Using my Wacom Tablet

I really enjoy illustration but all my work up until now has been hand rendered and none of it has really been used in my college work ad I feel like its not professional enough. I am however wanting to change this so I have a got myself a Bamboo Wacom tablet, one of my aims for this term is to get to grips with using it so my illustrations can start to be incorporated into my work.

I've started by watching some tutorials on how they work and the best way to use them and taken some notes,

                                      

                        I'll be posting my progress up here!      

Project Rationale-1st Draft

Feedback From Concept Crits

Here is the feedback my crit group gave me after I presented my concept boards and ideas to them. They have definitely given me some informative feedback and some ideas I need to go away and think about, and then how to start designing for this project.

Packaging Feedback

 This is my feeback from the crit we had on our pacakging, I am happy with my feedback, I think everything they said was relevant, I am glad they liked the envlelope one with the insert detail as I think that was the one that worked best.

Logo Feedback

This is the logo my crit group chose for me to develop, I am happy with the choice they made, I think there is a lot of room for develop and they have given me some feedback that will help me start the design process.

Concept and Rationale

I have done some further research into the Shipping Forecast and have been listening to it a lot and I have decided that I want to focus on the vocabulary used in it, therefore
The concept will be Good is the vocabulary used on the shipping forecast.

The rationale will be designing a informational graphic for the vocabulary used within the broadcasts of the shipping forecast, this could be in the form of a poster or could turn into a publication.

What am I trying to communicate?
To make the shipping forecast more acsessible to more people, its a broadcast many people listen to but only a few understand.


What do I hope to achieve?
To inform people about the Shipping Forecast and hopefully show people who don't know about it what its about.


Audience?
People who listen to Radio 4.



How will I communicate this?
Using a series of infographics, possibly put into a publication which is easy for people to read and understand.

To keep me on track for this brief I want to organise my time to make sure I can work to my full potential, I am going to set myself mini briefs and deadlines within the brief to hopefully help me use my time well.

How Good...? Feedback

After giving my presentation this is the feedback my group gave me, I think so relevant things were said and interesting points on where I should take my project were raised.

Possiblities for me to focus on could be a perticular station, show or DJ, the dialect and language used on the radio, adverts or waves and frequency. I'm going to brainstorm as many ideas as I can think of and see what I end up with.
