Development 1

> After struggling with the work load in deadline time had a discussion with Rhianna about what is realistically possible for the time frame with her deadline on the 13th 
> Feels unlikely to have both publications fully designed to the level I want to take them, particularly with all the 3D graphics 
> Fully developed one publication + Leave other to be continued after uni?
> Her discussion with her tutor was that the other designer's photos were stronger, which is unfortunate as I already have designed a lot for this one 
> She therefore needs a fully designed publication for this one and a simple layout version for the other, both with covers and mocked up to present her work as something can be applied to different contexts 

> It is only myself that is placing these intricate detailed graphic ideas onto my stress, and so should look to making designed but more simple spreads for the first publication to ensure everything is finished for Rhianna at the level she wants 


> Find that using water textures over gradients and playing with layer styles works really well as a quick textural background for images, and provides an other planet aesthetic with the feel of terrain or infrared waves 

> Like Preternatural and publications from research that look at futuristic aesthetic, circular image crops and images of repeated people from different angles all create a scientific analysis tone 

> Text from quotes about GAIA but nouns changed to X as to be both inclusive on the female gaze and tone of 'female'. Doing this for human race also suggests that these people are not necessarily what you may presume, it is not the same as earth and its categorisations or perceptions but a more free world 

> Matching the images with the backgrounds through colours also important to create cohesion between different elements, above one works best with link between red hair and turquoise eye make up 
> Use of neon green as stroke outline colour and for text creates an element of consistency throughout and works well as a bright contrasting colour with series of images 


> Peer feedback: Prefer brightness of second experiment but colours of first, combine both?


 > Experiment with another form of 3D type to create a large range of ideas and set an experimental bold tone of the publication 

> Use of green stroke and soft futuristic corners on additional layered images as consistent with other designs 

> All images paired together to force the viewer to look at the people, who are central to the photography series

 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 ...

 - 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...

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...
