PROJECT:4 KINETIC IDENTITY

2005-04-08T00:16:00.000+03:00

In this project, we will study an unconventional approach to corporate identity design. As an alternative method, kinetic identity aims to construct a visual identity with ‘changeable elements’ instead of repeating fixed units.

By using different techniques of kinetic identity, this project requires you to design a corporate identity for a new place opening in Bilkent campus which serves food. ‘Where will this place be located’, ‘what kind of food/drinks it will offer’, ‘does it offer an alternative taste or improve the existing places’, ‘how the food is served’, ‘what will be the size of the company’, ‘what are the working hours’, etc. are the questions that you have to find the answers according to your research & analysis of the campus and the eating habbits.

While designing a new place for eating, every creative proposal for an ‘alternative’ place is welcome. But, don’t forget that the campus and the campus life are our reference points! Thus, your proposals should fit into our campus environment and its needs.

Your corporate identity design includes the following items:
1) The name of the company.
2) The logotype/emblem of the company.
3) Take-home set:
A food container, a liquid container & a bag (to carry them).
4) One of the following items:
Building sign,
Uniform (of the company workers),
Table mat,
Salt & pepper,
Napkin.

Timetable:

APR.19.05:General discussion. Hearing proposals.
APR.21.05:Drafts for the logotype.
APR.26.05:Drafts for the take-home set.
APR.28.05:Working models for the take-home set.

PROJECT2: TYPOGRAPHIC SPACE

2005-02-25T12:55:00.000+02:00

In this project we will focus on the typographic abstraction and representation of a ‘living space.’ The aim is to examine, analyse and represent the qualities of a specific social space through a
typographic composition. By experimenting with new forms and relations in typography, you are expected to transform an experienced and shared space into visual form.

In this context, abstraction is an important keyword. Our project DOES NOT involve ‘drawing by letters’; but arranging typographic forms in accord with design principles so that the finished composition will create the ‘feeling’ of the selected social space. The project requires you to ‘transform’ a social space into a ‘typographic abstraction.’ The function of the area, people’s behaviour, its sounds, directions, movement, history, architecture, colors, simply all features that create the atmosphere of your selected social space, can be used as keywords for departure.

In this project, you have to come up with your own materials. Instead of using dummy text, please refer to your ‘subject.’ You can use your notes, previously written material, comments, dialogues, signs or even noises as your material. Be creative!

format: 60x60 cm. color: free

Timetable:

FEB.24.05:Project is given.
PLEASE COME PREPARED FOR NEXT CLASS!
Chose your topic and bring your collage materials!

General Culture

If you want to test your general culture and have fun you can visit this site.

I think general culture is an importanat point in design by the means of cathing good ideas and bright solutions..

This page contains lots of written material on 6sigma which you can use as a dummy text.
For illustrations you can borrow graphics from the powerpoint file (stored on computer 15 in the comp. lab).
No need to say, you can use your own images also.

About BASE

2005-02-13T16:09:00.000+02:00

I was wondering if our teachers can help us for the content of the BASE project...

2005-02-10T21:10:00.000+02:00

The language of this blog is english; so as the Gra302 course. I think, we have to insist on writing in english, so that EVERYONE in the studio can benefit EQUALLY from this blog.

welcoming message

2005-02-09T16:03:00.000+02:00

since this blog is for GRA 302, from now on all GRA 302 students who are registered at blogger.com and are members of our blog may contribute to the blog. you can share ideas, thoughts, visuals, events, URLs that are related directly or indirectly with our course. the blog has only (hopefully) one problem concerning macos 9 users, the "comment" link is problematic so i advise you not to use macos 9 if possible. the website offers two small and free applications for uploading images. they are user friendly and quite handy.

windows users can use the Hello BloggerBot and mac users can use Flickr to post pictures directly to the blog.

i hope this blog will be of use. enjoy it!
