7.1 [Preliminary Work] Thesis 1: Major Project / Thesis Materials

Continue to generate a visual system. Based on the results of your brainstorming session, create a top-level architecture document.

One-sheet

It's like the cheat sheet for your project, right? But a good one-sheet doesn't happen overnight. I took in all the suggestions and changes, and boy, did it get an upgrade. It's less about fancy words and more about making sure anyone who glances at it gets what the project is all about. The one-sheet became the visual ambassador of my project, telling its story in a way that's crystal clear. At the same time I start thinking about combine different elements with my brand logo and try different version. Then try to put things I have now together.

Top-Level Architecture

Now, this part was a bit like playing digital architect. I created a top-level architecture document that laid out the grand plan for my project. Imagine it like drawing the blueprint for your dream house. It showed the proposed functionality of the product in a straightforward way. No jargon, no complicated tech talk—just a simple roadmap that says, "Here's what my project is gonna do, and here's how it's gonna do it." It's like the GPS for my digital journey.

Posters

 This week, I started working on the design of the deliverables. Posters are the most accessible and most challenging place to start. I have always had this difficulty: the poster is the source of all information, but because of this, as a designer, you need to distill the most critical information and harmoniously present it on a limited piece of paper. This may be a series of messages or a single message. However, creating the poster would be pivotal for me to start creating and using visual system elements.
