NM 2208 1st assignment: thumbnails and roughs

Classroom activity 1

For the first assignment we started out by producing thumbnails for what we loved/ hated. I chose fish for what I loved and worms for what I hate. Unfortunately I missed this lecture as I had to give ExxonMobil a presentation for another project that I did last sem and was shortlisted for.

Anyway I had to do this before I could proceed with the roughs.

Assignment 1: Presentations of roughs and thumbnails
The roughs were based on my favourite designs. For "I Love Fish" I really like the second design as its simple yet effective in conveying the message. I might change the colour though. The first design is visually attractive, but it doesn't reflect much thought or evaluation in the design.

For "I Hate Worms" I prefer the second design to the first as it shows the worm 'eating through' the paper, which could more effectively convey the idea of my dislike for worms.

Feedback from the class showed that they prefer the same designs as me, they liked the second design (my name designed in the shape of a fish). Some said it looked like a logo with the bold lettering and the clear message.For "I Hate Worms", the class didn't say much.

Anyway For my prototype I decided to work on the second design for "I Love Fish" and the second design for "I Hate Worms"as well.
