Today we were introduced to our elective, Editorial Design, and our lecturers Fay and Jo introduced us to the brief, and informed us of what our first assignment will be. What we are designing is a book between 56 and 100 pages, for our client Studio Pacific Architecture. We have been given all of the information and content to go inside, both the text and the images to choose from. However, we are also allowed to source our own images, and go and take them if we choose to do so.
I'm really excited for this paper, especially since it's basically the progression from Type in first year, and the elective Information Design in second year.
Next week, we are having a Q&A session with an employee from Studio Pacific Architecture, so it will give us a better chance to really understand what the company is all about, so that we can begin coming up with conceptual styles, colour palettes, and a general aesthetic approach to our book.
By next week's class, I'm going to analyse a few existing designs that I find online as some research, so I can use these as some inspiration for my own conceptual approaches to this brief. I will also have a look through their website and do a bit of research so that I can get a better understanding of how they operate, their beliefs and overall vibe of the architectural company. I'm also looking forward to the Q&A session, as it will really help clarify what they are about by hearing from an employee first-hand.
