Lockdown Website Development

 > Recreated rotating titles on Leon's mac, transferred to my laptop and downloaded additional software to allow the transition to play on my windows 

> Lots of work into these animations but it elevates the website with these moving pieces and makes it feel more interactive and more of a dimensional space rather than a flat site 


Newspaper GIF inspo 




> Wix doesn't allow links between additional windows and pages with videos

> All links will have to be done through images
> This restricts animations that can be used but can adapt how they are placed so that the interaction between the user and the page is still obvious = eg. animated elements may draw them in more and feel more interactive, but the attention should be drawn to the element which links them to the content (arrows, text etc.) 

> Laying out the website on photoshop to work with the elements from each design and create the sketch before placing it on the website 
> Allows recognition of what needs to be created for additional pages 


Individual articles needed for each person to be created 

ARIA 


> Parallax scroll between each section 
> Layering, dimensions and collage aesthetic successful 
> Elements cross over between sections on top of parallax scroll if this is allowed on wix need to check 
> Article text kept in message bubbles for digital chat aesthetic 
> Gallery of images with side to side buttons if these can be used for this function on wix (may be that you have to use their set buttons) 

PEER FEEDBACK
Last section feels underdeveloped compared to the rest 
More interaction between background and foreground or make it even more simple with just her picture, one way or the other 


> More going on
> More interaction between layers and dimensions 
> Still retains simplicity to allow the impactful moment at the end of the story to have its focus 
> Emphasises how at the end of fast paced relationship she's on her own in the end 
> Overall full on busy aesthetic generally of whole article presents craziness of experience and feelings and experiences all over the place 

TO DO
Make animations with Leon's laptop 
Work through finishing main website page and looking at how the background could start to take form 
Ell Article layout

 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...

PPP Task 1 Research

  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...
