Welcome!
Welcome to my blog where I will be discussing all things design. Once a week I will upload a small post which either talks about design topics that week, or some design work by myself,. For now I want to try and re-design a AI posters or logos, or just ones that need an upgrade. I want to challenge myself with styles and techniques I have never used before to further my skills as a designer. So Enjoy :)
Car Boot Sale
This week I want to focus on a piece for my AI policy page which has a comparison between a AI Car boot sale poster and one I designer myself. I feel like talking to people about the negative effects of AI can be useful but there is a more positive way to do it. Encouraging someone not to do something and telling them how awful they are for doing so is not going to convince them, instead, most of the time, it has the opposite effect. So I want to instead show people how much better human made graphic design is and instead celebrate good design.
I began by choosing a theme, something different and eye catching, 1950's was my choice. I wanted something in stark contrast to the bland AI version, so a 1950's style, which is full of character, seemed fitting.
I began with the basic layout, I took inspiration from a range of posters.
My success criteria for the design is:
Less cluttered information.
Important information clearly displayed.
Two fonts, one a bold script, the other a classy serif font.
Bright colours, but with a clear colour scheme
My final design looked like this:
I try and only allocate myself no more than two hours on a project like this. It should be a design sprint challenge, where I produce a quick yet effective design instead of obsessing over the small details.
Final design is also available for purchase, just drop me a message!
