Thesis 2: Module 6

-

This week I did a few updates on the branding elements and incorporated them into my app. I'm still working on the product listing and details, but I think it's getting closer. I plan to finish the app this coming week and have my focus group test it out by the end of the week. 

With the logo, I took out the starry pattern on top and instead used a sunburst; similar to how the logo was originally. 

I also mocked-up a few of the business system items and will continue to do so for next week. I plan for all of my prototypes to be comped via Photoshop. For the punch card, I might need to get creative with my photoshop skills to show that the card is punched out. 

I do have a question about comping in regards to the Thesis process book: Do the final prototypes/mockups need to be in the Thesis process book as well?

What I learned during this process is that there is a lot I need to do and I'm at a crossroads with my product's packaging or even sub-brand for their look. When designing the app, and I went to flavors, I was unsure how to describe each level (ex: Bars->Flavors->chosen flavor). I'm not sure if this is something I need to apply to the app first or the packaging. I took a break with packaging this week, to focus on the app, but it looks like it's going to have to accelerate this next week in Module 7.

TFIs (New) CBD Services Fact: CBD stores are increasing in San Antonio, TX. Problem: There is an abundance of CBD stores and products to choose from that it gets overwhelming and become less convenient for consumers to shop.  Goal: Through graphic design, I plan to design a way to help shoppers be more educated about the CBD products in their area while also being mindful of their accessibility to them.

Thesis 3: Module 10

-
This week, I worked on a few "house keeping" things from my deliverables. This included transferring the files from my temporary laptop to my computer and organizing the files one what's needed to be mocked up. Upon seeing what was left, I realized that some of the deliverables had the wrong website and so I was going through each deliverables to make sure it's correct. Upon doing that I also found some inconsistent typography. This was like a domino effect of edits I found. I recorded myself speaking about my deliverables in the PDF presentation. This presentation will go after my Thesis video presentation. I'm thinking the structure will go something like:  1) Thesis Video 2) Thesis Presentation (app video demo within it) 3) Question/Anser section I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm hoping to find out more in the upcoming weeks. Going through my presentation has helped me see what structure to do my presentation and how I need to get used to talking...

Thesis 3: Module 8

-
This past week in module 8, I've been trying to get re-organized in my new set up on a PC laptop while my computer is still in the shop. Some of my files got lost, including process works from Thesis 1. I'm thinking of ways to look for those files or how to fill in the missing pieces in my process book.  Organizing my final presentation PDF, and seeing the mock-ups back to back has helped me visualize my system's components and find ways to present them with more sophistication. For example, the app mock has been something I've been struggling with this semester since most online mock-ups don't fit well with the look of 210 confeccion. So, I think I'm going to create my own mock with the iPhone being an illustrative outline. I think my social media ads are shaping up, I found an ad mock (Ad Parlor) which I've done but the animation wasn't working due to the browser I was using. I'll tinker with it some more this module. I also worked on the rough vid...
