Feedback

 Feedback

I wanted to ask for some feedback and discuss elements of my project so far in the studio today, and found it super helpful in pushing my concepts further and considering the physical elements of the design. I made some notes on things that were covered and what direction my project could go in:

  • For the CD case, to make it more suitable for the publications' format, it would be better to have the case custom made in order to remove the inner plastic circle. I won't be able to make this physically due to time constraints, but it is okay for me to showcase this element of the design with mockups. 
  • It would be interesting to maybe explore different typefaces for the publication. Although Futura is conceptually justified by its links to Berlin techno and influences such as Kraftwerk, I could maybe try creating some custom typefaces for the headings of the publication.
  • I was worried that I didn't have a lot of elements in terms of the range and distribution of the project, but the feedback reassured me that because the concepts behind the design are based around censorship, it makes sense for the range and distribution to be minimal in order to protect the Berlin techno scene and keep it underground. 
  • I want to start working on some sticker designs to go with the publication. This could consist on some small stickers with the symbols on that the user could cover their phone cameras with. Also, I want to consider how I could censor elements of the CD case with stickers; maybe use the symbol shapes?
