Post 1: Case Studies

This Thursday (23/7) in class we looked at several case studies related to various areas of Graphic Design on the site:
www.designcouncil.org.uk

at two case studies: Unpackaged 

 and Serious** 

Both these studies are innovative examples of graphic design being used effectively to reposition and re-brand products/services and the way in which they are perceived by the public.

Other useful sites are:

www.rebrand.com

(we looked at the case study: www.rebrand.com/2009-best-love-146

which is a great example, but there are heaps more...)

& local designers/studios
www.inkahoots.com.au (Brisbane based studio who are a little outside the box)

www.cato.com.au (Australian based international design firm) 

Of course these are just a starting point...

The task for this first post is to:

1:  Locate a case study from one of the following areas of Graphic Design that is of interest to you or you would like to know more about:

Branding/Corporate Identity

Packaging

Publication Design

Infographics

Signage/Architectural/Environmental Graphics

Music Graphics

Typography

Website design

Film & TV Graphics

2: Write a brief summary of your chosen case study/example and your response and thoughts on the project. Please provide one image of the case study you and using and, of course, a link to the case study.

3: Then find two other examples of recent graphic design work that you feel relates to your chosen case study. Explain why.

For example: If you use the unpackaged case study (above) you might find examples of green packaging/thinking that relate.

This post is to be completed by Thursday 6th August (by the start of class)
