Deciding on a Concept
In the above sketches on the left side I am jotting down words quickly to inspire the look, tone, and feel of my report. I have my idea that I want this report to be about Artificial Intelligence. However I need a concept and how to bring all the feelings of Ai that I want to convey to life.
On the right I am sketching early cover Ideas that I will test out on the computer which is seen below.
The cover was going to decide much of the visual identity I could execute throughout the report. I tried a wide rage of designs. Influenced by very advanced tech and a human feel. I ended up going with a more precise cover so I could be very detailed in the rest of my designs.
Interior Spread Sketching
On the left I am beginning to sketch out graphs, I am playing with how I could lay out the information and I am also organizing the information from the copy I had pulled.
On the right I am sketching out some of the interior spreads.
Critique
Above is some prints I did of my original spreads. I asked my classmates for feedback and jotted down some of the feedback they gave me and some of the places I could go for inspiration that my professor gave me.
I included a sketch of the cover I ended up choosing on the left side. You can see I am writing questions for myself to think about when designing the cover. My goal during this project was to create a system I could use for the entire report. I am asking myself how I can create something that I could use throughout the report.
On the right side I am quickly sketching how I want my mockups to look. What angles and views I should have for the different spreads.
