IXD101 9 Iterations and Experimentation

During my one on one with Paul on Tuesday about general things we ended up talking about previous tasks, and the iterations project came up. I decided I would resize these in photoshop for Instagram. I also wanted to create some illustrations instead and recently received new pens so I decided to do some experiments on paper.

IXD102 Presentation Review & Feedback

We finally presented our presentation after about 3 weeks of working on the powerpoints. Our group consisted of 4 people: Leonie, Cormac, Jessica, and myself. I felt like we did not distribute the work well which wasn’t helped by the lack of communication. I am someone who doesn’t like leaving things last minute and doesn’t really mind doing work. Luckily Leonie did a major amount of the work alongside myself. We divided up the slides we created to allow the others some content. However, the others added 1/2 of their own slides which we didn’t account for which brought us substantially over the 10-minute mark that our original presentation was already pushing. From this, I learned to push communication and accommodate more from others. We got good feedback on the content and layout, with the only fault being the readability of the font on some of the colored backgrounds. The actual presentation of the PowerPoint didn’t phase me too much as I don’t mind public speaking.

Due to this I wanted to depict the summer mood as much as possible and began by looking for inspiration.                                   Using these I created some sketches in my book:                                                                               After this, I went into Photoshop and created some drawings, and played around with the style I wanted to draw it in. I tried making it more painterly however I found that block colors worked quite well.                   After this, all I had to do was add the font and text. For this, I looked at multiple fonts in adobe and on google fonts and felt like I wanted a handwritten font but couldn’t find […]

IXD102 Wire Frames

I have now completed the 1000 words and have a bit left to go on the essay. These are some wireframe sketches I drew up in my sketchbook. the main inspiration is from the penguin books and the work Jan Tschichold created himself.
