COP501. ESSAY. FIRST DRAFT.

ISTD. SPECIAL RESEARCH.

Visiting the Bradford Media museum.I looked at what way finding system they used and was it clear enough.
Also how it works in a series and in separate rooms.

The same day, before the museum I visited Tom and took pictures in his building that might come and handy while designing the final special pieces.

ISTD BRIEF. TYPE FACTORY. THE BRIEF AND ANALYSIS.

I decided to choose the 2009 brief 'Type Factory'. When I chose it my main reasoning behind it was that it's quite an open brief and they are asking to create special design, which I have never tried before, so I was eager to try. After analyzing the brief in Lorraine's session. I realized that some restrictions need to be made, otherwise it just becomes hell of a mess. So narrowed down the audience to type enthusiasts and school children. Thought if the tourist will come there they would be one or the other.

I also tried to concentrate on the special design, rather than trying to do ALL of the identity (shops, cafe's).

ISTD. VISUAL RESEARCH.

I hung up with the idea of making my "Type Factory' as a factory. So a real TYPE factory experience. Looked that I could do signage in the way of factory signs just having messages about TYPE.
