This time, we had a about a week to recover from that half term week of activities, thats how I saw it anyways. This time, we did some designs for the invitations and I think the banner for the website which should hopefully be done soon. Anyway, we basically got the design brief, which was quite loose, basically do anything you want, and we just started from there.
Sarah, the project manager at the YCN, gave us lot a quick run down ofwhat YCN does and trying to inspire us at the same time. And Alex, an intern there, helped us out with our ideas, helped us out with the software and all that stuff. I might have under-played his role a bit as he helped out alot. And Nick the director popped in and out a couple of times. It was kind of refreshing to see people who are really laid-back and informal about their job, since we've met architects and designers, there's professional and perhaps formal feeling that I get. But today was like laid-back and cool atomsphere.
So in the end, we decided on a couple of different outcomes, it's hard to desrcibe in words but I'll try. My idea was a typical london underground logo but played around a little bit. Benas's one was a grid-like, train tracks design. Naomi's idea was to use the metaphor of a camera in a cool sort of way but that's as much as I know. And Holly did a 'tag' kind of design with Kings with train tracks etc. Ufortunately Michael and Kofi couldn't show up so I suppose they'll have to like what we've got. All in all, it was a fun excerise and it was cool, relaxed way to end a Friday afternoon. For me anyways.
Oh, and I have to thank Sarah for the magazine and the other stuff, it was interesting to look at and still reading it.
