From this we narrowed it down to a couple of ideas that would provide sufficient research and design opportunities but also the ones we thought would be the most successful lie to tell. After discussing what idea would be best we decided upon the fake competition because because it would be the most convincing but also we could target the whole college who would be less suspicious compared to our peer group.
We then brainstormed fake competition ideas that could deceive people around uni, a couple of ideas until we came up with the idea to enter a photograph of yourself either to win a camera or the adobe master suite. It was just a matter of refining our ideas so we could make a start. The finalised idea is to create a fake competition where entrants submit a weird/funny photo of themselves for the chance to win a lomography camera.
This is the design sheet I created for the set of promotional posters. Everyone in the group did their own design ideas and then we came together as a group to discuss suitable ideas, see which ones work and which ones can be discarded straight away. We also looked for any common ideas that we may have had which we could pursue further.
This is a design James created as a visual representation of face off to go on both posters and flyers.
I put my newly found illustrator skills to use to design the lomography camera for bother the posters and the flyers. I'm so pleased with overall design, it's basically a spitting image of the camera and has been done to a high standard which I believe makes it more convincing and should hopefully deceive more people.
Below are some layout we did together on indesign, Beth and James did most of the technical work because they had the required skill set to use indesign, our job was to give feedback on layout and colours.
Below are the printed leaflets and posters we made to be distributed around uni, the designs aren't too extravagant because we needed to design everything within a day in order to distribute, promote the competition and receive entries by the end of the week.
These are just some images of the leaflets and posters around uni, we placed them on all the information boards and on the tables in the mosaic bar.
This was our first entry but we did ask him to enter unfortunately but we needed to get the ball rolling to make the competition look convincing.
To promote the fake competition more we got Joe our course rep to post it on the graphic design facebook page.
Below is just a self evaluation formed we filled in as individuals about working in a group etc...
