DESIGN FOR SCREEN - INTERACTIVE

Interactive boards

Weight watchers, bus stop weighing. Nice idea, a bit awkward if unknowingly sat upon this seat, but it's interactive and makes people aware of their weight - possibly making them insecure enough to join?


Makes vending machines that much more exiting



A loevly, passing by method of advertising



Time is key here. Most effective at night i'm sure. something to think about...

Using nature as a helping hand. Beautiful. It may not be directly as screen, but i like it anyway.

DESIGN FOR SCREEN

I  like the combination of hand drawn and computerised elements, they really go hand in hand. The consistent colour palette I feel helps it to achieve this. I really like the layout too. It's grid like system keeps it simple and easy to use. 

PACKAGING INSPIRATION

A very simple way to hold several flat items


A decorative style, with the ability to see the inside product.

A decorative book sleeve. Perhaps use a sleeve to hold entirety of products?

POSTCARD INSPIRATION

Amy Rodchester

These were some designs for Newcastle festival of dance, I really like the composition and repeated element here. A potential idea for my own product?

A possibility? Playing card like format? With relating quotes?

WHAT IS DESIGN FOR SCREEN? - Websites and stop animation

STOP ANIMATION


Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

"Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA's actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli's 1972 diagram."

VISUAL LANGUAGE - BIRDS & BOOKS

UNKNOWN ARTIST


THIBAUD HEREM - ILLUSTRATION

Similar to what I want to produce, a simple book showing different kinds of birds done in watercolour and pen.



I really like the simplicity of these pages. Sticking to just black and white gives the book a 'fine' quality.




Moving parts to show flashes of colour, to change and manipulate shape perhaps?

Have 3d pages perhaps? A repeated image making it look 3 dimensional?


SU BLACKWELL


Bird related pop up/ 3d book?
