OUGD502 - Shortlisted Design Entry for Whitecoate Primary School

As part of the OUGD503 Responsive module for studio practice, we had to enter various external competitions and briefs. One competition I decided to produce work for and enter was a banner design brief whereby Whitecoate Primary School were asking for someone to design a series of banners to promote their new 'ASPIRE' reward system, which would be hung in the entrance hall to the school. My concept pitch was as follows:







It was eventually found out after receiving an email from the school themselves that my entry had been shortlisted into a final group of designs to choose from. Although I did not win the competition, this was still very exciting for me since it showed that my work had been recognised and considered by someone outside of the university for public use. This experience showed me the importance of entering things like this and in continuing my development as a designer then, I will continue to enter external competitions and briefs like so in order to try and get my name out into the world because potentially it could be recognised and something big could come from it.

Feedback was also received directly from the school, which stated: "We really liked this, and it was on our shortlist, but felt the text in boxes detracted from the overall design".
