Assignment 5

Objective

Generate unique design ideas for the wallet design based on the future state journey map and persona profile created in class. Generate ideas related to the visual aesthetic of the wallet.

Part 1- Six Individual Design solutions for the wallet

Using the outcomes of the future state journey map and the corresponding persona profile create six (6) ideas for a unique wallet design. 

Again, focus on unique, innovative, and original ideas for the design. Do not belabor the process, be quick and suggest interesting and innovative solutions. Think different. 

Process: 

  • Record each idea on a 5.5"X8.5" piece of paper. 
  • Sketch freehand with a sharpie marker. (Use a pencil sketch first and go over with the sharpie for a more forgiving method.) 
  • Draw and label using sketchnote techniques (picture and words) in a size large enough to read when pinned on the wall. 

Part 2 - Aesthetic Direction 

Select five ideas of existing visual aesthetics to set a direction for the design of the wallet. Use the future state journey map, persona profile and unique ideas completed in Part 1 as direction for appropriateness of the aesthetic inspiration images. 

Use the following as a guide for selection of images (do not use images of wallets):

  • fashion - what would the persona wear with the wallet?
  • home - what residence would you find the wallet? 
  • furnishings - what chair would the wallet sit in? 
  • art - what painting, sculpture, etc.. would the persona associate with the wallet?
  • other....be your creative self...

Consider looking at innovative and award winning design and art. Look at the very best in visual design and art for ideas. 

Some places to start... or use other website and resources you may already be familiar.:

Unless color is a factor in the design selection print in black and white. 

Print each image on a 5.5"X8.5" pice of paper. Fit the image as large as possible on each sheet. You will be posting the images on the wall.  

Create one color study sheet 8.5X11 max.

Use the color website found here: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/

Crate an account and create four schemes. (Print the four schemes on a single sheet of paper.) Advanced team members help your team members with less experience.) 

  • Create two schemes by using color systems (see the Color Rule tools in the application.)  
  • Create two color schemes by uploading paintings or color images you find to have interesting colors. (Click on the camera icon (create from image tool) on the main page.)
