From the reviews that I got from the previous tutorial I tried to improve like the lecturer told me.. to play around with the layouts and sizes.



This is my first tryout where I simply did a random arrangement but it gives that impression of falling...sort of saying that since the letters are flaws (by design) it collapses.



Using the same arrangement but modifying it to give it more meaning.



Yet another random arrangement I made but if you swipe you'll find how I tried to give it more meaning.

I really like the landscape view btw... since the details are clearly seen.



I did this one where I tried to make it look like it's stacked over each other to relate it more to building something. I started it as a portrait tryout where I apply what my lecturer recommended me to forget about the margin.. let it go a bit out of the artboard and see the effect.

Eventually tho... I did another one in landscape which I preferred more since we can see the detail better.

One the last one...well... it's just a sketch but I got this idea to add an interactive feature (the rotating arrow) whereby it illustrate that being a designer is actually based on making the right choice and in this context the 'Be Aware' acts as a reminder...



Here's a few random tryouts... on the last one I tried to imitate a pyramid since from my studies on symbolism I learnt that it represent human development.




This is my first proposal for the GD map where I found these type of gears and I tried to find an interpretation behind the way they function to relate them to the different type of design.



My second proposal was a picture of a human hand and to plot the design on the various tones and shades of the hand. I haven't decided yet but upon looking at my hands seeing the greenish color of my veins and the reddish color of my finger tip and sort of... yellowish-brown----ish.......---????color of my hands.... I thought that this was an interesting idea.



The last idea is based on the fact that I'm interested in so many things so I sorta have a complex perception of life and therefore I thought of a Mozaic... with the drawings inside of the division representing the types of designs.

I've afterwards got the idea to sort of instead of making drawings inside divisions, make an overlapping mozaic with the same drawings and using the divisions created by the overlapping drawings as an area to plot the type of designs.



For the placard my lecturer preferred the stacking idea in landscape form however she asked me to refined it. Redefined the small 'a' and the capital 'B' to make them look more like an 'a' and a 'B'.

She also told me to adjust the 'w' since it's quite far away from the 'A-ay' and it looks like the 'w' is missing.


For the GD map she liked the gearing idea and said that the 2 others doesn't actually relate to my perception that much, however she asked me to personalize it and find a way to make it reflect the appropriate design type it was suppose to represent.....which gonna be a pain in the ass xD
