Rational and reflection

Rationale: Evie Deroles and Jennifer Craig

We targeted our design at uni students to try and involve a younger audience in creating a community around them. Our call to action revolved around a ‘zombie apocalypse’ emergency, with the idea that the neighbourhood is getting prepared for an emergency while also grabbing their attention and having fun with it. We made sure to keep our zombie theme light and tasteful and not too dystopian or scary. Our choice of font and colour reflects this light-hearted feel as does our illustration style. We chose the icon of the gnome to convey a sense of neighbourhood as well as giving the audience a humanoid figure to relate to.  Our zombie hand gives a sense of impending doom without showing too much and reducing the anticipation.  Over all our design is aimed to get people excited and interested in preparing for an emergency.

My favourite aspect was doing the final illustrations.

My biggest learning was that you have to be able to change your illustrations at the drop of a hat even if you've spent hours doing them, if they don't work then they don't work and you have to figure out something new to do.

One thing I would change would probably be the speed at which we did the poster. I would probably try to get it nailed down earlier as the other parts of the project did rely on us having a solid style.

My favourite aspect was designing the website and learning how to design for a mobile device.

My biggest learning was A) not to get too attached to my designs. Things that I was proud of before won't necessarily work with the rest of the ever developing design. B) To never stop developing. There's always more you can do.

If I had more time I would develop the web design even further. Same with the poster. I feel like it's not really finished, but you gotta stop somewhere.
