The cover must appeal to both children and adults as children need to be encouraged to read it and adults must be drawn to it in order to purchase it for children. The cover must be striking and eye-catching so that it stands out on the bookshelf amongst other books and also needs to work in a digital format for sellers such as Amazon. The promotional material needs to make the audience want to buy the book and to do so also needs to be eye catching and interesting.

Brief/Session/Document Title: Off The Reel (illustrative type)

Brief

Create and brand a film memorabilia company that specialize in illustrative type based products. Come up with three different examples of illustrative typefaces based on popular films and apply them to various products in order to show the range the company will offer.

Background / Considerations

What memorabilia will the audience buy in to? What would make these products successful? Should there be a colour restriction on each design so that it doesnʼt become too complicated and communicates well as type? Think further than just making an image into a shape. How can image and type compliment each other to create something? Would serif or sans-serif be more ideal for each design or does it depend on the subject? Are the typefaces designed to be used or to be enjoyed visually? Think about whether the typefaces need to link to each other or whether it would be more interesting to have a set of completely different themes. Will the typefaces be hand drawn, screen printed or digitally printed?

Brief

Design an advertising campaign in order to promote the latest range of christmas limited edition Coca-Cola bottles.

Background / Considerations

What hasnʼt been considered before by other designers/artists with these designs? Produce a campaign that will encourage consumers to buy into this limited edition range, make it special so that they believe they need this in their life. How can it capture attention amongst all the existing advertising there is around for these products at the moment? Will the campaign work best as an image based one or a mixture of imagery and type in order to promote a particular message? How can Coca-Colaʼs diverse audience be met through on single campaign?
