OUGD504 / Studio Brief 01 / My Design Process / Briefing

This week we have been set the task to design and produce a folded leaflet entitled "The Design Process" that describes your understanding of the design process and specifically how this is applied to design problems. We are expected to explore and experiment with paper and card stock: folding techniques and styles; and graphic concepts and communication. Our progress, developments and creative decisions should be documented in our studio blog.

Background / Considerations 

∙ Everything that we produce must be designed - the appearance must be thought about.
∙ Leaflets are ubiquitous - it is important to consider not only the potential of leaflet design but also the financial and practical limitations.
∙ Consider the financial, practical and time-based concerns in regards to leaflet design.

Mandatory Requirements

∙ All research, development and decision making should be documented in your studio practice blog.∙ Work including research, experiments, developments, etc. will be presented and neatly labelled on design boards.∙ Demonstrate that you have explored and considered a range of material, folding and printing formats in developing your leaflet.∙ Your leaflet design will describe and explain the design process and as such your design should reflect your understanding of 'process'.∙ Evaluation of at least 500 words.
