OUGD405 Studio Brief 1 | Frame | Research

To gain some ideas on where to go with this brief I've started by looking online to see what there is to offer from a variety of shops and sites. I will later further this research by going into stores so I can physically see the designs in person so it will be easier to determine what I do and don't like.

John Lewis

This design I feel is rather modernist in the way it's presented.  The decorative side to the design is kept very minimal with just two coloured circles; one full, one partially cut. Other than that everything is there for a reason: frame sizes, name of product and who it was made/designed by.

This is very different from the design seen before. Instead of a shape it's using a black and white photograph of Vera Wang herself. It has no information about what size it is.

This is one of many designs where a quote has been taken and blown up to catch the eye of the consumer.



Debenhams

I think is a clever one as it shows a variety of types of photos that could be used, so it's relevant to a wider number of people. Although it's very decorative it doesn't have any information on the overall size or the size of the individual squares within the frame. 

I do particularly like the second to left on the bottom row. I like the simple shape design made from just lines with no colour . I will look into this type of geometric design.
