Design elements
Some of the design elements that I might put in my final design are shape, colour and texture.
Shape: I was thinking to have an image that kind of represent what my design cover is go to be about as my design will be image driven and supported with simple text.
Colour: I was thinking to implement colour that is suitable with my design layout that kind of represent an animal in their natural habitat.
Texture: I was thinking to use simple card board material so that it can still be recycled.
Design principles
Some of the design principle that I might use in my final design are pattern, contrast and balance.
Pattern: I was thinking on applying a small symbol that emphasis animal paw around my design to grab attention of my target audience
Contrast: I was thinking to apply 2 different colour with my background and my text that I will be using, to kind of give a strong connection between the text and the background but at the same time it won't blend in together
Balance: I was thinking to put my images to be the focal point of this design, so that I will make the image slightly bigger compare to everything else in my design.
Concept development
I've sketched some of my rough ideas on how I would design my cover with different set of focus and also apply some of design element and design principle.
With this image driven one I want to kind of make this design to just focus on the graphic as I will be putting an image of a panda with green background to kind of emphasis its natural habitat and the text 'diary 2018' will be in colour appropriate colour that will gives a contrast.
With this type driven one I want to make the design to just focus on the text 'Save the planet' with paw pattern surrounding it to kind of emphasis that our planet are surrounded with many different living things and it will be such a waste if we don't save the planet, with a blue colour background to kind of represent the sky
.
With this type driven one I kind want to just focus on a text design of the company's World wildlife fund I made with paw symbol surrounding the text to just represent that this cover design are for the world wild life fund trying to save our planet and just simple black and white for the overall layout to give contrast.
effective design solution
I believe to create an effective design solution is when appropriate design element and principle combine together in the most simplest way and provide a strong connection between each of the aspect.
This is a rough sketch of my final concept. its a combination of text and image driven to kind of give a strong connection of the overall design. I believe with this design has served is purpose and will attract the target audience as it has the brief information of what this diary cover is about. as it has the text 'Save our planet' and an image of a panda, to kind of represent an awareness that panda is an endangered species. I also believe that this design will be appropriate to be use in educational and research purpose and that it doesn't have any aspect that might offend specific group of people.
Refinement
As my final concept design is still a rough sketch, I need to create a proper design using adobe software with size of 210mm x 296mm (landscape) with 3mm bleed as it is a design for the front and back cover and dived into 210mm x 148mm (portrait) colour must be CMYK with 300dpi and high resolution print quality as PDF and also to include WWF logo in the cover. and also to arrange the image and text in appropriate place to give balance and also appropriate colour to give contrast.
Resolution of presentation
I have created my final design based on my rough sketch and modified my design to have the appropriate specification as the brief stated. I created my background to include the colour green and blue to kind of represent the planet earth. The image thats in the centre is a combination of 2 images I received from the internet and add border to create the 3d effect from the panda.
Everything else other than the centre image and the charity logo I made them my self. for example, the font of 'Save our planet' I used the adobe photoshop stock font 'futura', I tried to make that text to have the similar font as the world wildlife funds website. I also created the paw symbol from adobe illustrator. I've applied a repetition of the paw to kind of create my design seems active and I also create an illusion to make my charity logo seems to be moving from the front cover to the back with the use of paw movement across the page. I believe both my written and image information has connected to serve its purpose to raise awareness and save any endangered animals such as panda.
