Below shows development, focusing on the theme of difficult feelings, experimenting with the layout, proportion and colours of the shapes and designs. Feedback suggested that the designs were successful as how the shapes are displayed and the close proximity of them, the closer together they are the more effective the designs are in meeting the brief, without being too triggering to young people, it has been done and achieved in a much more abstract way.
Looking at the different colour ways and schemes, the most successful design used the darker colours as a background colour which makes the shapes stand out a lot more. The colours used also relate to the theme well, without being too harsh, for example staying away from the use of black works well.
Below show the other design development for the key theme of hope and positivity. Feedback suggested that using a smaller number of colours worked best as it wasn't too busy, also using more gender neutral colours, staying away from the pink as well, this made the design look too immature.
Feedback also suggested not using darker colours as it didn’t represent the feelings of hope in a good light, the lighter colours were more effective. However staying away from white as it kind of made the illustrations get lost, the designs look a lot better and more suited on a coloured background.
It was also stated in feedback that the designs looked too busy to be representing hope and positivity and calm, positive space. Therefore it was decided to create more white space between the shapes, creating a better breathing, calm space for young people, so that the shapes weren't suffocating each other and the space around them.
