DUNDEE TODAY – URBAN BANK THE IDEA

I include a draft version of  an adapted poster template taken from  INDESIGN software. I have altered to include promotional information  relating to my proposition for the MDes Research Project.

I am not a graphic designer and I do tend to fill the image space surfaces with TOO MUCH information , but I did like the overall look of this template as it could reflect any town.   It has an image of an aeroplane trailing a promotional flying banner, which I have seen many times in France, when events and festivals or fetes are being advertised. I like this format as it really gets noticed by large groups of people over a wide geographical area.  I can imagine that this may catch the eye and generate interest in an event promotion like URBAN BANK.

I need to amend the text and ideally I would require to design my own visual format to reflect my style and the project promotion.

prototype display space for work in progress

LEVEL 5  in the Matthew Building at DJCAD is the venue for the MDES MASTERS of DESIGN EXHIBITION in AUGUST 2011.

The current full time students have developed prototypes of their final exhibition and as one of 3 part-time students, I have been asked to display the progress and context  for my design research project in a space approximately 1.7metres wide by 2.34metres high and no more than 1.8m deep.

We all had to submit quick and immediate ‘FAIL FAST ‘ sketch ideas for our initial thumbnails, which I had to develop in conjunction with the 2 other students.

Here are the sketches and photos of the allocate wall space on Level 5.

MINDFUL DESIGN PRACTICE – PRESENTATION

 

M D P PRESENTATION
MY VISION of the PRESENTATION

This is a sketch of how I have visualised my MDP presentation which will be delivered at 1300hrs on Tuesday 17 May 2011. The venue is the MASTERS of DESIGN STUDIO. I am last to go from all the other full tiome and part-time students – so no pressure then? The presentatioon is a strictly controlled 15 minutes, which based on tutorial advice, will use approx 15 slides at a delivery pace of one slide per minute. 100 words per minute is the average delivery for oral presentations. As I fine-tune my powerpoint for the presentation I realise that I have to be very organised but relaxed.  I am used to makeing presentations to students in my job as an FE lecturer, but I am delivering to an academic and advisory panel of 3-4 people, who are assessing my project development work for MINDFUL DESIGN PRACTICE.  I have checked my presentation against the assessment criteria and I look forward to delivering it confidently and succinctly tomorrow. Off to rehearse it again!
