OUGD603: Extended Practice - Dr Me Extension

After the workshop I decided that I wanted to re-design some of the outcomes as I was not happy with them.

Vinyl cover:

I used the same concept from the session with Anna I just removed the woodpecker illustration and used a photograph instead. I am a lot happier with this outcome as I feel it is more suited to both me and the brand. 

Odonis Odonis poster:

I chose to create the poster in one colour to save on printing cost and also as a juxtaposition from the band and their music. I am very happy with my final poster.

Self-directed piece:

I kept my self-directed piece the same as I was happy with the outcome on the day. 

OUGD603: Extended Practice - D.S.M Talk With Commuter

I spoke with my Dad who is a regular commuter about what train companies do and what they don't do. He was very complimentary about East Coast trains especially the First Class carriages. He was less than pleased with some of the other, smaller, train companies such as Northern Rail. As a regular commuter and a business man without an office within the UK he has to work from home and also on public transport.

"Trying to get my laptop out on a Northern Rail service is nearly impossible, there aren't enough tables"

I think that when I come up with my own train company I will ensure that all passengers get a table on every service so they are able to work on their laptops, it would also be essential to have a power socket and also free wifi throughout the service. When asking David about my idea to create a railcard he was very interested.

"Discounts would be great! It gets expensive"

From this talk I think I have a better idea about what to add within my train company and I hope to ensure user satisfaction.

OUGD603: Extended Practice - Primary Research (Brief 7)

I visited Gordon Rigg's in Walsden to take some photos and also get some primary research before setting out to re-brand the company. I plan to use the images that I took in my branding guidelines to give the design abit more personality.
