This PlayLab03 – Today our class met Eugenie Dodd who is TOO COOL for a website, and Karen Burbano, an MAGBI alumni from 2017. And absolutly yes!, we’ve continue playing with SHAPES and Bauhaus! but today was different, we work individually instead of team player.

I got “Square” shape which is I think it suitable for my personality more than others. I’m happy with this Shapes and also individual working because today we have to expose the shape through ourself. I start with music and drawing, I knew deeply that I can talk to myself by this activity, start with cube shape as I usually drawn everytime when I have nothing in my head, then it go on to 7 pages sketch and I realize myself. what thing that I felt comfort and like it most. I love something that looks simple at first but if you look deeply, look twice you will fine something incredible.

so I try to make some square shape that can draw another square by endless posiibilities.

Model-1 : I choose wireframe and angle with solid color panel, but accidently found that there is interesting shadow happened

then I developed to Model-2 ( I shifted wireframe piece align in the middle to make shadow looks like a cube.

Then I played and experiment by painted

and this is the thing that accidently happend and I like it!

Some people from class try to present their pieces.

This is comment that I’ve got from Karen Burbano

• it’s good that you start with drawing
• you think too much, it seems to be square
• I don’t feel that is you, try to describe yourself in one word
• make it simple, Branding is the way you said too many info but say it in simple way
• if you can talk and present you work easily like you say to 5 years old boy, that’s great!
• no ANTI DESIGN, your work look like ANTI Design.. it’s Bauhaus

I’m kind of lost my mind, but yes it’s reflect something. I agreed about “SIMPLE” thing and Think too much. So this is a little bit lost direction but not that much.

so that’s why I was there, Why I decided to be here at LCC, I hope I’m gonna change in some way better and polished by people in this class.

OK then! no time to cry, I have faced this kind of situation long-long time ago, I’ll keep continue fixing, research and transform myself in some way.

Hope for better

Today is second day of study, our class had James he is founder of KIND Studio https://kindstudio.co.uk/ which is working about branding and many more visual design. Today’s topic is Brand Personality, James showed us some of his work that out of some visual things such as colors, smell, sounds, experiences actually it could be anything that impact your emotion, that’s what brand could tricker man’s emotion to get involve.

one of his work that amazed me which is the animation that processed by hand, and every single frames came from photos that printed out from receipt paper. I love texture and noise texture that happens when you print from a receipt machine, furthermore a craft feeling that reflected from analog-animation process.

let’s jump to the BRIEF! : today James want us to create brand personality of product or brand which generated from geometric shape + keyword. I grouped with 4 people, which is Golf, 1 Chinese girl and 2 Indian girl. We got Triangle + Caring ( these 2 words are so contrast so it quite challenging us) .. WE CAME WITH MANY OF IDEAS AND CONCEPT, while time was running out and finally we did “GUMMIES BEAR” which is contain a concept of Playful, Share, Playful & Gentle. we try to fixed yesterday’s problems and executed many of works in both physical and online visual. everything went well, we’ve got presentation, physical mood board, mock up of Gummies and also ambient songs! 

NOTES!

• Every team did well today! I like they way they delivered experiences and created new form of media and entertianing, (especially “The Witches” and “pillow talk” group) we tried to get out of our comfort zone and have fun!
• We laughed together, this thing made us closer!
• Paul said : I love when every laugh, it mean you guys have “emotion engage”, and This is a important thing that brand should do and deliver to their custumers.
• Engage at this moment, make them feel something, make them want to know more, make a connection, make emotional engagement!
• BRAND isn’t just a logo
