OUGD505: Studio Brief 1 - Reverse Design Development

Reverse Design Development 

Taking on board tutor feedback I started to experiment with how I could implement brutalist  inspired architecture into the reverse design, this resulted in taking images on the buildings and creating simple geometric shaped that were abstractly inspired by the form of particular buildings such as Trellick Tower in London and the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth.

I implemented these within the reverse design using a singular colour to create a negative space pattern that was engaging in the sense of an abstract visual focal point that contextually referenced the celebration of brutalist British architecture. I embedded these brutalist inspired patterns in with some more generic geometric patters to fill the whole design which worked well in using the negative space to create a strong and engaging design treatment for the reverse design.


Reflecting on this design it was established by myself and other students that this reverse design looked like two separate components that didn't work together in synergy to amend this I ended the brutalist pattern down to meet the transparent windows blending the two components to come together in a more visually engaging manner. This also filled the space more effectively to create a large block of colour which wasn't evident within the front design to make the banknote pop.
