As our graphic design team waits, ever so patiently for new and exciting challenges, we have decided to put our heads to work and brainstorm various creative designs that are basic, simple, and follow the discussed design recommendations. In doing this, I have been going through various design websites such as awwwards.com for web-based designs, and behance, muse, etc., for inspiration with various projects both print and web-based. I think the designs that most catch my eye are the ones that are simple and that use a large amount of negative space. I also think that for the EMERGE brand itself, it is important to incorporate various Canadian and "Torontonian" elements to signify its place of birth. I have been looking at magazines as well to see how various graphics work into different page elements. I think that it is very important to incorporate design into every aspect of this project. We will definitely be using the large group meeting to let everyone know of our capabilities and get the ideas flowing for designs that would work well with each specific story.
Since last week, our entire team has been brainstorming, and we have also been working on a guideline for topics to present to the large group next week.
Our biggest difficulty has been trying to get our design submission form up and available to the other teams. This has proven to be a challenge based on the web design teams not having a location available for the forms to be put in place but hopefully this will be resolved by this coming week. Another challenge has been a lack of design work but that should also be resolved by this week when we discuss our availability with the larger group.
For next week, I am aiming to have gained a stronger understanding of Adobe Illustrator through my use of the program over the week on quick tutorial projects. I think that this will help me to be better prepared for the projects that I will be given within the EMERGE team.
