Initial Communication is a Virus Development Work


Originally I began by trying to collect all our intial thoughts together, and I tried to devise a name for our concept which was five-a-day. Our five a day would be five different pieces of design inspiration a day via an app and a website , that would be supported by promotional materials.


On the right hand side of this development sheet is a second discussion with the group, the concept had moved on massively since the previous few days. We where now basing our concept on the idea of supplements/ pills. Some people take pills on a daily basis and they are a necessary thing, this is what we want to convey in our concept. 


We had also decided that there would be five pills a day, a different pill would represent five disciplines of graphic design these relate to work we have been doing in PPP, the categories are : 

  • Information and Way-finding
  • Editorial and Publishing
  • Packaging and Product
  • Retail and Promotion
  • Branding and Identity
I also again began to list words to come up with a name. I was working with the idea of the pills, being drugs, drugs are usually associated with an addiction and so it almost is like an addiction to design.

I also began designing the app and the initial web page, in a few thumbnails.

We had to present our idea. 
After presenting we where told we had to actually produce the work we where proposing and so this means we can't design an app or a website , due to skills, cost etc. But we where told we could use tumblr or wordpress to set up a blog. 
And we could still produce all of our promotional material.

We will get the content from other design blogs and websites, as there are six of us we can do this in a rotation of five and that means one person has to find one thing a day, which is straightforward. And in doing this we should all find different things.
