OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 2: A Design Presence (Presentation Boards)

Below are my two final presentation boards. I wanted to demonstrate my final pieces of work as succinctly as possible with a small explanation underneath. 

Test Prints

Below are some of the test prints. I tried to print it out in the studio but the quality wasn't brilliant so I am just going to use the standard printer paper for submission. 

OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 2: A Design Presence (Weebly Website Link)

Below is the link to my website. I have maintained simplicity all throughout the design of the three pages and I am really pleased with the outcome of it. At the moment it obviously has a website for Weebly, but when I am 100% happy with it I am going to pay for my website and build it so that it is a bit more interactive that the example I have at the moment.

OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 1: A Design Strategy (Dialogue Exhibition)

For my responsive module, I got involved with the Dialogue exhibition and entered to have my work exhibited in the Corn Exchange. Below are some photographs from the exhibition. I found this experience extremely beneficial as it allowed me to engage with a project completely different to any I had done before. I also thought it was a successful way of bringing all three year groups together.

OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 1: A Design Strategy (Ethical Practice)

Throughout this year, I have realised that it isn't as easy as I had initially imaged to be a sustainable designer and to be ethically correct in the production of every product. I realised this when I visited LGP Print in Leeds. I had a long conversation when I visited, which was all based on the fact that clients often choose the cheapest option as opposed to the most eco friendly. This is because, in order to be eco friendly, vegetable based inks have to be used, which means that printers require a special printer for this, and it is all costly in its self. I try to be sustainable when I can be, and I wrote about this in my COP essay. I discussed sustainability and ethical in multinational companies. This is something I am still extremely passionate about and I plan on considering further over the Summer and into the third year.  

OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 2: A Design Presence (Presentation Notes)

Below are my presentation notes for tomorrow. I have decided that I am not going to use any notes on the day, but want to have a brief idea in my mind of what I am going to say and what I need to cover to make sure I say everything I need to. I am feeling quite confident about the presentations and can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to.

OUGD502 - PPP2: Studio Brief 2: A Design Presence (Presentation Preparation)

When preparing my presentation for Wednesday 7th May I wanted to write a few notes down to make sure that I cover everything. I am unsure whether it is necessary to, but I would like to try and explain my logo. Although, because it is quite simple, but holds quite a deep meaning behind it, I don't know whether to mention it or not as it might not be very concise in my presentation.

I would like to be able to present my work from the start of the year until now. I think it is important that I focus on my placement at Rippleffect and talk about how much I have learnt from it and the experience I gained. I would like my presentation to flow and so I have planned it so that it explains how one thing has led to another throughout the year. 

After receiving the email from John about what we should include, I also made a note of the key points to ensure that I cover them in my presentation. I am looking forward to presenting all of my work and talking about how this year has developed and progressed for me as a designer, and I am also looking forward to seeing what everyone else is up to, as it is rare that we are able to share news and chat to everyone in the studio.
