Identity Presentation

 > Minimal time to fully developed this project before deadline but will look to developing this into an interactive website that carries the user through different options and to what the end may look like as a result of these choices 

eg. 

 choose your difficulty (user picks hard) 

choose your character (user picks angry) 

GAME OVER > Your life may be harder to manoeuvre when trying to deal with every day problems you can face. Want to try again?  

> Posters on their own work well as the foundation and direction of aesthetic for website 

> Could be used later on as physical and digital publicity and as add ons for the website 

> Want to present its digital sphere, 3D spinning poster?

> Animation of different coloured textures in each poster? 


> Added glow onto poster to enhance the ethereal tone, which is good for creating a sense of new life or something real and changing within a digital space

> Used a lot in games and film to suggest something altering 

> Having this glow recede and increase as the poster turns is good for extra detail and feeling of motion 

> Could animate all posters if have time? 

> Is there purpose in animating them all as turning? Good for presenting one idea but may feel repetitive for others. Detail focus crops on other posters another appropriate way of showcasing design 

> What is appropriate in terms of actually encouraging the target audience to question their choices?

> Hard to answer these questions at this stage when I know this will be developed into a website, whereas for now the function at this stage is purely a decorative design one, posters showcasing the aesthetic

> Use of morphing colours from choose emotional status of first experiment works well as background visual

> For future developments I should play around more with this, as it is the most successful element of the tests, as the overlaid colour texture morph well above the soft blur of a form on a black background 


> Other tests with the spikey green form not as translatable to a digital feeling animation as the edges stay the same and feel stagnant and less ethereal

> Playing around with adobe aftereffects wave and distortion FX worked well in making these edges change in an appropriate spikey way, relevant to the initial idea of having this form represent the more negative side of a person and their choices 


> Unsuccessful as not range of posters within mock up

> Interesting presentation of posters about digital world in a grungy real world context, could this be considered in its development as a game? 

> What would the adverts be of such an interactive website?

 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...
