Soul experiments GIF outcomes

After creating my paintings I went onto designing moving GIFS.

I wanted to give my paintings more life as appose to making them move and seem more interactive. However i feel this was not direct enough for my project theme, and did not have any narrative. In order to move forward i have learnt i must keep the project theme and purpose in mind and give my outcomes a narrative.

I liked this piece as it allowed me to picture sound visually with the painting morphing into ripple shapes, i feel like this enabled me to visualise the sound for this piece, while also capturing movement in my paintings. This however, similar to the first gif does not explore a narrative or present a vivid enough story for my target audience.

For me the significant issue was that my pieces where not direct enough for my theme, as initially i noticed having moving imagery would help communicate a sense of motion and change that is associated with music. Having experimented with these designs and created these gifs, i question that i have the right visuals to evoke sound as these images are very abstract. Most importantly i have learned that i have not sufficiently developed my understanding of the purpose of my project. This skill is essential to me as a designer as i must learn to keep the objective in mind at all times, and any design made without the key intentions being shown is a sign that i must explore deeper and redirect to my proposal.

As a next step I need to explore how to simplify my work for my target audience.

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...
