Development of Spreads 2

> As Rhianna wants some specific photos to be prominent, full bleed and untampered with, I have to design these in a way that it doesn't feel inconsistent with the rest of the publication with the lack of detail and graphics 

> Simple wireframes work well for this as they provide detail without being too prominent and create a futuristic tone 

> Rhianna Feedback: Reduce opacity of wireframes, don't want them too prominent on photos 


> Colour tones between the two photos don't balance well within the spread 
> Left is more pink tones, while right is silvers, contrast between warm and cold 
> Manipulation of left image to be less warm by reducing the red tones and adding more blue 


> Rhianna Feedback: Colours off on the left photo needs to be changed. Will altar the image to be more consistent in tone with right image but in way that doesn't impact the tone of her skin 

> Return to spread design from yesterday with fresh mind 
> Removal of 3D element as this wasn't the right tone for the spread, as well as the contradicting two tones of colourful with monochrome 
> Research on more futuristic interesting typefaces meant more inspiration for new designs and layouts 
> As this publication is a visual journey, there is importance on the typefaces as they can elevate the futuristic design and tone 
> Layering of type over detail visuals plays with this idea of dimensions 


> Space to fill on the right spread but no other images carry this rainbow colour aesthetic as the left image 
> This spread will have to be a contrast of colours at some level, but this can be done in an interesting way that feels cohesive 


> While playing around with images to drop into the right spread, I accidentally placed an image full bleed into the right page, but this close crop works really successfully
> Less detail within the photo as its more zoomed in, however it still acts as a photo visual 

 


> Rhianna Feedback: Use different image in the close crop as this image should have prominence on another page with less overlaying detail

> Placement of different image works successfully with more space for details above to be moved and for these different elements to have the needed balance for individual focus

> Following wanting to explore the 3D side produced 3D metallic type on words around the subject of transhumanism 
> Important images chosen by Rhianna that need focus and prominence allow strong type direction as they can be placed around the images without affecting the image itself, unlike other spreads where images are more interactive with the graphics 
> Silver metallic drops give this additional detail to the metallic aesthetic 


> Type on left feels overcomplicated and layers too much on the image?
> Holographic can have opacity reduced to reflect the holographic quality 


> Allow more space for the metallic drops to be seen and to show the image being enveloped by them?



> Simplifying of spread, reducing the amount of silver drops 
> Gold tones in images with silver tones of details and graphics work well as a contrast, which was trying to be achieved in previously when trying 3D type  

> Personally think the image on the right is not necessarily a very interesting image within the theme of futurism, just looks like a girl with make up
> Other images could go here in her place but would Rhianna want to keep the picture in the publication? 
> Doesn't necessarily go with the spread topic of 'holographic avatars' either, whilst the left one does 
> Idea that as the viewer you could pick which avatar you wanted to buy to add to a wardrobe of avatars in this future year of 3000

 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...
