Crit Feedback

Lockdown Magazine

- love the newspaper aesthetic

- can it be reimagined for a digital platform?

- cheap, accessible but digital

- imagine if dating apps didn't exist but the internet did, how would this look? publication would become somewhere lonely people post stories and look for dates (much like original planned content)

- 90s internet aesthetic, crazy type and visuals 

- corona posters could be even more like the original ones, as using stylised type makes them lose their official gov quality and makes it feel less realistic and subverted 

- viewer shouldn't realise it's subverted until they look closer and read the info







IDENTITY - RESEARCH PROJECT

- Like bread idea, really daft and silly 
- abstract and social concept there is no tangible definition for what it is
- this could very easily be transferred to a publication 
- what if you made the viewer question their identity by using such questions but in a more abstract way: do you identify with yellow? do you feel more like an 'and' or 'it'?
- words that have little illustrative connotations, forces them to think about what the word may mean and how it may relate to them 

Research Reading Points 
> Anthony Giddens (easy reading bad opinions) 
> Move onto Beverly Sheggs (opposing opinion to Giddens)

- Giddens writes very convincingly, makes you believe you can change and choose things for yourself and who you are 
- Could I convince people they are something they are not? Or that they are a bread roll?

 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...
