OUGD505 | STUDY TASK 3 | DISOBEDIENT OBJECTS NORTH

Brief:
You are asked to produce a simplistic flyer design for a 'Disobedient Objects North' Exhibition at the People's History Museum (www.phm.org.uk) using the instructions below.

Specifications:
Format: A5 – Portrait
Title: Disobedient Objects North
Sub-Title: In Association with the V&A
Date: August 3, 2015 - August 29, 2015
Location: People's History Museum, Manchester.
Contacts:
www.phm.org.uk
www.vam.ac.uk
Image: Single exhibit-based image, People's History Museum logo, V&A logo,
Use of two colours only: Black and white

Response:



Looking through the provided images, I thought that this was the most effective to use on a flyer. It's a stand-alone image that isn't too busy and grabs peoples attention with the bold text. The layout of the information works around the image. The title and subtitle are at the top of the page as the most important information on the flyer. Other information such as date and location are at the bottom left, so if people are still interested they can read this too.


Brief:
You are to layout and design a 10-page concertina folded brochure for a forthcoming exhibition titled ‘Disobedient Objects North’ at People's History Museum, Manchester. All images, copy and branding are included. You have to create a visually stimulating layout that showcases the artists’ imagery but does not sacrifice important information in this process. The images and information must flow harmoniously and offer a taste of what is to be expected during the exhibition. One further consideration may be whether you emphasise the 'North' aspect: whether the materials need to offer a distinction between this and the V&A (London) exhibition from 2014-2015.
Branding elements must be kept to black and white. Images must be unaltered and in colour.

Considerations:
Headings, headlines, body copy, grid, type, colour, image sizing, bleed, margins, flow, audience, narrative, language, purpose, size, external print methods, preparing for print, stock, distribution.
Specifications:
Format: A5 x10 – Portrait – Concertina spread (front and back).
Title: Disobedient Objects North
Sub-Title: In Association with the V&A
Date: August 5, 2016 - August 31, 2016
Location: People’s History Museum, Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER, United Kingdom

Response:




The concertina design makes use of images from the exhibition as well as all of the supporting text. The text is laid out in columns to make it easier for the viewer to read. Bright colours were used throughout the concertina, to represent social boundaries being broken and the triangles bring in extra energy to the design.
