the structure.



Having the type and the image spread widely over two pages works being simple but also eye catching.




This is different from other layouts but still fits in the grid and also the quote statements stand out.

I found few of simple images that could think with simplicity quotes.:





I choose art, design and music basically any sort of creativity.
