Design Competition: Cass Handouts – New everything

If you remember correctly, about 3 weeks ago I was nowhere near finished and had put the handouts project to the side for a little while. It turns out that that works, as I came back into it recently with a new mentality and a two things happened that made me move it along to …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Changing typefaces

Bad news: it turns out Aino is indeed too good to be true. It’s a typeface developed for the visual identity of Estonia and comes with restrictions. It is free, but it’s usage has to tie in with Estonia at some point or another, so it’s a no-go. It’s a shame as I had really …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Presentation

So came the time for presenting our work on the various internship briefs we’d been assigned. It was really cool seeing a lot of the other team’s work and their approaches to vastly different briefs, and it was really nice seeing all the different routes the projects were taken down on. I’d come prepared with …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Further Development

I had finally chosen a typeface! I was moving along, not just thinking about what I could do but doing it too! But I still hadn’t been provided the content, and it really seemed like if I stayed waiting for it I wouldn’t get it. So I had to take the text from the previous …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Choosing type

For the typeface(s) I was to use in the handout I wanted to go for something that would read well and was a bit different from normal. I’ve always had a fondness for geometric typefaces but tend to use very similar ones all the time. The first hurdle when choosing the typeface came about when …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Format Development

The previous handout has a format that’s very suitable for its purpose as a handout and a potential souvenir for visitors and prospective students to get given on Open Days. I have spent so much time looking at flyers, brochures, leaflets and all things in between to trying and get a sense of what makes …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Visiting Tom & Kris

At this point in time I’ve done a fair bit of research of formats, costs and taken into account how last year’s handout looked and how they were made. I haven’t worked on what the handout I’m making might look like as of yet, but the first tutorial with Regular Practice has come round and …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts- Formats & Costs

As of right now I haven't been provided neither the content nor the budget allocated to me for the handouts, so it's kind of stalling me a bit; I can research all I want about cuts and folds and special finishes but I can't know for certain if any of these are realistically within my …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Researching

I made a small list for myself of the main things I had to take into account at this very early stage of production, which are things I need to consider before I start resolving what the content itself will look like. Things to take into account: Formats (research + possibilities), size, colours, stock, costs …

Design Competition: Cass Handouts – Last year’s handouts

Coming back from the Christmas break I got wind that the brief I was going to be resolving along with someone else was somehow made into a one person brief. It took me back a bit as it obviously changes how you'd approach a brief a little but I soldiered on. I had to start …
