Erm, well I'm Abbas, obviously. I'm the only Asian on the course! I'm 20 years old, I'm into art and design, obviously. I barely made it into this course, I went through clearing! i'm really enjoying it though and learning shitloads. I've only been doing art and design for a few years but fuckin' glad I did. I was gonna enrol onto a media course when I was a confused bastard, thank god I didn't.

Post modern or modernist graphic design?
Modernist GD but it has to push the boundaries a little nothing boring.
What style of design do you like and why?
I like design that is basically concept generated "sick ideas" that make you stop and think..... shit...why didnt i think of that?
Favourite typeface?
Century Gothic Bold only in caps tho, lowercase is shit! i love how it looks nice and round and holds a high amount of readability.

Layout design ideas:
I have decided to experiment with many innovative and experimental layout design ideas after creating these designs i then confronted Abbas on which layout he felt worked the best, We where torn between two layout designs. I decided to digitalise both and see which worked most effectively.
Developed Digital layout ideas:
Creation of Digital idea:
I have decided that overall the layout i have created is confusing i feel that this is down to the weak hierarchy of the design, this causes confusion for the viewer this is something that i am going to revisit, i feel that the design should make my partners work the focal point. so i feel that i must simplify the design so that there is a strong hierarchy throughout. I feel that reducing the amount of images used will also improve the aesthetics of the design.
Revisited Design:
When putting the images into my document i went through the same process everytime:
- Start off by drawing a template in InDesign of how large your image will be measure the size for example W - 41.65mm H - 79.75
- Then set up a photoshop document with the selected dimensions
- Then place my selected images into photoshop and scale to fit the document size
- From here after making any changes to the image i then save the document as a tiff file and import it into InDesign.
