OUGD505 Brief 2

I had decided that following on from the 1920s research and publication I did, I wanted to capitalise on two elements I found most interesting about the era; the Prohibition and the introduction of the travel poster.

I decided to design an international brand of alcohol, perhaps vodka, that would be based around the theme of travel and the glamour of it that made it so popular in the 20s.

I started by looking at examples of alcohol branding:

The first part of this module is to use our research to create a publication, taking the viewer through our research in a manner that we deem applicable to it. I started by looking into publication styles in general, and also into that of the 1920s.

I loved the idea of creating a newspaper in the style of the period that I'm looking at, and this would be more suited to this brief that when I have wanted to design a newspaper in the past. However, I am also keen to look into doing a magazine from this era, perhaps combining the concepts to create something similar to the Times Style or a publication of that style.
