Yesterday we had an initial workshop exploring what we want and need to do and why we want to do them to ensure we get the best out of product/range/distribution brief. The briefs we chose are essentially open to interpretation and are simply are a starting point to what we want to produce.
5 Things you want to do?
- Branding & identity
- Publishing / typography
- Book binding
- Specialist print processes
- Packaging
5 things I need to do
- Experiment with specialised print processes
- Explore range in terms of branding (stationery)
- Be more conceptual and don't just stick with what I know
- Explore a range of media including print and web
- Build upon any skills I have but explore others I am unfamiliar with
Why?
- To develop skill and understanding in other aspects of design
- To expand and develop my skills in what I currently know
- Create work that is portfolio worthy and that I am proud of
- To discover my strengths and weaknesses
- To develop a skill set
Based on this, we had to devise multiple responses to what personal and practical skills we want / need and what presses, products and contexts we need to explore within this brief.
