Design for Screen - After effects trial

In this blog, there are screenshots below of me using the program After Effect and hows me doing a trial of my app prototype in progress. I had to look up tutorials to help me get the correct effects I wanted my app to have throughout the video, and also adding music to the background. I have taken screenshots to show the procedure on how the app will function. There will be a link to my student Youtube account, that show the videos of trials that I have done with my app. 

Mock up no.1 - after some research on basing on current apps, a lot of the loading screens were either a bar, a rotating/spinning circle. I took the inspiration on the spinning/rotation movement for my app's loading screen animation. I used the four colours of my colour scheme and made 1/4 of them. Then I combined them together to make a whole circle to make the rotation animation. I also added the vector of the paper plane as it is sending the information to the plane. Then at the bottom the words 'order being processed..." and "completed" will come after each other. Then once completed, then the circle with the paper plane and the word completed will zoom out of the screen. Giving it a pop out effect to the users operating the app. Below is the link to the animation in motion. 



Next is a mock up animation of the entertainment section and the motion it does when being used.


This mock up animation demonstrates how the motion of the logo of the app and the typing into an account works. 



Mock up no.4 animation displays on how the main screen will appear once logging into your account. 


The last mock up animation, presents when the user selects one of the four sections on the bottom of the main screen. In this case, the yellow box title "information" has been chosen. By the user selecting this it will open to the animation below (link to Youtube video) then it will open up on the users one way or connecting flight and much more information based on their flight. 


Overall, these mock ups when well. In the tutorials online on Youtube, they all advised me that it is better to do these animations in their individual sections, doing it all at once.

When all the different sections of the app is completed, I can them compress them into one whole video with music. 

There was some difficulties when making the animation move in the motion I wanted it to go. But after looking carefully at the tutorials, I was able to overcome the problems.

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis.  The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'.  'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'.  Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'.  Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'.  'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'.  'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts   The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page.  The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical).  To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally.  The siz...
