INSTRUCTIONS 


TASK 

WEEK 4
After dividing the tasks between the group, me, Ben and Agnes were tasked to work on the mascot, logo, colour palette, font, packaging designs and overall moodboard. We stuck to their cloud idea from week 1 meeting and proceeded onto the designs based off that. 

Three of us had our own meeting to discuss and sketch out ideas and do a bit of research as well and compiled everything on a whiteboard.

After presenting this to Ms Lilian, we decided to host another meeting with our client to get some approval and suggestions as well from them. Most of them had many concerns about the packaging as well as the mascot as they did not want to promote their brand with a "sick cloud" since that was what our mascot look like as it gives a negative impression towards their brand. They also had concerns about the placement of the barcode and the QR code.

After feedback from client & Ms Lillian:
Therefore, we have to come up with more sketches for the packaging designs and make amendments to the logo as well.

Based on the concerns the clients had with the packaging, me, Ben and Agnes made a list of what to do and made a task division based off their suggestions and decided to implement both our decisions on the design and also their suggestions as well considered their concerns.

These below are the new sketches for the logo after the clients expressed their concerns on a sick cloud as their mascot or logo as it could give a negative impression towards their brand, so they suggested making it a happy cloud.

Once we were done with all our refined sketches and adjustments, we compiled it all into slides for Task 2.

FEEDBACK 

Week 4 
- Ensure that you have a rationale for each decision you make, whether that it be a design related decision or adding a colour or an element in your design

Week 5 
- Treat the presentation as if we are presenting it directly to our clients
- Make sure to show how you got to a point, meaning that it is crucial to show the ideation process and initial drafts and elaborate on them. 


REFLECTION 

 So far, despite finally having the chance to work on brand identity, packaging design and all sorts of Graphic Design aspects which is what I always wanted to do, I realized how much of a tedious process it is to try and compromise a solution between the clients and our ideas, because there were times where it often clashes, especially since our clients aren't aware of several design rules and their demands go against said rules, thus we had to compromise and kept coming with different and alternate solutions which really made me think critically but I did enjoy the overall process of it.
