GIF WORKSHOP


During the day i participated in a workshop which was teaching us how to create a GIF using Illustrator and Photoshop. With the aim to create a GIF which showcased some type of change in form of a letter, we began exploring different practitioners which used animation to create motion typography. 

Looking at the designer for Mike Perry Studio had much influence on my GIF.  His work consists of illustrative typography and images, which as they move tell a story, showcasing some sort of narrative through shapes. I found his compositions very much lively as he has a creative use of compact and dense layout in his work, and also uses multiple colours which brings life to his work. I'm also interested in the way in which he manipulates forms, using hand-crafted illustrations and making them transform from shapes to characters and using the warp tool to create these unorthodox and bizarre shapes.


MY FINAL GIF
As a final GIF I was proud of how it turned out and was very eager to see how I could incorporate this into my final major project. 
My next step is to create visuals for each genre of music and implement movement into them.

DEATH BY NUMBERS: MAP DESIGN

I had been given feedback on this design outcome, which was to look into creating a sequence as its much clearer and relates to music and notations. Also to consider the scale and general composition and how it would be presented. Whether it would be a good out map, or a large map stuck on the wall. This feedback was essential as it assisted my understanding for format and composition, and designing an outcome which fufill the main objective or some how supports it. After been given feedback for this design I began to work on my designs in a different composition, and working on a way of putting my individual outcomes into a sequence.

Optical Illusions and patterns

I decided to look into optical illusions as it enables the human eye to visualize something 2D move as if it is 3D. I want to incorporate the art of illusion into my pieces to create animations out of paintings.  As i researched into optical illusions i began to realise that they consisted of quite basic lines patterns and shapes which I felt could well represent frequency and flow in music. Exploring illusions also allowed me to understand structure in which i could incorporate in my designs. With lines being more prominent than others in optical illusions and shapes being larger it displays the use of hierarchy, which i can relate to the instrumentation and structures of music. David Szakaly  I decided to look into the designer David Szakaly, as he uses shape and form to create these smooth transitioned, illusion like gifs. I was very interested in how the shapes morphed, it reminded me of music visualiser in a sense of capturing the movement of the sound...
