Week 3

Today we had interim presentation. The two concepts we presented were a Gameboy from the 90s to show a generic toy that many of our target audience will associate with their childhood. The second concept is Cynthia from rugrats which is using a character from a 90s tv show and showing how we have grown up since then. The feedback we got is that the Cynthia one may be a little inappropriate but the game boy concept could be developed further. We need to think about incorporating the embassy building into our design concept more to tie in the fact that this event is to support the theatre.



We have decided to continue on with the Gameboy idea but use Tetris as well to create an interesting composition. We are going to try out different vector styles but these are some initial iterations. 




Some concept ideas for our flyer section of the event:


Wireframe of NZ opera website:


After receiving some advice on our concept, the text size is too small to read. We either need to make it bigger or there is the possibility of having two posters as a collection that work together, for example, the two in the middle. The only issue with this is the relationship between image and text and the shape of the embassy is not clear straight away. The other options are making the Gameboy part bigger but with this idea, we lose the relationship to the Embassy.



Project Plan:

We had some really useful feedback during interim today from our peers. The next step for us is to consider how to correlate the colours more effectively throughout our designs. We tried going all black with grey tones and pink outlines to keep our black and neon pink design. It didn't stand out that well compared to our original concept and we decided to stick with it and change our colour scheme of the other elements to match it. Some iterations of the website using the new colour scheme: Some further developments of the home page and voting page: We have changed some of the styles for the website so that it is more cohesive with the design aesthetic of the poster:

Poster Critique  For homework, we created some posters of our concepts. We have decided to use a 90s themed night to attract locals to the Embassy theatre. This is to increase involvement with the theatre and raise awareness of the shrinking audience. From the feedback we received, we need to specify why they should come to the event and why it is happening. We should also say what the next step is like visiting the website.  In class, we started to write down a list...
