Collaborative Design Practice 
Task 3 : Prototype



INSTRUCTIONS : 





RESEARCH :

For this task research, the business school students group 22 decided to conduct a quick market research as well as prototype packaging research in order to receive feedback regarding the packaging design from public's opinion.

Following feedback from the market research, we (the design team and business school students) chose to reduce the size of the packaging sleeve in order to keep the products remain visible to our consumers.



PROGRESSION :


  • WEEK 7 : IDEATION


Figure 1.0 Miro Board


We began to add our final design research (moodboard) as well as finalise our design idea after obtaining many helpful feedbacks from both our instructor and the business school students in order to our Miro Board so that all the members including the design team as well as the business students, in order for the design student retain the consistency of our design.




Figure 1.1 Brand Guideline


As previously stated, as a group leader, I decided to start designing our first brand guideline, which contains our logo, colour palettes, Typography, and Graphical Elements as a starter to help us maintain our design consistency.




Figure 1.2 Simpler Wordmark


We decided to build a simplified version of our present logo for the kitaketo logo, since this will enable our brand to be recognisable and acceptable to be applied in any design output later, and we opted to use the wordmark largely on our instagram account.




Figure 1.3 Typography


In terms of typography, we continue to employ the fonts that we chose in previous weeks since we believe they are truly appropriate and suited to this brand. We chose Geologica Medium and Light for the header, as well as Poppins Semibold and Light for the body.





Figure 1.4 Color Palletes


As our professor, Ms Lilian, had told us earlier in the week, we opted to broaden our colour palettes for the colour palettes. We chose to broaden our colour palettes to better reflect our product and what our customers demand. This week's primary and secondary colours are green and orange, which signify health/nature and pumpkin, respectively.




Figure 1.5 Initial Packaging Design


We opted to utilise a more neutral and warm colour that also represents environmentally safe packaging for the packaging design, which is why we chose brown as the main colour for the package design. Green colours will compliment the packaging design for the typography and graphical elements, making the packaging appear even more environmentally friendly and healthy.



  • WEEK 8 : REFINEMENT



Figure 2.2 New Brand Guideline


Following that, we decided to begin expanding our brand guidelines by include new features such as mascots and even a new colour palette to make the brand more engaging.



Figure 2.3 Packaging Design

We also received feedback on the packaging from business school students, who stated that they prefer the orange pastel colour for the packaging rather than the brown colour that we designed because they were concerned that the packaging design (sleeves) would be the same colour as the biodegradable packaging that they use.




Figure 2.3 Instagram Template


This week, we also decided to start creating promotional materials, including a social media account. We started playing and experimenting with colours and elements to create an appealing and professional looking instagram account for the kitaketo brand, and we decided to use our three colour pallets for the instagram account to maintain consistency while also adding some variation and avoiding dullness by playing and experimenting with three different colours.




Figure 2.4 Instagram Stories


Not only did we create an Instagram account, but we also opted to create Instagram stories that mostly feature the orange colours. The goal of the Instagram story strategy is to make the account more active and to communicate with the followers and audience more effectively.






Figure 2.5 Brand Mascot


We also finalised our brand's mascot this week, coming up with four alternative positions and expressions. The mascot's colour will be orange, and it will take on the shape of a pumpkin to promote the brand's pumpkin-based roti canai.




  • WEEK 9 : ADDITIONAL
Brand guidelines will be outlined and enhanced this week. This week, the logo will be justified, and some logo applications will be presented. Not only that, but inappropriate logo usage will be reinstated in order to maintain brand consistency.



Figure 3.1 Logo Rationale
 

The word mark logo for the healthy food brand follows the brand aesthetic of minimalistic illustrative approach while communicating the brand's main goals using the brand's chosen colors and including meaning behind the letters "a" and "o". The logo's typography aims to convey a friendly, modern and approachable vibe by having a round, script sans serif style.

Figure 3.3 Logo Variations




Figure 3.4 Logo Minimum Size


This section discusses the minimum size of the brand's logo. To avoid possible pixelation on the logo and to keep the logo visible so that people can correctly recognise and understand the logo.



Figure 3.5 Logo Improper Use


This section will discuss incorrect logo usage and what should be avoided. Again, inappropriate usage logos are required to maintain consistency.

We also got the opportunity to print our packaging this week. The business school students decided to perform another market study to get input on their products, and we (the design students) took use of the chance to get feedback on our packaging design.





  • WEEK 10 : FINALIZE

Figure 4.3 Final Packaging


We opted to narrow down the package sleeves after receiving input from the business school's market research, and after a lengthy conversation with the business school students, in order to keep the products visible from the outside, as the consumers desired.

We also modified the colour from orange to green to make it more appealing as a healthy dish, and the customers liked it.




Figure 4.4 Promotional Video

We were also able to create another design product, the promotional video. This promotional material will be utilised to entice individuals and pique their interest in the goods.

NEXT COURSE OF AN ACTION :

  • WEEK 7 :
    • Further exploration for packaging design
    • Utilize the mascot more, it's sad that a good mascot is barely even applied on your design output
    • Well organized Brand Guideline

  • WEEK 9 :
    • The brown packaging looks convincing to be called as an environmentally friendly product, but still follow what your client want.
    • The advertising video needs to be improved, so many information and kinetic animation

REFLECTIONS :


This task was really difficult, particularly for Gita and me. As a group leader, it is my responsibility to ensure that everyone contributes well in the group and that all team members work together; however, most of the group members were absent, and the design output did not match the standard that we had agreed upon. I hope that in the future, everyone can participate to the group project, rather than just the 4-5 people who work in the group.
