Module 5.2 Process Document

At the start of this module, my knowledge of techniques and technologies were quite limited as I've never had the chance/opportunity to explore them. I would stick to Adobe softwares InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premier Pro but primarily InDesign and Photoshop.

Week 1: Launch And Mini Brief

During the group mini project, I found it quite fun quickly brainstorming ideas since I can be slow sometimes to stick to one idea so it was nice to be outside my comfort zone.

Neurodiversity

In a group of four, Isaac Moorehouse, Jasmine Capiter, Edward Morrell and I, created an idea that is based on how people with ADHD perceive the world and what living with ADHD is like. We wanted to showcase this by projecting movement onto a wall that can be shown as

John Maeda’s 10 Laws of Simplicity

After looking at John Maeda’s 10 Laws of Simplicity, I chose to focus on Law 7 - Emotions and Law 2 - Organise. In design, I believe that emotions should play a big part on the process and outcome as it heavily influences decisions and choices. It shows the design

Week 2: Innovations

I enjoyed looking back on old projects and thinking about how I could improve it with the new knowledge I have now and considering new technologies since it inspires me to adventure more with my design work.

Emerging

I wanted to focus on my 4.4 project from level 4 with the photography brief. Looking back at my outcome, I looked at colour picking, swatches and location which I thought would be intresting to develop on further. I liked how there was different lighting levels and how this

AR Intervention

For my AR instalment, I wanted to base it off where I work since I spend most of my time there. I see customers coming in every day so fast that I thought a car that goes back and forth repeatedly well represents that. I also added it in the

Week 3: Workflow

These tasks were interesting since I don't like the idea of generating lots of random designs and having the coding do it all for me, however, as frustrating as it got at times, I did think the whole idea of it was cool and could be a helpful tool in the future. This also gave me a moment to reflect on my workflow and how I deal with my projects.

Experimental Cover

With this task, I had quite a few troubles and things not working the way I wanted them to so I tried my best to showcase my idea. My original idea was to have different sized circles overlapping each other and having the opacity so you can see every circle

Identifying

My workflow usually involves mindmapping my ideas first of all which can be a mess of ideas all written down in different formats, mainly either in lists, bullet points, mindmaps or drawn out diagrams. Hand writing stuff at first helps as it sticks in my head easier and makes room

Week 4: Production

6 x 6 Briefs

Design for Connection For this topic in the 6 x 6 briefs, I wanted to focus on something I enjoy myself and know of others who enjoy it too, stargazing. I have an idea to create am AR that can show directions for spots for stargazing and when the next

Week 5: Distribution

Looking at these websites gave me inspiration and a new outlook on what I could do with my work. Looking at how interactive and fun these were to play about with and explore, it makes me wonder how I could do this with my own work in the future or change past work to further expand on it.

Brutalist Websites

Vi Novell del Celler Masroig Starting off with this website, visually it stunned me with the colours and the type before I looked about on the website. Obviously, the language is different so I won’t be able to fully understand what it is about but from having a look about,
