Animating + Content Development

 ANIMATIONS 


> Had so many problems trying to animate the second part 'TIPS N TRICKS' 
> Photoshop became buggy and would not set keyframes when changes were made
> Attempted to switch to aftereffects but options to change the extrusion of the shape were not available, and researching why led to a whole additional set of problems 

> Attempts to recreate it again on photoshop began to work but found that the movement of the 3D camera created a completely different video than what I thought I had made
> Really frustrating as my laptop obviously cannot deal with 3D developments 

> Spent too much time on this already 



> Found that if I used mesh to move the object in the same place this worked
> However exporting as GIF would crash and rendering export would create a video where the object doesn't move, despite it moving on photoshop
> Attempts to redo these processes again and again with no success

> Need to leave it as spent two days nearly on these 

> TIPS N TRICKS article design 
> Very Tumblr aesthetic, strong digital 
> Too much space? Feels unbalanced 
> Wave type not very old internet aesthetic, as all text and images followed square by square grids, circles and rounded edges harder to do 


> Time pattern, abstract as background, but in symbol presents the time you're waiting till you're back with your partner = what the lockdown feels like 


> Could be too complicated? 
> Feels appropriate for the early internet aesthetic 
> text still legible on 3D boxes 
> Additional pull quote not legible however, add additional box? 


> Pixelate disintegrating in a 2000s word presentation aesthetic 
> Doesn't work with overall design here as it is its own design in itself, too complicated
> Additional design on its own? 


> Portrait makes more sense = when the user scrolls, they will get the tips one by one, it will flow more successfully than reading it side to side
> the format of the tips in their individual boxes means they are more appropriate in such a portrait on top of each other layout 
> This way the boxes can also be bigger and more readable 
> The animated title can also be placed above which will make a coherent progression for the user as they scroll

 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...
