Crit Notes: D&AD, YCN Briefs

Beck's:
  • Initial research into the Beck's brand and brand identity. 
  • Beck's USP brewed according to the German Purity Law.
  • Research of existing advertising for Beck's.
  • Further research into other beer brands and their advertising campaigns; Heineken, Corona, Amstel, Carling, Fosters, Carlsberg and Budweiser.
  • Work using the existing Beck's colour palette to enforce brand recognition and identity.
  • Found examples of the Heineken 'Made to Entertain' Campaign relating to the my brief Beck's Fusions Art and Music.

Faber & Faber:
  • Decided on producing 5 book cover designs for the titles; 28 Days Later, Goodfellas, Se7en, Taxi Driver, Trainspotting.
  • Initial research into Faber & Faber and Penguin Books.
  • Found examples of existing covers from the Faber & Faber range.
  • Looked at examples of artist designed covers and books.

Actions:
I now need to;
  • Research alcohol brands such as Absolut Vodka and Budweiser that have links to music and sports events.
  • Further research both Faber & Faber and Penguin Books to find current and past cover designs of individual books and book sets.
  • Research of book sets will be helpful as I can see how typography and colour are used to show continuity.
  • Research typography and type design.
  • Start initial idea generation and thumbnail sketches.
  • Watch the 5 films to recap and understand them, maybe get quotes to be used on the cover designs.
