Brief External Collab Initial Research

EXTERNAL COLLAB 1

- Call with Lina on possible collab projects 

- Both found an interest in Y2K retro futurism aesthetic 

- Could explore various possible avenues for this brief, within printed and digital publications, posters and other digital online outputs 

- Her role: Styling of models, photography

- My role: Creation of backgrounds (3D or collage), layout of visuals with photography 

- Both of us would work together on idea generating of general images and visual themes, and on the output of the brief 

- This brief has a loose context, in that the output nor the specific focus is known yet. This will be determined later on. 

Initial Image Collecting for Research 










Existing Examples of Publications on Y2K retro futurism 

"What’s Cyber? Fashion Book: 2 Cyber Style" – Kerouac Vol. 5 (1998)

Cyberdog advertisement in Kerouac (Kera) magazine - Issue 47 - Aug. 2002

Tunica Magazine - Extended Fantasy - Issue 07 - 2019

TUNICA MAGAZINE 

aim to break down the traditional structure of a magazine, the latest issue of Tunica is replete with experimental and interchangeable design. Ringing good riddance to the grid system, Tunica, the New York-based studio behind the publication, instead makes an “artwork of each spread, so the whole magazine becomes an art object in itself.”






= words used in collab with imagery as a visual aspect rather than a legible element to the work 

= Interesting to see the ways in which the backgrounds for this brief don't have to be 3D created, but instead could form around more abstract representations of spaces or simple gradients

= It can be more decorative coloured visuals rather than obvious spaces and environments

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
