Emotion Box 3D Project (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimensions)

Emotion Box 3D Project (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimensions)

Initial Sketch: Emotion Box 3D

Colours used: Blue (base), Green, Red, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Grey, Violet, Black

BLUE represent intellectual therefore I will be using it as a base colour to represent the brain which is the basket. The rest of the colours are emotions such as aggression, depression, peace, harmony, warmth and etc. They will be hung from the top but stay within inside the basket representing the emotions inside the brain. The baskets will be cut in between to enable a clear vision from the outside

Project Name (Revised) (Graphic Design 3 Part 2)

After a brief discussion with the module leader the name of the project 1 Pic 1 Day (IPID) has that acronym word 'IPID' which can be used as a catchphrase like Twitter 'tweet'. Therefore the module leader asked me to explore more on that:

1. 1 Pic 1 Day (I.P.I.D)
2. Snap A Pic (SN.A.P)
3. Photo of the Day (P.O.D)
4. I.SNAP
5. Be A Camera (B.CAM)
6. Picture Book (POOK)
7. My Pic (My.PIC)

Colour Affect (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)

Colour Affect (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)

Colour psychology is a study of colour as a determinant of human behavior as some colour has mental and physical effect on the human body. Leslie Harrington from the Color Association of the United Kingdom says that colours influence how we feel for a several reasons, one would be personal preference and also cultural or social levels. An example will be "when you look at red, your heart rate increases."

RED

RED colour has the longest wavelength and often considered the most powerful colour in the spectrum. RED is technically not the most visible colour of all but it has a certain property that attracts attention thus the red light in traffic lights all across the world. RED do have a physical effect when looked upon it increase the heart rate of those looking and make time appears to move faster. It possesses both the qualities of a friendly and lively stimulation while also can be aggressive and demanding.

Positives: Physical Courage, Strength, Warmth, Energy, Excitement, Stimulation, Masculinity, 'fight or flight'.

Negatives: Defiance, Aggression, Visual Impact, Strain.

BLUE 

BLUE is often use to portray intellectual properties, and also the colour of the mind. It has a mental effect on us unlike the RED which stimulate physical reactions. Strong BLUE will instill clear thought and soft BLUE have a calming effect and also aid in concentration. It is always serene and calming in nature, however the colour is not as close to us as RED does. While it does give a calming expression BLUE also is perceived as cold, unfriendly and unemotional (feeling blue)

Positives: Intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty, logic, coolness, reflection, calm.

Negatives: Loneliness, Unfriendliness, Coldness, Emotionless

YELLOW

The wavelength of YELLOW is also long like RED and also stimulating in this case, its emotion. Therefore psychologically YELLOW is at the top. With the right tone of the colour it can help to promote self-esteem and spirits. However too much or a wrong tone of the yellow will cause anxiety, fear and lower self-esteem.

Positives: Optimism, confidence, self-esteem, emotional strength, friendliness, creativity.   

Negatives: Irrationality, fear, emotional fragility, depression, anxiety, suicide.

GREEN

Resting at the center of the spectrum GREEN represents balance. The colour strikes the eyes without any restraints therefore giving it a resting feel. Most people considers GREEN as the colour of relaxation. It also considered as the colour of life as the Earth is covered with greenery indicating life. The bad side of GREEN is that it also brings out the feeling of being bland and boring.

Positives: Harmony, balance, refreshment, rest, restoration, reassurance, environmental awareness, equilibrium, peace. 

Negatives: Boredom, stagnation, blandness.

Spectrum of Colours (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)

Spectrum of Colours (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)

A spectrum is a range over some measurable property for example sound, mass and even colours. Issac Newton used spectrum as a division of colours in his colour wheel: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

We were required to take a few pictures of a colour spectrum. 

How a white ceiling turned yellow when a light covered in a yellow frame shines

Different intensity of light source may change the colour of an object, in the picture above the tree leaves are green but when exposed to a strong light source like the sun the colour changes.

When a strong light source is exposed towards the perception's point of view, colours of the objects may seem brighter than it's original colour and can be seen to be almost white entirely.

Discussion (Advanced Professional Practices)

Discussion (Advanced Professional Practices)

After multiple discussions with the module leaders, today 26th of February have settled in on various things on the exhibition planning.

The name of the exhibition

First is the name of the exhibition "Expo5ed" with a tagline (with 4lowers). The meaning behind this is that the main graduates are 5 members plus with the theme of the exhibition which is 'Technology' in which we derive the word exposed as to exposing ourselves to a new experience, exposing to new learning and expose as in expressing ourselves. All that combined comes "Expo5ed". In addition to the 5 main graduates there are 4 other Part 1 students which are also going to be joining the graduates for the exhibition as well. "4lowers" which is another way of saying 'followers' indicates that instead of just 5 of the main graduates there are also 4 post graduates that are following along for the journey. It can also be used for others like the lecturers and module leaders that will be there for the exhibition and also the visitors that come to the exhibition as they are following us for the journey.

Technology theme

Because of the final products of the 5 main graduates are somewhat related to technological involvement such as websites, application for mobile devices and conceptual video, we choose technology as the theme. 

Additional ideas

In addition to the exhibition preparations, the committee also suggested to have a T-shirt design for each of the members involved each group with a different design to differentiate the members from committee, main graduates, post graduates and lecturers.

For a gift or merchandising, we also suggested to have card prints with a function during the exhibition and also T-shirt sales. 

Date and Location

It is confirmed that the exhibition will be on the 13th to 15th of May during the assessment week and the location is to be in Publika.

Image Analysis Idea (Animation 3 Part 2)

Image Analysis Idea (Animation 3 Part 2)

Based on the previous images analysis a few ideas is generated influenced by the images. Here are 3 ideas:

1. To inform people about smartphone addiction and the dangers of the addiction to society.
2. To show the people what is really happening in reality about smartphone addiction from a different standpoint.
3. To create an awareness about the smartphone addiction to those who are affected and those around them.
