About the final project for: Graphic Design with Geometric Shapes

Graphic Design with Geometric Shapes

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and advice will help you when telling a story from the symbolism of geometric shapes. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project: Define the story you will tell Choose one of your favorite songs. It is important that you do it with your heart and not thinking that later you will have to graph it. That song will be the foundation stone, so you will have to feel fully with that selection that will accompany you throughout the entire project.

Choose the name of the product From all the lyrics of the song, select a keyword (the strongest, the most significant) to become the name of your product. Select key elements Looking very carefully at the brief and the basic requirements of what has to be communicated, he selects words, phrases or solid concepts from that same song to later graph them. You can go beyond the words and also delve into rhythmic, stylistic issues, color details of the song, anecdotal data and all the periphery of information that you can resignify and bring to the forefront. In addition, you must make a mood board to have a reference.
Develop the design Graph your concepts based on the climate you want to generate, complement it with the typographic universe, the color and determine which will be the elements that will remain firm in each piece and which will mutate.
Display and present Complete your visual identity by setting up your designs in attractive mock-ups that allow you to visualize your work in the best way and put together a strong presentation that best shows the entire creative process you have gone through.
Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum! ”

Partial transcription of the video

“Final project We have reached the end of this course. a journey that may not have been so linear and I hope you enjoyed it. I started by telling you a little about myself and showing you my influences. Beyond clear design influences, It is important that you feed on other worlds to enrich your own universe. We tried different ways to represent objects or ideas graphically through geometry and composition. Then we focus on shaping the story we will tell, Starting from a brief and nourishing it with our own vision. The rational, the emotional and the personal vision They made this story stron...”
