Post 1: Case Studies


Last Wednesday (21/7) in our first session we looked at several case studies related to various areas of graphic design on the site:
designcouncil.org.uk



at the case study: Unpackaged
An innovative example of graphic design being used effectively to reposition and re-brand products/services and the way in which they are perceived by the public.

Other useful sites are:
rebrand.com
(we looked at the case study: rebrand.com/2009-best-love-146
which is a great example, but there are heaps more...)
& designboom.com

& local designers/studios
inkahoots.com.au (Brisbane based studio who are a little outside the box)
cato.com.au (Australian based international design firm)
Of course these are just a starting point...

The task for this first post is to:
1: Locate a case study from one of the following areas of Graphic Design that is of interest to you or that you would like to know more about:
Branding/Corporate Identity
Packaging
Publication Design
Infographics
Signage/Architectural/Environmental Graphics
Music Graphics
Typography
Website design
Film & TV Graphics

2: Write a brief summary of your chosen case study/example and your response and thoughts on the project. Please provide at least one image of the case study you and using and, of course, a link to the case study.

3: Then find two other examples of recent graphic design work that you feel relates to your chosen case study. Explain why.

For example: If you use the unpackaged case study (above) you might find examples of green packaging/thinking that relate.

This post is to be completed by Wednesday 4th August (by the start of class)
200words + images + links please.

Go to it!
