Studio Brief 4: Initial Ideas and Feedback

- Course Advice: don't forget to blog, take your tutors advice, read the noticeboard, check your emails daily, don't neglect CoP, learn how to print in B&W, don't lose you're notebook

- Life Advice: learn to like coffee, get a store card, check expiration dates before buying, save your money, don't do laundry on weekends, don't forget to eat, stock up on non-perishables, accept that people will eat your cheese (funny advice booklet?)

- (Main Idea 1) Facilities advice booklet/poster/set of postcards: information about digital print, screen printing, photography, library, 3D workshop etc. - use the resources to create each part of the design/information, and combine all into one outcome. - poster for liberty notice board?

- (Main Idea 2) 'How to deal with stress' booklet/poster/postcards: take a break, eat well, sleep well, learn your stress signs, talk to a friend, listen to music, leave the house, make a to-do list etc.

OR package/box containing the dealing with stress advice and helpful objects. eg. tissues, tea bag, colouring book, music suggestions. - possibly mono print/screen-print postcards or poster to go on liberty noticeboards - create gifs from them?

Feedback:

Idea 1: Facilities Advice

- For photography you could look cynatope/ sun-print paper, where you place objects on paper and the sun exposes them. or stage the information in one of the studios.

- For the library, you could use the photocopiers and photo copy pages from books to piece the information together.

- Possibly have little images as part of it - draw and trace on illustrator like you did for Studio Brief 1.

- Create a map of where each facility is, and use the facility to make that part of the map.

- You could focus only on print, "Your Guide to Print" and have just the digital, screen-printing, library etc. 

- Within the information, have opening times and prices. Also possibly when the least busy times are.

Idea 2: Dealing with Stress

- Make it funny/humorous by having funny objects.

- Possibly have toys that graphic designers could play with, things that would help deal with stress.

- Look into toy packaging, and the type that pound shops use.

- Think about using screen-print for the packaging to showcase the facilities.

- Use cheap materials to make the packaging eg. cardboard, plastic bags.

- Possible objects: stress ball, elastic bands, blue tac, little magnets etc. look for fidgety objects.
