Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

2. Architecture is a collaborative art form that serves as a vital instrument
in shaping our future. The synergy of diverse teams has been a source
of joy, enabling individuals to contribute their unique perspectives and
expertise. Through this collaboration, architects can enhance their
skills and broaden their horizons, ultimately deepening their
understanding of how architecture can cater to the needs of different
communities.
My academic journey has been a rich and fulfilling experience, marked
by a wide range of design projects that presented unique challenges
and opportunities. Whether designing a friendship center that
fostered inclusivity, a commercial bank that prioritized user
experience, or a factory project that promoted sustainability, every
moment spent problem-solving, sketching, and collaborating with
peers and mentors was cherished.
Looking ahead, I am passionate about leveraging my architectural
knowledge and skills to address contemporary challenges. I am
convinced that architecture can be a positive force for change, from
designing sustainable, energy-efficient buildings to creating inclusive
and accessible spaces that benefit all members of society. I am
enthusiastic about contributing to the ongoing discourse on how
architecture can respond to the evolving needs of our world,
particularly in the areas of urbanization, climate change, and social
inequality.
In conclusion, architecture is an ever-evolving field that bridges the
gap between art and science, history and innovation, and individual
expression and communal well-being. It is a field that has captured my
imagination and taught me the importance of purposeful, responsible
design. As I move forward in my academic journey, I am excited to be
part of the transformative power of architecture, where every design
has the potential to shape a better future.

Covenant University is a private
Pentecostal Christian University,
which has been operating with
official status since 2002 in Ota,
Nigeria. Covenant is one of the
leading universities in Africa found
on Christian Mission Ethos.
The University community is
growing in leaps and bound, and
this is also reflected in the growth of
the student population especially
with the inclusion of new colleges in
earnest. As such, the University is
anticipating having an auditorium
facility that can serve as a wide
variety of events or activities,
especially lectures for large classes,
University events, general
entertainments, community
meetings, and global conferences.
The design considerations for this
project were noise and acoustics,
universal design, structural stability,
functionality and aesthetics,
building services, adaptability,
anthropometrics, and entrance/exit
points.
FORM DEVELOPMENT

CONCEPT
The initial building shape
starts with a basic solid
block, which served as the
foundation for the design.
The block was then
modified to achieve the
final mass
Sections towards the rear
were pushed in to create
room for ventilation, as
zoning in the building
required the section to be
adequately ventilated
Main auditorium area was
elevated above other
sections to accommodate
galleries, without
compromising sightlines
and headroom
The roof of the structure
was then tapered towards
the rear to accentuate
acoustics while also
reducing the need for
unnecessary void space

Landmark Site: Covenant
University Chapel
One of the most prominent
landmarks in the vicinity is
the Covenant University
Chapel. This impressive
chapel can accommodate
up to 4000 worshippers
and also serves many other
purposes beyond religious
services for the Covenant
University community.
ROAD CONDITION
The most direct way to
access this location is via
Faith Avenue. This privately
owned and maintained
road is constructed with
asphalt and is under the
ownership of Covenant
University.
VEGETATION
The site boasts an
expansive view of the
surrounding area, featuring
a collection of short grasses
and deciduous trees. It's a
popular destination for
birdwatchers and nature
enthusiasts alike. During
the summer months, the
area is adorned with an
array of wildflowers, and
various small animals call it
home.
TERRAIN
Although the flat terrain of
the site allows for easier
construction and
development, flooding and
drainage must be
considered. Proper
planning and engineering
measures are necessary.
Overall, the flatness of the
site offers opportunities for
various projects.
SITE FEATURES
The proposed construction
would necessitate clearing
the site of various natural
elements, including anthills,
tree stumps, hedges, and
plum trees. Additionally, the
site currently features
floodlights and manholes.

GT Bank's architectural design plays a crucial role in their branding
process. Both the exterior and interior spaces of their buildings are
carefully crafted to reflect the brand's image. The unconventional
designs that GT Bank is known for are evident in the shape of their

WASTE TO WEALTH
Waste to Wealth is a recycling factory with a focus
on processing paper and plastic waste, located in
Canaanland, Ota, Ogun state. The facility is
designed to serve as a sustainable architectural
model for recycling plant designs, both during and
after its construction. The project prioritizes
flexible space utilization, performance
expectations, natural light and views integration,
and standardized structural design. The factory's
primary consumers would be Covenant
University's local population and the Ota region.
The raw materials for the plant would largely be
sourced from the local community.
This initiative is a significant step towards
promoting eco-friendly practices and addressing
environmental concerns. The factory's location in
Canaanland, Ota, Ogun state is strategic as it
allows for easy access to the local population of
Covenant University and the larger Ota region. The
factory's architectural design aims to set the
standard for recycling plant designs across the
country. The incorporation of form with the
environment is a crucial aspect of the factory's
design, providing access to stunning views, and
maximizing the use of natural daylight. By utilizing
waste generated by the local population, Waste to
Wealth promotes a circular economy, reducing
waste and creating a valuable resource. EAGLE SQUARE

STRUCTURE
The building should be
structurally sound, also being
able to span a very long
distance without the use of
intermediate supports for this.
Portal frame is ideal in design
and construction
CHOICE
There is a need to achieve a
space effective and space
efficient environment by
maximising the use of auxiliary
facilities
FUNCTIONALITY
The design functions as a work
and eco-setting that supports
varied tasks with the ability to
expand and contract in
response to space design and
future use
ADAPTABILITY
Building is positioned on site
leaving maximum possible
room for expansion preferably
on 2 directions. The building
should be mainly dry
construction which can easily
be extended or modified
SUSTAINABILITY
The building manifests
sustainability across the full
spectrum of social and
environmental concerns with
energy efficient design
concepts and materials which
encourage responsible
environmental acts
ACCEESS AND VISIBILITY
Design should be accessible
and responsible, being able to
encourage community and
consumers’ well-being. Its
location will provide a
significant opportunity to
reinforce its role in waste
management
LIGHTING AND
VENTILATION
There should be adequate
access to views and natural
daylight from all points in the
spaces
PRODUCTION LIFE-CYCLE
The design is such that it
follows the production line of
recycling solid waste. The
spaces are designed such that
there is a coherent flow of
materials from one space to
another
