Studio Brief 01 - Design is About Doing
Studio brief one is our very first live brief. The live brief is for a competition for Secret 7. What we have to do for Secret 7 is to choose one song out of 5 random songs. Once the track was chosen, we will have to then design 5 variations of Vinyl sleeves for that track. We will be competing against 1000s of people from across the globe and even well renowned designer such as Peter Saville, Jamie Reed and Annie Leibovitz. The main focus for the brief will be to focus on the visual semiotic and to try and connect and communicate with the track through it’s lyrics and rhythm.
Restrictions
As this brief was live, I knew there would be a few restrictions to take on board. Normally i would work with imagery, which are sometimes taking by me and sometimes not, However under the rules and regulations of secret 7, it stated that all work submitted must be your own work; therefore restricting my use of found imagery. Taking this into account this make me focus more on what i can do within illustrator, rather than taking my own photos to use. If i was going to consider taking my own photos the disadvantage of taking them is the amount of time i have to complete the brief plus good quality photos can be a challenge to capture.
Another restriction to look at is the best resolution for my final vinyl sleeve. The question is should i screen print or mono print? or is printing in general a bad idea? Printing may not be the reliable resolution due to the loss of quality once scanned and flatten into a digital copy. Again rules of secret 7, say that all the files must be entered digitally.
Mandatory requirements
The mandatory requirements will be the final resolution, uploaded and designed to Secret 7’s terms and conditions. Still producing and developing four designs, which i wouldn’t be submitting. Lastly, around a minimum of 30 design thumbnails.
