The Design Work Flow: Fun新Fun心~喜迎春

The first perception after we are on with this project, is to create a look and feel for this CD album design to its targeted market group.At first we try to combine photo by explore various styles, just to make sure we are on the right path before we start with any design rationale.

With various of style been consider, we know that which one our design should focus on and just to have a solid definition, a mood board is created to showcase what we target to archive for the design outcome. This is for both client and us to have a clear vision on what we are to strategize with a design style.

*Design proposal screen shot.

We've come out with some design directions for clients to have a clear decision of which concept are to be finalize or to further improvise from the design proposed.

Thats how the above concept (A prosperity moment of outdoor scene, with cute & doodles’ element & graphical scene environment. Using colourful & simple graphic to bring out the festive yet modern design & Chinese New year Moment. ) was agreeable by everyone and to proceed on to adapting to all the necessary promotional material, such as cd album, poster & banner...

*Poster Design

After the initial concept is define, the next attempt is to add more design enhancement to the packaging structure base on the cost and budget allocate for the project production cost.

Personally I quite like the old style because it look more cluster, but still have to keep update on new stuff that you cannot walk away from....

Yes~ Augemented Reality profile, although after some time, this ideas had present in you tube since 2009, developed & enhance by saqoosha & others more.because of the name of augementad reality misleading the original idea of what this programing actually do..

An open source code, so everyone had toy with the idea if you search in you tube. it can be a simple way to using this ideas to show your personal details & also develop into a complicated programing to do a lot of things. True... i find this interesting to show your info rather than using a pixelated QR code =)

Because of the open source rules , so I also need to accept the term & reveal the source code i use to do this programing. I'm a designer & not a programing developer, so there are not rules to follow.. I only write the code to archive the results I wanted.
