Week Three Session 1 & 2

Session One
Define/Ideate/Prototype/Test

I planned out the initial sequence for the visual brief as part of independent homework. These we to set the initial mood for the direction I wanted the brief to go towards. Visualising the brief was particularly hard because I had to consider imagery. As of the moment I'm still unsure whether to use illustration, vector images, photography etc.

I then began to story board by myself and ideas that came up were using thinking from the perspective of students (high school & uni), recipe layouts, use of food literally and rhetorically.

I made my initial 8 spreads for critique tomorrow.

Session Two

Empathy/Define/Ideate/Prototype

Today in class we presented our 2 mock up spreads. The ones I chose were issue and background.

I was still very unsure with imagery so the images above do not look consistent or cohesive. Another issue that arose was me and my partners conflicting interest on what visual style we wanted to approach. We decided to split off for 5 minutes to generate imagery on our own.

When we came back together I noticed that my partner was interested with the biological imagery (human organs) whereas I was really focused on food imagery. Before class ended we concluded that we weren't going to become cohesive anytime during that lesson. I told my partner that we should generate our own imagery over the weekend and consider a broader range of imagery. I would try to include the organs while she would consider food.
