Idat 310: Cling stuff

Here are some of the graphics/designs I have complete for my groups game, Cling:

First logo design

Playing with fonts for more logo ideas

I found this 3D font, that I just love….I have used a number of different colours here, however, I believe the white, purple and transparent are the ones that work best with the font:

Will put these to group and see what they say

Prid 302: Outline of idea

November 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Here is a link to a word doc of my Final Project Outline:

Outline final year project

I am now waiting to be allocated a tutor.

With these ideas as well, I would also like to include a confession project, where at the moment I am thinking of getting people to text or email their confessions and they will be displayed of screens, however they will NOT be anonymous like real confessions. Another idea i have had is the “washer or walker” project, where I place a flashing sign above a toilet that when a person walk out of the toilet it flashes WASHER or WALKER….but I am not sure whether I would be able to set up a webcam in a public toilet, unless there is another way to set this project up. I could maybe even look in to sexual diseases, as people do keep quiet/private about them when sometime they need to be open about them

If I could as well I would love for my work to be set up in an exhibition in an art gallery, so all the pieces can get experienced in their right ways.

I have edited the red Involve logo to a more pink one as followed, as it is a Involve-logo(8)bit more brighter and stands out better.

Idat 307: New idea- Exploding Photograph

November 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I have yet again had another idea for 4D, I have to put to Mike……

I am thinking of looking at taking a still photograph with a fish eye lens camera (so my piece can get placed in the Dome), that I will add an explosive/zoom effect on it that creates the idea of you suddenly being in the scene of where the picture has been taken.

I want the user to feel like they are diving into the picture and looking around the environment. This will play with time and space as it takes a still picture that has already been taken in the past, but the viewer will experience the picture as if they are in the scene at the present.

This idea reminds me of the scene in Minority Report, when they drive in deeper to a video feed, to find evidence.

Again got to see Mike and see what he thinks, otherwise it back to idea one…….

Prid 302: First idea

October 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As my Dissertation is about privacy, and how the Internet is drawing people to broadcast themselves more, I am thinking of taking and developing on this for my final year project.

My idea is to use projecting visuals that is invading people’s privacy, either created by a VJ linked with Twitter, filming the inside of a building and broadcasting it on the outside, or placing camera around campus and showing the footage on the projection.

I really like the work that is by Urban Screen and how their projecting are molded around the building in use, they definitely are my main inspiration.

You can find all their work here:

Today I have told Shaun my beginning ideas and he thought they are cool ideas and really interesting. So now I am going to research more into this and come up with a really cool idea that invades and exposes people – just hope people don’t start to hate me :S
