Our Logo - Printed and Iron on by Nadine Brown

Earlier today I went to get some Iron-On Transfer paper for t-shirts so that I could print and iron on our logo on to t-shirts, so we can look like an official team tomorrow. 

Very excited for our final presentation. 

We have worked so hard and so well :)

SIMPLIFY

As a group we had to come to a decision very quickly to simplify the design we had original felt would be the one we would like to execute. 

We asked people individually for feedback on both our presentation and our final idea.

PRESENTATION: 

Some things do not need to be explained further e'g Timetable, Gnatt Chart.

IDEA:

It looks great, but maybe disability idea is not necessary. 

Good idea and want to see the final 

All these constructive critiscim is fantastic, and will be taken into consideration 

The website yugop.com was shown to us, and to see such a simple straight forward interactive website to promote ones self, really did get us thinking and to deconstruct the ideas we had and to make it simple and image driven.

Fantastic idea of simplicity this website has.

CREATING A TEAM BLOG & HOTMAIL

I realised that part of my role of managing and directing the team that I had to further develop our organisation. 

I had been sending a lot of emails and getting loads of responses from the two members in the team so I created us an email account, of which we send our emails to it and will be our form of contact for the team

Email address: azide_creatives@hotmail.co.uk

Secondly I did a blog for which all our work goes up there.  I am currently the one putting up posts, but I hope for my other team members to do this also when there is work we have done as a team is in the process, also influences and exhibitions we have attended either as a group or individually, that we can feed through to our expanded creative minds :)

STRESSED

Today as a team we spent a full 10 hours on re-looking at our website down. 

Understanding the saying, "less is more," we asked various people for feed back 

1. on the presentation we gave

2. on the our concept ideas

3. the idea we had chosen to develop

A lot of the feedback given was very good, and how are presentation structure and visuals were fantastic, through to our concept being great too.  As a group we still had a feeling in our head that maybe we had too much going on for our page.

So suggestions that came back was to simplify the visual and the operation of how the site works. 

Look back to our first basic experiments and how can just a simple idea form a fantastic and memorable statement. 

By the end of the revising, re-looking, redesigning we all came to a conclusion on a particular, as a team we feel that all members need to be happy with the design and how it operates or when we are talking we will not be passionate about what we have designed. 

So with this mock up and sketched illustrations we have come to a conclusion to sleep on the idea and tomorrow decided on whether we are happy with it or not.

At the stage of developmentation, it is such a hard thing to re-look and redesign when we literally have 5 days to have something executed. 

BRIEF ONE: SCREEN - DEVELOPMENTS

First theme test by our team AZIDE

Above is a tester of what we want our final to look like (form wise) we want to have a 3D model affective, which is moveable and rotational.  Allowing the  audience to interact with our site through touch pads, mouse, web cam (when you move the head moves) to list a few. 

This mock up helped us view and vision much better than just in sketches, and to explore dimension not just on the facade, but also interior wise, which we aim to develop and explore and have a sound idea to present by next week. 

So we have currently stripped it back down to its original form of sketch, and identifying the key tools and interactive areas we want.

BRIEF ONE: (WEEK TWO) IDEA GENERATION

Wire Framed brain sketch

We had our presentation this week, showing our ideas and background to it. 

I feel it went well this week, and the weaknesses that I have outlined in the presentation we developed on successfully, such as delivering the presentation without cue cards, and to have limited points per page. 

Below is a link to the full presentation:

Feedback was given to our group, which we all made a note of.  This week we individually took in the comments from different perspectives, so currently there are mixed opinions on developing this. 

We quickly reviewed the other groups  work such as

Amaze, Magique, Fog and (the new formed group)

We looked at the strategies of delivering, and the method/narratives with regards to their website and their identity. 

We also applied a quick SWOT analysis done very roughly and have now gone away on ideas such as

1. how we can communicate with a mass audience (as the design and the content we currently have was seen as relating to one audience (which were designers))

2. What do we want to say about OUR creative team

3. What message do we want to give out 

4. The idea of taking "people" on a journey

The way we work as a group definitely has a good chemistry, and when either one of us have a problem, or do not feel comfortable with an idea or how things are going we speak up and we try to address the problem, so currently we are try to establish a story/narrative behind our web site, as one member feels this needs to be address, and I do also think this is a true and valid point.  

Literally a week left to the final presentation ....... :)

AZIDEs FINAL LOGO DESIGN

As viewed in my previous posts, the team Azide came to a decision to redesign our logo after form the Science Museum, were we all came together once again with individual ideas, (PREVIOUS POST SHOWS THE DIFFERENT STAGES WE WENT THROUGH TO ACHIEVE THIS), which when pieced together formed the new brand identity.
