For task 10 I wanted to create something different. I wanted to add 2 typefaces and some hand drawn elements to it. So here is some religion symbols that I sketched out on my iPad.

USING A BONE TO CREATE MY ZINE.

[armaankhaliqunit04]

EVALUATION:

The key point of Bit Rot was to recreate the essay into a better design, and my respond to this was to make all the writing less on each page. By the end of this mini brief I want to have finished the full zine and show a clear understanding with a twist.

As my Essay was about Douglas Coupland going on a plane and basically judging on the difference between economic and business class I decided that my design will be like a plane and to do this I knew I had to do some research. The research I did was look into different planes and designs of them and unfortunately I did not document this in my sketchbook and blog which was a big mistake and I think this could be done in the next project. I also created my image in the style of Douglas coupland which I did on photoshop and indesign. This is all documented in my sketchbook and blog.

So to create this zine I had to sketch out my designs and be creative and the way I did this was to set a timer for myself ( 5 minutes) and sketch ideas with a pen. I learnt this technique from one of my tutors Will, which I think was a great idea as I could not erase the design and it helps to get everything out of my mind.

I think my time management was pretty good as I set myself to create a to do list which really helped. I also sat away from my friends in the class so I could have a focus time which I did most of my sketchbook work. The biggest thing I learnt was how to actually use indesign because when I first started I did not know how to use it what so ever but now I think I’m more confident but could improve more.

At the end of this project I was really pleased with my final zine and proud to actually use a bone to create a book. I did get a lot of feedback from my peers which actually helped me and made me improve all my mistakes in my work. I honestly think for the next project I need to do more research and Primary research as I was lacking with it for this project.

MORE DESIGNS I LIKE.

[armaankhaliqunit04]

AS I WAS BROWSING THROUGH LINKED IN I SAW THIS AMAZING, CREATIVE DESIGNS. AND WHAT I REALY LIKE ABOUT THEM IS HOW SMART THE IDEA IS, THE CONCEPT OF MAKING CHARACTERS OUT OF LEGO FORM. THIS SHOWS ME THAT OUR EYES CAN TELL SOMETHING WITH JUST LOOKING AT THE COLOURS.

[armaankhaliqunit04]

I MADE A GROUP CHAT FOR OUR CLASS SO EVERYONE CAN HELP EACH OTHER AND POST THERE WORK OR IMAGES AND VIDEOS THEY HAVE. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR EVERYONE TO START COMMUNICATING TO EACH OTHER AND FEEL MORE CONFIDENT.

BOOK BINDING PART 2

[armaankhaliqunit04]

HERE WE WERE HAVING A LIVE LESSON WITH STEVE ON HOW TO BOOK BIND.

THIS VIDEO IS PART 1

[armaankhaliqunit04]

OVERALL I THINK IMY DESIGNS CAME OUT QUITE WELL. THE COLOURS MADE EVERYTHING LOOK SO MUCH BETTER AND THIS SHOWS THAT NOT ALL COLOURS NEED TO BE ADDED INTO ANY DESIGNS. I LIKED THE WAY HOW I LAYED OUT EVERYTHING BUT I CANNOT TAKE ALL THE CREDIT BECAUSE WITHOUT MY CLASSMATES, TAMSYN AND WILL I WOULD HAVE JUST DONE SIMPLE DESIGNS BUT BECAUSE OF THERE FEEDBACKS AND HOW CRITIC THEY WERE THIS MOTIVATED ME TO DO BETTER.

SOME THINGS I COULD IMPROVE FOR THE NEXT PROJECT IS ALWAYS RESEARCH A BIT MORE AND ALWAYS SKETCH OUT IDEAS STRAIGHT FROM YOUR MIND.
