In Design - The Interview

After receiving the 'IN DESIGN. Workshop briefing.' brief, I was paired with Lisa Whitaker.  The task is to create a double page spread based upon them.  After a good half hour talk, I made these notes:

  • Lisa is from Bolton.
  • Very family orientated.
  • Married to husband David.
  • Two sons - Oliver aged 11 and Isaac aged 7.
  • David teaches guitar for a living.
  • As a result, the family is very musical.
  • Both her sons play guitar.
  • Oliver plays Rugby League.
  • David likes football, supporting Oldham Athletic.
  • As a result, Lisa watches football too.
  • The family have a huge record collection, reflecting their musical interests.
  • David owns 7 guitars.

Although a lot of these findings are based on her husband and children, they are based on her dedication to her family and are therefore a big part of her life.

Some notes on her design ethics:
  • Favours the colour purple.
  • Likes the 'heritage colours'.  Berrington Blue etc.
  • Leans towards the neat, sans serif fonts, but has appreciation for the Psychadelic typefaces.
