PPP: PPP2 // 10 pieces of design workshop

We initiated today's session by all preparing and bringing in 10 pieces of design that we feel illustrate our graphic interests, which we had collected for the PPP2 study task 1.

I like these sessions as it gives everyone a chance to explore peoples graphic design interests as well as discover some new designers or sources for discovering new graphic design.

We were in a grouped of 6 and were asked to layout all 60 example on the table and start to create a list which explains as many specific specialist areas of design as possible, this list is fed by the 60 examples of work we have brought in.

As you can see below the list we created was quite extensive, we tried to make each point as specific as possible to the graphic product.

For example if someone brought in a children's book, we would not just call it 'Editorial design' we would call it 'children's educational book design'

We were then asked to select 10 items from the 60 which we feel cover the broadest range of graphic products e.g. - Typography

- Industrial Packaging

- logo and branding

- Automotive design

- Wayfinding

- Editorial layout and design

- Food/ Beverage packaging

-Advertisting

- graphic installations

- Video/ motion graphics

after completing this task we were then asked to try and answer the questions below for each individual piece of design chosen.

In some cases this was extremely easy if the correct method had been taken to choose the pieces, but in some cases where people had just chosen random pieces of design without knowing the designer it was much more difficult as it relied on a lot of guess work.

1. WHO IS THE CLIENT?

2. WHO IS THE INTENDED AUDIENCE

3. WHAT IS THE FUNCTION?

4. WHAT IS THE BUDGET?

5. WHERE IS IT FROM?

6. WHO IS THE DESIGNER / STUDIO

I will try and add more specific answers for each piece of design.
