Creating my Death By Numbers Composition Sequence + Evaluation

I spent my last week developing my final outcome and testing the format out.
Files are too big to show outcomes
(The process for creating my final outcome is in my sketchbook)

I was generally pleased with the design of my outcome however it's presentation did not meet my expectations. As I printed on acetate the colours did not show as strong as I had imagined. For it to be visible it should have had a solid colour against the print to bring out the colours.
Furthermore, In an ideal world I would have had music playing to accompany the piece, which would allow viewers to get different experiences of the song. I would also have the outcome printed out , in acetate, on a larger scale and placed on a white background in order for it to be more visible and surround the room. This would guide my concept on music becoming apart of your environment when listening to it.

To conclude I have learnt that development and experimentation is essential in a creative process, as it builds up the quality of your outcomes. For example trying different variations of the same design and working with placement and composition allows you to choose the higher quality designs in stead of sticking to one.
As well as that, contextual research is as equally important as being knowledgeable on artist works can build up your own visual language and understanding for a range if formats.

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...
