Experimentation DAY1

I began exploring the idea of movement and expression through colours and experimenting with different materials. I decided to take photographs and recordings of movement in liquid substances, using inks and food colouring to look at the patterns, marks and shapes they created. I came out with some very interesting photos that then generated further ideas.

As i began videoing the inks dipped in water, it sparked ideas around music visualisers and the explosive colours and forms that appeared intrigued me. I wanted to capture these forms in motion as an image and evoke the same experience, while also relating it to the rock genre 'heavy-metal'.

Through Looking into the movement in the inks, my aim was to evoke expansion. I used inks and rubbing alcohol to see the reactions and marks it would create. I particularly was focused on how the inks traveled around the page, as i played with the direction in which the ink ran on the page i began to relate them to different chords and instruments which flow in and out of the composition. Using different colours helped signify the multiple functions which constructed a heavy metal piece, with the electric guitar, bass and lead singer all in one playing in unison.

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...
