First Crit

So after deciding my typeface I moved onto the concept of how I would represent the abcs in the alphabet. The first thing that came to mind was using the animals, although this is quite a cliché, it is the easiest category to find an animal for each letter and one that everyone knows of.

Although in order to make my learning cards stand out compared to the rest of them already available I need to think of a good selling point. I began thinking of the technique of creating the imagery to make it unique. So I just randomly chose the word 'apple' and started drawing it in different ways to see if anything amazing would pop up.


From this I think I've decided I want to use found material to create my imagery because it is unique and would be something the children are familiar with and can relate to. Instead of just doing fruit, I think using exotic fruit and veg to represent the letters would be a good way to go because it targets yummy mummies as they would want to educate their children to eat a diverse range of fruit and veg and generally be healthy.

Bad Week For Professional Project!

Oh dear, so I've had a lot of deadlines this week and haven't been able to do a lot for the professional project. Feel a bit bad for slacking slightly but I've literally had no time to develop my ideas for this project because my attention has been turned to things like Theory Poster, D&AD and PPRD.

I will get back on it next week, I have to. I definitely need a tiny break from work this weekend though and then it's back to the drawing board for me.

Next areas to look at:
- Typography
- Character Design (Illustrations)
- Stock
