Exploring Individual Sounds - Childish Gambino

Exploring Individual Sounds - Childish Gambino - Dial Up

scan sketchbook for experiments

Today i produced a variation of outcomes for the Childish Gambino Song 'Dial Up'. Taking the feedback given from my previous critical assessment, i scanned black and white cut outs of my previous paintings and created a sequenced composition.

Having made this composition i feel their could be much more designs for instruments incorporated as it is very repetitive, however i am pleased with the visual look of the sequence. Additionally I have learned the importance of developing designs and experimentation as it will play a huge roll in creating a final outcome and give much more variety when incorporating designs into the sequence. I have significantly developed my skills in creating higher quality designs through focusing on elements such as composition, placement, size and colours. As a designer, this skill is essential in creating aesthetically pleasing work while also learning the key elements of design work. As a next step i need to explore individuals sounds in scrutiny, with more experiments and potentially focusing on a shorter song.

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...
