Negotiated Briefs, Onward

From going through my briefs, noting what specific areas of design were being covered and just going through some very brief initial ideas I managed to slim it down to just a couple of briefs per topic. ( Boarding / Music / Snowbombing & London Freeze)

From Here I went through these briefs, coming up with ideas and really finding the potential of each one seeing how far they can be taken. Over how many forms of media, how many products and in how many contexts and such...

From doing so I was able to get a much better idea of what was possible for each project making my choice on what I wanted to do easier. For now the briefs Im going to start on and firstly re-write are...

Boarding Brief:

Board Artwork

Design a series of boards for one teams riders.

This could be a very fun and exciting brief, there is also room for a large and wide range, going from the boards to stickers, clothing, hardware, packaging, tags etc

Merchandise

Kind of similar to the above, could even come from it. Design, produce a line of t-shirts. (again possibly celebrating each rider)

This could then be the starting point of taking over wider things like Iphones / Ipads wallpapers, stickers & posters.

Snowbombing:

Promotional campaign.

I've purposely only chosen this for the snowbombing brief because of the possibilities and potential within it. From brainstorming I came up with what I think are interesting, unique opportunities,

Individual Sponsor projects - A promo brief for each main sponsor, Volvo / Metro / MTV

Holiday Brochure - Free brochure like publication Including all details from travel, accomodation to the Line up etc.

Piste Map - One of limited edition piste map

Iphone application.

Music:

Visual Identity

I had no doubts in selecting this as it would act as a live brief. Have a friend that is starting his own record label for part of his final year on his course.

This has a large potential, from the standard logo design, business cards, websites general visual identity. There is also more to get from it such as Iphone & Ipad applications / wallpapers. Furthermore chance to create a publication from this work, promoting the label and its artists, to be given away as a free, promo flyer.

Album Artwork

This is something that I think would make a very interesting & fun brief.

To design a set of celebratory albums from an artists discography, re-designing the artwork of the major albums into one style producing a novelty / collectors item.

Possible artists, Michael Jackson / Oasis.
