Level 6

 - project about yourself, something you can present to clients as a way of presenting you as a person and designer  - tagging work you like every day or week on instagram to engage with other creatives on instagram and start a conversation with them  - collect things you're interested in that could be made into a project eg. matchboxes into a book  - sex in different cultures, how does it work in different cultures? Gay culture > the heath meet up for sex, dubai > have to go to special places for sex - we have certain beliefs and perceptions that we all follow without thinking about it = we're all in a cult, it's just how far we take the beliefs  - love the bathroom talks, what about boys bathrooms?  - if not doing briefs for PPP do it for 603

 More Joely Experiments  > Discussion with Joely about experiments:  - feels bleak and depressing compared to playful vibrant quality of other mia experiments, would not feel consistent in the article, unless used specifically for area of article where the tone is more depressing and sensitive  - also lacks a digital touch and texture that other experiments have had  - images could also be seen as just simple iphone pics, needs to be approached with a sense of abstract perspective or more manipulation in order to make them more interesting and editorial like other article designs  > Also similar aesthetic to images done with Joely's selfies, need to make sure there is a distinctive aesthetic and tone to each person who provides a lockdown story, to show the uniqueness of each tale and keep it personal to that person > Depiction of other girl in images takes away the focus from Mia who's provided the story, does she have her own article?  ...

DESIGNERS SELF-PROMOTING PROJECTS TEAM 505  - David Benski has a aesthetic and direction that is very similar to what I strive for  - Approaches things with a fresh, fine art, collage perspective that looks to layering, dimensions and moulding together print and digital  - Team 505 is a studio created with him and other creatives that focusses on self-initiated projects and commercial projects. Set up under the studio name is also Sub Press, which is a publishing house that publishes self-initiated projects  - Their website presents these projects in an interesting video with a very DIY aesthetic of pulling around different windows and tabs, a recording of someone interacting with their own desktop  - There's a real love for print that is present in the creation of the publishing house Sub Press, and the website shows the immense amount of work and its diversity in a very unapologetic 'this is us' way  - You feel like you're there looking through their proj...

 Mia's Article  > Seeing the collages and colours gave me an anime feel > Her images feel almost very anime-esque  > Utilised manga speech bubbles as a way to present her story and thoughts  > Manga squares and layout also hinted to with the blocks of visuals and colours overlapping each other  > Still references a digital scape with the desktop images, more of this digital could be presented, more desktop images screenshots dotted around?  > Pink 3D speech bubbles for dimension and consistent in colour with overall tone of piece  > Colours shift throughout visuals as user scrolls downs to present the change in tone of story itself, eg. brown muggy green tones for when talking about toxic relationship, towards a vibrant pink tone for when talking about finding a new passion and love (both self and with someone new)  > Overall imagery presents flowers and vibrant summer vibes, to reflect her as a person as a f...

 Min Heo  - random ideas fleshed into comics  - best ideas come from small seed of idea and zoning out and questioning things  - repetition and iteration of the same idea over and over until it becomes fully formed  - taking time to observe life until it forms a story  - what would I find funny on instagram?  - instagram has been very beneficial despite its cons and having to fit work to that eg. make work that works with shorter attention spans of viewers  - how do you balance between personal and work? > always post once a week on instagram  Blink Industries - Charlie Perkins  - Been involved in lots of different areas within comedy to understand all perspectives and what she likes and doesn't  - Hug me I'm scared: doesn't come from expected comedy, fills the hole of what's needed in British comedy, which typically goes for ideas that worked and were successful and so are repeated  - it's distinctive and different, th...

 - Aria article     > background     > animations + interactions - main page layout development  - Mia article  ARIA ARTICLE  > Too many elements moving together  > Spent time cutting out the messages with the background and same with pink aria images though, so should use these with additional interactive elements  > Thought about the hover interaction used on Ell's page  > Make pink aria pictures appear if you hover over another image or symbol? eg. finger up pixel cursor art used in aria collage experiments  > Makes more sense to have the messages as hover elements, as the pink aria images create an important visual and if they were not present most of the time until the user interacted with them this would reduce the level of interest in the overall imagery  > Typing message symbol can be used for hover element instead for the story  > This way the user is following the story b...
