Presentation feedback and new design ideas

First day back from easter holiday i had a presentation for all the work i had done over easter holiday. For me the most important aspect of presentations is preparation, time management and building up confidence. Initially i felt i could present work with minimal visuals, and more writing explaining my concepts, while also hoping those would be able to understand my work without me going into a deep description or not having sub headings for each slide, guiding you through the presentation. Furthermore, in terms of my actual presentation i was advised to focus on my demographic and show an understanding of my target through design sheets and mood boards;this helps guide viewers who have never seen my project before, to understand my project and the direction in which i take. Having analysed and discussed my presentation with my peers and tutor i now understand the importance of having a presentation which is created with much more care and thought. The layout of my presentation could have been much better with less writing and more visual work to present, while also having more detail in terms of my target audience. Additionally i have learnt how to develop my presentation skills as well as moving forward in my project.
This knowledge will be useful to me as a designer, and a learner, as i am not yet confident about presenting my work and moving forward with ideas. I will now need to keep in mind my project theme, the purpose for my title, and who it is aimed for when creating and planning my designs.

I then decided to explore new designs which can communicate the general theme of my project.
I began sketching and brainstorming ideas in order to create these designs, along with feedback from my peers i had made a plan for my designs.

DEATH BY NUMBERS - Drum Kit Pattern Experimentation's

Today I experimented using mark making to create visuals for the drum pattern. HI HAT SNARE DRUM BASS DRUM

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...
