Collaboration: Sketching and Ideas

Our collab group met again today to discuss our sketches and ideas. We had to provide a number of drawings as well as facts about the creatures we chose to draw.

Here are some of mine. I think they are a good starting point for any later designs/visuals, and the accompanying factual text will make up part of the cards too.

We talked about what kind of look we wanted to go for, and after looking at some examples previously (e.g. Anorak) we decided on...

- Flat lines

- Scanned textures

- Playful

- Bold

- Contemporary

- Colourful

As we want to create a poster as an added extra for the children, we plan on designing that first and then cropping areas of the design to create 'snapshots' which will become the front of our 3 proposed card designs.

We also want the card placement to be integrated into the poster, so that they would either complete the missing gaps in the poster design, or overlap/match existing parts:

For next week:

We have decided that for next week, we would each draw the 15 creatures/objects from a list we agreed on. That way, we can then begin to draft the layout of the poster using a combination of all of our designs.

We must also consider - type (handmade?), card layouts, potential for the theme of our yoyo cards to be shown on the outer packaging of the BEAR snacks.
