Jackson Rising Workshop. OUGD505.

This workshop involved creating a leaflet and also a small brochure for an exhibition at MoMA in a short space of time. This helped a lot with our layout skills and quick decision making.

Flyer

We had only 45 minutes to complete this flyer task and it was difficult to find ways of getting all of the information on one page so that it looked interesting and the information was easily read. The most important part of this task was to figure out what information needed to be seen at first glance so that the viewer could see what they needed to very quickly. I found it hard making the small design decisions like the placement of the sponsors and how lodge the title should be, and it was these small details that took the longest to do. However, in the small amount of time that we had I think that I managed to make a fairly successful flyer. All of the important information like the title of the exhibition, the date and venue of it is easily understood and it is not overcomplicated to that it is easily read and understood. 

Brochure

For the brochure we had a couple of hours to create a 10 page concertina containing images and information about the artists involved in the exhibition. 

I found this task a little easier to do as the extra time made it easier to make smaller design decisions over the whole brochure. I am happy with my final design for the brochure. It is simple and easy to understand wile still looking interesting. It also flows well through the whole concertina pages as well as working well folded up. If I had more time to work on it I would probably play around with colour a little more which I think would make the publication stand out from others.
