Tangles Salon – Preliminary Comps

Preliminary Wireframe Sketches: (By the end, my wireframes looked like this, but I'm jumping ahead...) First attempts at design:

Bitmap Font: Concept Development

My first step in creating my own Bitmap font was redrawing the alphabet using only straight lines and 90 degree angles. Essentially each letter became a piece of line art. Next, I sketched out the letters on a grid. I established the x-height, ascenders, descenders, and width of the letters before moving on to the computer. …

App Design: Concept Development

I started my design process with some sketches. I knew I wanted the brand to feature a chick, to play off the name "Cheap" (a pun for a chick saying "Cheep"). My original name for the app was "Cheap Thrills" but that felt too adult-like and maybe even a little risqué. Because of my young …

App Design: Initial Ideas

The first step of designing an app was brainstorming. We were told to create an app centered around New York, so I had to think of common/valid problems that New Yorkers and New York Tourists face. Hopefully the app I come up with will solve one of these problems (or at least make it easier to …

Speeches Booklet: Concept Development

First I experimented with different styles for the Intro Pages of each speech. I used my shortest speech (Susan B. Anthony) and my longest speech (Lynden B. Johnson) as examples. Next, I chose one style that I liked best and applied it to all five speeches. After that, I started experimenting with how the bulk of each …

Web Redesign: Concept Development

We cut and pasted elements from each site to create collages. These collages represented the basic functionality of our redesigned site. After creating these collages and having a discussion with the class, there was a lot of confusion about our site. People were confused about the purpose and how getting care worked. What audience were we …

Create a Letter

Assignment: Create a new letter of the alphabet and integrate it into an existing font so well that you don't notice it at first glance. I chose the font American Typewriter. I started my process with some sketches. I had the alphabet laid out in front of me (set in American Typewriter) and started combining …

Display Design: Concept Development

I printed out a pile of images that I found while researching. I took notes on them, pointing out what aspects of the designs I found valuable and interesting enough to include in our kiosk design. Below are the notes I took and some sketches I made. As a group, our ideas started to flow …

Package Design: Concept Development

For the first option (eyeshadow palettes) I took a lot of time planning the color selection for the eyeshadows. I also focused on choosing and editing the photographs of Greek architecture for the exterior of the palettes and the overall box. I wanted to keep a Greek theme but make it colorful and animated. I was …
