OUGD406 - Communication is a Virus : 5-a-day, Graphic Design

One of the ideas which we came up with was aimed more at an audience of young graphic design students who maybe are not fully confident with the industry and which blogs/studios/designers they should be looking at on a daily basis. Similarly to our course people do not seem to have the resources they need in order to keep up with the pace of the industry. 

I came up with the idea of creating a website which is made up of different blogs, studio links and designers work which graphic designers should be aware of. This would be updated on a regular basis in order to keep up to date with the industry. 

After discussing this idea with the group we developed it to a concept which we are all positive about. 


We came produced a mind map of possible ideas and categories we could separate our website into. I think we would like to link the website to some of the tasks we were asked to complete during PPP. Our idea was to have 5 categories :
  • Information and Way Finding
  • Product and Packaging
  • Publication and Editorial
  • Retail and Promotion
  • Branding and Identity
We feel that this idea will benefit many aspiring designers to make them more confident with what is expected at degree level whilst also keeping them up to date with the industry.
