Presentation of Publication Development

Presentation Outcomes:

1 Gif of spread to showcase overall publication quickly to viewers, entice them into looking at post of publication [INSTA]

2 Continuous post of pages [INSTA]

3 Landscape presentations [DESIGN BOARDS]

> Close ups of detail on pages!

GIF

> Name aligned left vertically to mirror cover design 

> Lots of badges for decoration?

> Should they be neatly aligned in a formation layout alike to the cover, or more as background visuals?


> Feels messy with the badges, lots going on already with the publication design
> Keep things simple!
> Vertical name also won't work when presenting spreads, as there will be more negative space at the top and bottom 


> Texture in background to create similar feel to the cover and to reflect content designs with textiles in background 
> Fill black background won't work for all the spreads to stand out, will leave darker and black spreads indistinguishable from background 





> Detail in background instead of textured background to make the spreads stand out?
> Feels more clean cut and refined than the textured background 
> But need to use wireframe shape that would be seen when there is both portrait cover layout and landscape spread layout 


> Low opacity of details matches with content design but is counterintuitive with the black background and need for darker/black spreads to be distinctive in foreground 




> Frustrating process with photoshop in trying to get all the spreads in the same exact place so that the GIF works successfully when moving between pages 
> Found that there were fractional differences between each spread, despite sizing and moving them to be consistent with each other 
> Found you can lock layers: Yellow rectangle locked into place, then proceeded to size and move each spread to specifically match this one shape, rather than to different spreads during each stage 
> Line at centre also locked 
> Gradient at centre of rectangle shape on multiply layer style also created to make the book feel more printed than digital 



> Peer Feedback: Why not involve some of the NASA annotations in the background rather than silver badges or prominent type/details? Prefer the texture background to the plain black one  




> Slow down on cover pictures will allow some focus to allow the viewer to recognise what it is they are looking at
> Slowing down of frames so each spread can be seen properly 


> Continuous post to present inside spreads for viewers to look at properly additional to fast capture of all spreads in GIF 
> Different aesthetics in this direction, doesn't feel cohesive 
> Different colours and tones in spreads generally but with difference in mock up used, this heightens it and makes it worse, especially as the left mock up feels more matte while the right mock up feels more glossy 
> Should make two different posts, adopting the annotation and publication design aesthetic in one, and the other a simple showcase of lots of spreads 



> Think the two styles shown to viewer emphasises the different styles of project aesthetic overall 
> Showcases the publication to the viewer in different interesting ways 






> Could have taken away the shadow from the mock ups as didn't notice they were quite prominent on the spreads layered below 
> Overall posts feel developed and interesting, definitely best posts so far on design account 
> Will work well in adapting these for design boards to showcase project to another level

 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...
