Learner Survival guide - brief

Brief 

You have been asked to design the front/back cover for the 2015/16 north Nottingham College Learner Survival Guide. the visual style of the survival guide should appeal to all students male and female, from the young to the more mature students, from all social and cultural backgrounds. your primary objective is to produce 3 different designs that reflect the nature of NNC using exciting, dynamic and original typographical style, photo and graphic images.


I looked into a range of different ideas and concepts to create the learner survival guide cover on the mac computer. I researched and analysed ideas to reflect the age group. The brief was set for a age range of 16 to young adults therefore I had to design something that applied to everyone. I also broke down the words of the brief. I looked at the title with the word 'survival' so I thought of ideas to relate to the word survival. the concepts I thought of was related to films and TV series which both fitted the the title but also the age group. I looked on the internet for a variety of TV series e.g. the walking dead, vampire diaries, and american horror story.


I liked the idea of using a television or film as the main idea, as it worked well with the brief. I found the one which I was interested in, was american horror story as it is to do with survival and also appeals to age groups variegating around college as well as both genders and cultures. I looked for inspiration on the internet to do with american horror story looking at the series and plots to each one. I found that the most recognizable image which represents and reminds you of american horror story is the skeleton makeup form season one murder house.
