OUGD406: Studio Brief 04 - Reflective Practice - Speaking From Experience - Digital Design Ideas

After looking at this without the grid. It still looked too empty. So I separated the weekdays into columns. 

Feedback:

Ahh it looks so good! It's a little plain tho? Could you add some coloured lines for them to write on maybe? It looks very formal? It looks amazing tho!"

"Yeahhhh that looks cute! Maybe like greens and yellows? They're quite neutral?"

Maybe not pink but perhaps the colour could be added like this.

Another piece of feedback I was given was:

"Love the writing and typography, and I think you need to space the days of the week out across the page, maybe set 1 inch or Half 1 inch margins around the page and spread them inbetween that so that there's more space to write"

And in regards to colour:

"That's alright! Yeah yellow with little white dots would be super cute and would work for both genders"

Taking into consideration that this would be mass produced. Maybe create it in grey scale so that it is cheaper to make:

Questions:

Should I abbreviate the week days?

"Could work. The style of type you have chosen would not work with abbreviations."

"I'd work with the style of type as small scale. It's not particularly visible. However, I do like the design."

"3 letter abbreviations would work quite well."

"I'm not a fan of abbreviations."

What should I change or take into consideration within this design? 

"Add some supporting imagery to make look less like a chore. :)"

"Really fun colours could be used to make chores seem more 'fun.'"

"Too much space is taken up by the design (title), utilise space per writing."

"More space for days of the week, less space for goals and "exciting adventures" - gives people more room to plan and add things during the week."

"There are a lot of weekly planners out there, how can you make yours different?"

"Would it be appealing to boys?"

Is there a better way I could display the goals and exciting adventures part?

Exciting adventures are meant to be fun things you have planned for after you have finished your goals.

"Could that be a separate poster?"

"Are they necessary? Perhaps add them as a part of the week table?"

"Look at printing vinyl and sticking onto a whiteboard so that the design is editable by the user."

"Looks good. Perhaps add graphics terms like font, point size."

Any other feedback:

"Fun and intimidating, perhaps use colours and a style that would appeal to both sexes."

"Maybe try splitting the design into three different sheets."
