My Finale of Mr.nutcase Evaluation

The Mr. Nutcase company (my clients in question) are graphic design specialists who make art designs for various clients such as the general public who want personalises designs for everyday domestic objects from mobile phone cases to crash helmets. I was asked to create a new tablet or phone cover design inspired by a hobby of our choosing. 

Since I did my designs based around star wars. So my designs are mainly to anyone who likes Star Wars at any age and either Male or Female.

The research I did included looking at the Mr. Nutcase Company and their designs they do for whoever pays and the same from I Love Dust.

 

I did have to do some designs on paper of the first ideas and then refined by scanning and using computer software. I used adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as my computer editing software. My development of 2 of my 3 designs looked suitable of a pattern so I duplicated and rearranged my designs into a pattern. I also change the colours of the designs to make my patterns more vibrant and lively.

2 of my designs were made using various shapes, which were created to my designs. This meant experimenting with different shapes, some of the shapes worked and some didn’t.

 

DESIGN 1 = MOSAIC SITH EMPIRE SYMBOL

This is my first attempt. I drew my design on paper and then designed it in Photoshop. I used a variety of shapes to make the symbol. With my symbol complete, I made a zig and zag pattern of black and red. The down side is it did take time to make but it was worth it in the end. This would be successful for my target audience because it won't just appeal to Star Wars fans, but to other audiences as my symbol has the likeness of the spokes of a wheel or the pattern of Spanish and Italian mosaic tiles. I like this because it is spectacular to look at. I could improve on it maybe by using pastels, outlining the shapes or using different shapes. 

 

DESIGN 3 = MILLENIUM FALCON

This is my final attempt. I drew my design on paper and then scanned it into the computer. I used illustrator to used path trace to draw the outline of each shape to colour the shapes in. This would be successful for my target audience because it would appeal to Star Wars fans as the outline of the MILLENNIUM FALCON is recognisable. I like this because it has cartoon qualities . What I don't like about it is that it looks basic. I could improve it by added realistic affects like shadows and textured pattern. 

 

DESIGN 2 = CHECKERBOARD OF 2 COLOURED R2D2S

This is my second attempt. I drew my design on paper and then designed it in Photoshop. I used a variety of shapes to make the R2 D2 shape. With my R2 shape complete, I made a checker board pattern and used white and red - white and blue. This would be successful for my target audience because it would appeal to Star Wars fans as it is easily recognisable. There isn't a lot about it that I don't like about it. I like this design because it is good and easily laid out. I could improve it by design it a collection of individual characters.

My overall conclusion is that I think I've met the brief and that my designs are good for any phone or tablet case.
