1. http://www.thewonderforest.com/2012/01/14-days-of-love-heart-favor-box-diy.html

21/10/2015 09:56 the reasons and purpose I did not use this phone box template is that

it’s not suitable for use and wouldn’t attract the audience’s attention as I would like it to

as the item needs to be appealing.

2. http://deliciousbydesign.co.uk/delicious-and-inventive/

21/10/2015 10:05 I considered using this be I have a constraint and implication with

copy right as this is someone else’s design plus I don’t think the design is really relevant

as it’s for a mobile device product.

REG/blu_l240a_blk_32gb_life_pure_smartphone.html

21/10/2015 10:13 the reason I did use this image of a smartphone is because this would

be plagiarism and copy right as this is a

company’s product.

4. This is part of the refinement process as my assets list wasn’t very clear nor very good

beforehand here is the before and after.

I have added underscores in the names of these files.

-This was my original design which is a little blurry and

is not very well shaped nor formatted correctly as

said in the brief I should use the logo in my box

template design but I did not think it is suitable

enough because the stated reasons above.

I have

tested this for functionality

by zooming in and showing

that there is not much

pixilation this is better

quality than the original

with the format added

colours to make it appealing

as now it’s better quality and the new

added features make it eye catching which would evoke and entice the audience I zoomed in twice

checking the quality of pixilation and blur and the result was much better than the original which at

first sight is already having the problem of blurriness occur.

Also I refined the file names as seen below


Before

After

Also I have done the same for the barcodes one with number and one without the numbers.

Example 1 example 2

And I have done the exact improvements on the phone designs changing little features

Example 1 example 2

High quality assets

Thes iamges are high quality as they are high res and they also are very clear and visble on both my

products.

Graphic product 1

Final design

this final product is suitable for the intended audience and

purpose because I have gone with this design as its simple eye

catching and effective its for males who are into sports specified

on the template with the text the purpose of this is to grab the

etension of smart phone lovers along with callaborating with

sport fans and combining them making the ultiamte combo

evoking people with these certain interest the age range is

manily to appeal to 16-25year olds as they are young and always

on the move with their phones wanteing score updates they will want to see the clear image of the

phone knowing what it ist and how it looks located on the left of the design as it large and shows of

its size and colour and was m,ade in microsoft powrpoint I think it works because it stands out from

the stereotypicl background for males also the bold balck text gives the audience and idea of the

phone itself but I have lost some of my audience members as I have kinda singled out the women

but overall its simple compact idea and its suits the needs and the breifs requirments as it it is

suitble for the aged ranges as there are no copy right issues along with rude or explicit imagery also

this product is card board which fitg togethers in allocated slots and the product itself will be

compact not flimsy very durable to keep the device safe and secure.

Graphic product 2

Final design

This final product is suitable for the intended

audience and purpose because I have gone

with this design as its simple eye catching

and effective its for femmales who are into

taking photos specified on the template with

the text the purpose of this is to grab the

etension of smart phone lovers along with


selfie fanatics also a cool combo I have tried to impliment stereotypical girl colours as that is what

will grab their etension towards the design people with these certain interest the age range is manily

to appeal to 16-25year olds as they are young and always wanting memories and upadated profile

pictures on social media the have bright intense colours which will appeal and catch the entension of

young girls as the logo and phone design is large and clear as long as the text all of the items used in

this design stand out from the background of the bright box template but I have lost some of my

audience members as I have kinda singled out the men from purchasing this phone but overall its

suits the needs and the breifs requirments as it it is suitble for the aged ranges as there are no copy

right issues along with rude or explicit imagery this product is card board which fitg togethers in

allocated slots and the product itself will be compact not flimsy very durable to keep the device safe

and secure.

M4/M5

I have asked 5 people in total to gather feedback on the quality of my products and the results were

mostly positive as 60% like my two product designs the other 40% disagreed and gave me feedback

on how I should make improvements.

Feedback client 1 positive: both of your products have good intension to detail and some aspects

like colour and font size for example as they are clear and visible the compensate each other.

Feedback client 2 positive: your two designs both include specifications of the smartphone products

which a very clear and well positioned on the box template as the colours are simple but effective as

it’s the first thing that I notice.

Feedback client 3 positive: you have nicely included features such a barcode and a logo which is

effective because it makes it look realistic and very simple which I like as it doesn’t over complicate

the design idea.

Feedback client 4 negative: you should add more colour into you blue male colour design and should

add simple features like a recycle logo and QR code logo as well.

Feedback client 5 negative: to be honest the lay out I would prefer the phone to at centre of

intension as that’s what your trying to sell also you have made it specific to gender so you have lost

some of your target audience members.

I have taken into consideration about the

feedback I have received and have decided

to add in the follow a QR code for people to

scan the box with and a recycle emblem to

show this case can be recycled as it is made

from card and can be easily disposed of.


They have been circled in red.

D4

Using pixlr can edit the background colour to white which is still effective as it makes all the

items like the phone and the black bold text stand out also by doing this it eliminates the constraint

of having gender phones as now anyone can buy it as it doesn’t single out a curtain gender anymore

which is a positive as now you will have a bigger target audience to sell the product to.


This is my final design with feedback improvements added and recommendations

from peers I am very pleased with my final outcome as now it has improved my design idea as well

as my target audiences availability also by doing this it eliminates the constraint of having gender

phones as now anyone can buy it as it doesn’t single out a curtain gender this makes me feel better

about my graphic design skills as I have learned new skills how refine and enhance created product

with recommendations I think I could improve on this by adding a contact us link to a website along

with a phone number as well so clients can contact us in various ways.

D3

I have made further refinements to my assets as I have now added more icons in my design idea to

make it more realistic and appealing to the audience.
