audience

The target audience throughout the charity, categories around young adults and adults who are eligible to sponser animals and thus partake in charity events. Furthermore in order to attract individuals to the diary cover design, it would need to be something that is appropriate for the targeted audience so that they would feel happy using it instead of buying a normal diary. A simple and elegant design that still advertises the charity is what most diary covers look like for this particular age group, which is type of design i am leaning towards to in undertaking this design process.

Brainstorming

Design Elements

Throughout the process of planning my Diary cover for the chosen organisational charity, the design elements that i am taking into consideration are Colour, shapes, texture and pattern. Only Few of these elements have been included in my design process so far such as colour and patterns. However, my goal is to compromise my ideas within the other elements and how i am going to include them within my design.

The way they have used and tested different media, materials and methods

The RSPCA charity designs are made to be compelling and persuasive towards adoption promotions to increase the chances of animals finding better and safer homes. The charity has achieved this within promoting their charity on media targeting animals ' big and small' to capture the audience's attention towards the overall purpose of the charity. The RSPCA designs through a range of creative materials for various uses, including stickers for packaging goods when getting sent to customers, convival signage for use at events, furthermore creating print and web materials for special events like such as fundraisers.

how they have experimented with design elements and principles

The charity have experimented with design elements including colour , shapes , harmony , texture and pattern and moreover, unity giving a sense of oneness to a visual image as the words and the images work together to create meaning.These elements are shown within their products to emphasise the significance of the aim of the charity in a sense of expressing their goal to achieve partnership from the audience.

discussing and assessing the most effective design solutions

The most effective design solution during the process of the RSPCA designs has been using their original logo (RSPCA) as well as the original paw print on their products. Through using their original logo on their items, they are advertising their campaign successfully. In terms of creating my diary cover for this charity i am enabling myself to reach the standards of the design principles within the RSPCA charity.

how the solution meets the design brief in terms of purpose, context, audience and constraints, and refinements needed to fulfil the design brief.

The solution of the design meets the design brief. The diary cover that i am working on is going to include the constraints and expectations that are shown within the brief of the RSPCA organisation. The diary cover is going to show relation within the purpose, context, audience, and constraints and refinements, to further create a successful design that will be useful towards the organisation and promotion in advertising their organisation.

use of design process and thinking stratergies

whilst designing my diary cover for my charity of choice (RSPCA) my main goal was to design something similar in regards to the organisations theme, by using animals and the signature colours of the RSPCA. I had started my research about the RSPCA and their contributions towards society in efforts to help all creatures ' great and small'.
