OUGD401 - Critical Analysis : Aesthetics

For our second Context of Practice session with Fred we had to collect 6 images. 
2 of just type
2 of just image
and 2 of type and image

From these images we had to chose one that we liked and one that we disliked.
My choices...

Like

Dislike

Like

Like



Dislike


We had to come up with 5 aesthetic reasons why we liked or disliked the image. (purple post-it notes). Afterwards we compiled a group list which is shown below.




As designers it is our job to design for people with different aesthetic responses which means we should understand the different responses. We swapped images with another person and had to write our initial responses to their choices, we then had to look at it for a longer period of time and write another 3 responses. We did this until we had studied the images fully (post-it notes below.)


We were split into pairs and asked to come up with a set of aesthetic rules about design.


After this we had to choose 3 rules which reflected our own individual rules. We added these to post-it notes and put the up onto the board.

My 3 rules were :

All Graphic Design should be legible
Graphic Design should have a purpose
Colours should be appropriate to content.
